The MBA curriculum at IBS Hyderabad is heavily focused on case studies. The academic department designs these case studies to help students improve their decision-making and interpretation skills. The case studies are distributed to students every week, and they are considered to be an interactive and comprehensive learning tool, combining both objective and subjective data to give a thorough understanding of the concepts.
You will find that your day is filled with back-to-back lectures, presentations, case study discussions, guest lectures by prominent speakers, and other skill development activities. In your first semester, you will have 8-9 subjects and lectures from 9:30 AM to 6 PM, which may make you feel that you have little time to relax.
Ultimately, it is up to you to make the most of the academic curriculum and resources provided to you.
If you measure the worth of a degree by its salary, you will never be satisfied, and I recommend that you do not pursue an MBA. Money is only one of many factors to consider before beginning an MBA program. The salary you have is something that most people do not get even after an MBA/Executive MBA; average salary packages range between Rs. 22 and Rs. 25 lakhs. You are already earning twice as much.
If you want to advance your knowledge of business/strategy/finance/organizational behavior and advance to a higher position where you can have a significant impact, an MBA is unquestionably a good option. However, there is no guarantee that you will earn more than 50 lakhs after completing your EMBA. Go for it if you want to learn and are willing to take a pay cut after your MBA. Don't do it if you're only in it for the money. You could invest in the stock market and watch your money double over time. MBA does not magically transform 50 lakhs into 1 crore.
CSE is the best branch in LNCT Bhopal in terms of placement. The top recruiters include Wipro, Mu Sigma, Aon Hewitt, Dell, IBM, Godrej, HP, Samsung, Oracle, and more. Unfortunately, there are no coding groups running in the college, and no such conversation is initiated among students.
Even teachers do not show any interest in creating technical communities or putting effort into activities. For any club to exist, seniors need to take the initiative and allow the juniors to follow. This is not the case at LNCT Bhopal and students lack interest.
Overall, there is no external learning in college apart from the core classroom lectures.
While the IIM tag is a plus, the cost of the Executive MBA program at IIM Indore's Mumbai campus is too high in my opinion. Instead, you should consider alternative options such as the British MBA Degree from Cardiff Met University or the Internationally accredited European MBA Degree from the Swiss School of Management, both offered by Universal Business School in Mumbai on Sundays.
There are several advantages to these alternative programs.
These programs can be completed in 1 year to 15 months, making them super fast, super efficient, and super convenient.

If you want to know about the real point of view of students, let me tell you, KIET is the best among all these colleges. KIET provides amazing placements for their BTech department, especially their CSE branch. In 2023 the highest package in CSE was INR 48.89 LPA. The placement percentage was also very high at 93.98%.
Our college is also very lenient in terms of attendance. If you are like me, and struggling to make up for the classes, this college can be a good option as KIET will not give you a headache for the same. There are a variety of festivals and cultural events celebrated in KIET.
The Gujarat board has tried their best to replicate their books as much as they can with the CBSE books. Students appearing for GUJCET need to only prepare the 12th standard course. Students may find it difficult to determine their focus and time for 11th standard course or GUJCET.
Students need to make one of the exams their priority as the timing of both the exams clash with each other. Though, if any student has prepared for both of the examinations from the beginning and is very confident about doing well in both of them, then they may proceed to and opt both. Otherwise, the focus should be on one exam at a time.
In Gujarat board, some questions aren't even rephrased or have diagrams with a missing label and the same diagram may not be there in other books which creates a lot of confusion. The duration is the same in both the exams, but GUJCET is less lengthy compared to NEET.
In GUJCET, there are around 120 questions as compared to 180 questions in NEET. Students need to practice time management to solve the paper on the given time limit. The rules and regulations differ in both the exams. The check-in isn't so strict in GUJCET while in NEET, they can even rip off your sleeves.

Another major difference is regarding the use of calculators. In GUJCET, it is allowed for students to use calculators while in NEET it isn't. Though, in GUJCET, the questions are sometimes a bit complex while in NEET, there isn't any requirement to use it.
The marking system also differs in both the exams. In GUJCET, students are rewarded 1 mark for each correct answer while 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect answer while in NEET, each correct answer is rewarded with 4 marks and 1 mark is deducted in case of each wrong answer. Though, students residing outside of Gujarat need to possess a domicile for appearing in GUJCET.
So, students should take a note of the exam pattern of both the exams before appearing for it.
To compare two colleges (especially MBA) the parameters that should be considered - Industry connect; Alumni base; Academic levels; Course Curriculum; and Placements.
With respect to these parameters, NITIE is a great place to be due to the following reasons:
There are many more reputed colleges but NITIE is one of the best colleges for industrial engineering.
I am a second year B.Tech student at IIT Bhubaneswar, and I can say that my institution is better in this case.
Here are the reasons why IIT Bhubaneswar is better than Bharati Vidyapeeth Delhi-
Here are the 2023 placement details for IIT Bhubaneswar:
Particulars | Details |
---|---|
Placement Percentage (B.Tech) | 88% |
Placement Percentage (M.Tech) | 89% |
Highest Package | INR 55.75 LPA |
Average Package (B.Tech) | INR 17.5 LPA |
Average Package (M.Tech) | INR 12.20 LPA |
I would recommend you choose IIT Bhubaneswar over Bharati Vidyapeeth Delhi based on these factors.
It’s difficult to predict the actual marks you need to score to get into CMC Ludhiana because the institute is minority-based and hardly has any seats for the open category. The cutoff for the previous year for various categories is
General |
351 |
OBC |
572 |
SC |
547 |
To stay on the safer side, try to score 600 marks in the NEET Phase 1 to get admission to CMC Ludhiana.
