I have received an admit from University of Waterloo and Concordia University for biological sciences. Which one should I choose?
Both the University of Waterloo and Concordia University have excellent programs in biological sciences. It ultimately boils down to which university aligns better with your goals and preferences. To make a better decision you can consider parameters like location, campus culture, available resources and opportunities, and the specific strengths of each program.
University of Waterloo
- The University of Waterloo is located in Waterloo, Ontario
- It is known for its strong emphasis on technology and innovation.
- It has a diverse range of research opportunities and a large number of co-op programs available to students.
Concordia University
- It is located in Montreal, Quebec.
- It has a reputation for its strong focus on interdisciplinary research and student-centered approach.
- It also offers a wide range of research opportunities and is known for its commitment to sustainability and social justice.
My suggestion to you would be to choose the University Of Waterloo over Concordia because it has better scope and facilities for Biological sciences when compared to Concordia University.
It’s better to research the specific areas of biological sciences that interest you and compare the research and course offerings at each university. Ultimately, the best choice is the one that aligns with your personal values and goals. Both universities have a lot to offer, so it's important to take your time and make an informed decision.
Which university is better: Poornima University or RIET (Rajasthan Institute of Engineering and Technology)?
Poornima University being a private institution has a very well structured and organized course. RIET on the other hand, is an engineering college affiliated with RTU and is not a university in itself.
Here are some facts that makes PU a better choice:
- PU unlike RIET provides an updated academic curriculum which caters to the latest industrial trends.
- The curriculum of RTU is becoming obsolete.
- PU focuses more on practical training enhancing the students skills.
- PU has a well experienced faculty, they are given proper training from industry leads during seminars and internships.
- The placements of PU are much better than RIET.
- The highest salary package of 37 LPA was offered by Google India to a PU student.
- TCS, IBM, Wipro and Infosys take students during mass recruitments.
| Categories | RIET | PU |
| Course Fee | INR 2.31 lakh | INR 2.08 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 75% | 80% |
| Highest CTC | 8 LPA | 10 LPA |
| Average CTC | 2.4 LPA | 4 LPA |
Therefore, if you consider every point, PU is definitely better than RIET. It is suggested that you go for PU as it is the best in the city.
What should I prefer, CSE at IIIT Lucknow or mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad?
For placements, IIIT Lucknow will be bast. But if you are interested in Mechanical then MNNIT Allahabad will be a better option. Although you should keep in mind that from the future perspective Mechanical will be a risky choice. Jobs are very less in the core sector and the package will be less. The competition is also quite high in both the public and private sectors.
Here are the recent placement statistics of the institutes.
| Parameters | IIIT Lucknow | MNNIT Allahabad |
| Average CTC | 18 LPA | 10 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 49 LPA |
But in the case of the CSE branch, you will surely get a job with a decent package. You can also change jobs between different companies as there are many opportunities available as IT is a booming sector at present.
Should I choose mechanical at Thapar or ECE at BIET Jhansi?
The best advice and answer for your question would be to, “Follow your heart". This is not supposed to be cliché but the best choice that you can make would be the one where you believe your career is.
If you have a keen interest in machines, automobiles, and thermodynamics, then you must opt for Mechanical Engineering. If you hold an interest in circuit branches, then you should opt for Electrical Engineering. If you realise your niche and have an honest interest in your branch then your choice of college would not matter much as the Course curriculum for Engineering is almost the same for both colleges.
A lot of people believe that Mechanical Engineering is the toughest but you should do your research before opting for your branch. Choosing the right branch will also give you enough time to prepare for CAT while attending your college.
Thapar University can be the best option if you can afford the fee. You will be given better job opportunities once you complete the degree. BIET Jhansi is recognized in UP only and the placement opportunity is very less. A few of my friends from BIET Jhansi have often complained about lack of resources and a very competitive environment.
Where shall I pursue my MBA, Welingkar Mumbai or IIM Jammu?
You should pursue an MBA at IIM Jammu. Your decision in this case should be influenced by the IIM's strong reputation for quality and the respect you receive from those around you. The following are the reasons behind the same:
- Money is always a motivator for candidates to pursue their dreams, allowing them to dream bigger. In both institutes, the package is nearly identical. It can vary, but if you are an intelligent candidate in both institutes, you can safely assume more than the 10LPA package.
- If not for a better package, it could be for learning business models, getting structured thought processes, starting your own business, or making the right business connections.
- IIM Jammu has strong ties with all HR professionals in the industry. It holds a variety of events at the institute on a regular basis. Students may participate in community activities.
- It has also partnered with Entrepreneurship cells and top business people in J&K to connect you with the right people. You have a fantastic library, a fantastic curriculum, and, of course, a fantastic environment in which to feel happy and positively imbibe what you are taught and experienced into your brain and heart.
Without a doubt, IIM Jammu is a perfect platform for one to enjoy and live in a very peaceful and aesthetic place, with nice people around you, while maintaining professionalism. It has a cultural festival, a sports festival, numerous fun events, celebrations, and so on that, you will remember for the rest of your life.

Which course is better: a 2-year PGDM in distance learning at NMIMS or a PGDM in distance learning executive at IMT Ghaziabad?
You should definitely think of applying to NMIMS for PGDM in distance learning as compared to IMT Ghaziabad. There are various reasons for the same. In my opinion, you should look at the brand of the college, personal growth, quality, and expenses like fees that you may incur when it comes to choosing between the two.
Let me elaborate on these and a few other points below.
- Brand Value: The distance learning PGDM program at NMIMS has always been recognized as a brand. It is always better to study from a brand institute as compared to a non-brand one. You might have to shell out a little more money, but it will ultimately help you in the future.
- Professional Growth and Industrial connections: If you are particularly looking to boost your professional resume or would like to grow in your company, doing an MBA definitely does make sense. However, in my opinion, you should not just do a PGDM from any college. If you are looking for professional growth, you can bank upon NMIMS with your eyes closed.
- Affordable: The program is quite affordable. If you are an ambitious student, you will be able to get the most out of this program without shelling out too much money.
- Quality and Personal Growth: In order to have good prospects after your degree, you need to have the correct knowledge. You might get into an average college thinking you are getting the correct education when in reality, that might not be the case. If your concepts are not clear, it will further hamper your actions in the future and could affect your personal growth.
- Exposure: If you plan to move abroad post the degree, it is necessary to earn the degree from a recognized institute. If you choose NMIMS PGDM, you will have worldwide recognition.
Thus, NMIMS is much better as compared to IMT Ghaziabad and my strong recommendation would be for this college.
Which is better IIIT Kota, NIT Delhi, or LNMIIT Jaipur?
Both IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi are government colleges and come with a fancy tag of IIIT and NIT. But LNMIIT is better than the above two. Here are the reasons why.
- Academics and Cultural Fests at LNMIIT are much better than those of IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi.
- LNMIIT is well established as it was established much before IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi. Due to the above point, it has a vast alumni network.
- The academic and Coding environment at LNMIIT is much better than IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi and hence it provides ample opportunities for its students to grow.
- Not just is Coding, LNMIIT provides many opportunities in other fields too.
- There are many societies and clubs like tech clubs, sports clubs, etc which provides everyone with a fair chance to grow and get involved in things he likes.
Finally, if you are a learning enthusiast and are keen to explore new things, you won't regret joining this college. My friend was torn between choices a few years back, and after much consideration he chooses LNMIIT. Based on his experience, I can say it was the right decision.
How is MS by Research at IIT Madras different from Phd? Considering both are research focused programs.
The basic differences between MR at IIT Madras and Ph.D. at IIT Madras are
- Research: MS program has less research work than Ph.D. It is considered an extended version of MS and many MS students go for a Ph.D. afterward.
- Degree: An MS degree is awarded if the student has a minimum of 1 international conference paper and if the panel is satisfied that the work has met the standards of the institute. Whereas a Ph.D. is awarded only when the student has a minimum of 2 international journal papers and if the panel is satisfied and considers it as per the standards of the institute.
- Coursework: An MS student needs to take at least 5 graduate courses whereas a Ph.D. needs to take 4. Additionally a Direct Ph.D. or M.S.+PhD. needs to take 8.
- Duration: The time taken to complete an MS program is between 1.5-3 years whereas for a Ph.D. and M.S. + Ph.D it takes 3-5 years. This duration might be increased in case a student is unable to complete it in the given time frame.
- Viva: In Ph.D., you are required to pass a challenging Viva Voce, while in M.S. you need not. The difficulty level of this viva varies from department to department.
- Stipend: Under the HTRA scheme, an MS student gets INR 12400 while a Ph.D. student gets INR 25000.
Despite these differences, the general routine and schedule of both MS and Ph.D. are similar. Ultimately, more than your program, your research topic and performance will matter.
How would you compare New IIMs primarily Raipur and Trichy to SIBM Pune?
I think you mean how the new IIMs can be compared to SIBM Pune. Rather than comparing, I will tell you what and why people are preferring the former over the latter.
Despite SIBM being an already well-established B School with better placement opportunities, many students prefer IIM Trichy over it. There are two major reasons for the same
- IIM tag
- IIM Trichy seems to be growing fairly well
The fact that people prefer it over SIBM, clearly speaks of its position in the future. Also, the IIM Tag seems very tempting considering its long-term benefits.
So go for SIBM Pune if you are only looking for a high-paying job. But for futuristic benefits, any new IIM will do.
