According to the reviews online, both colleges are equally good and have decent placement records. But Christ University overall is much better than St. Joseph’s College of Commerce in Bangalore.

Academics and placements are also better in Christ. They provide enough industrial exposure with seminars, industry visits, internships, etc. where the students are able to gain hands-in experience. It is also one of the most reputed colleges in India.

In my opinion, the best course among these is IPM. Some might even think I am a little biased towards this course but in reality once you learn the advantages of this program you will change your mind.

The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. The subjects of the initial 3 years focus on the foundation and the last 2 years have core subjects that focus on Management.

• The programme is designed by renowned experts.
• IIM-I tag
• Amazing infrastructure
• Excellent faculty 
• Extensive network of alumnis
• Peers from diverse backgrounds (The last 2 years are along with PGP students )
• Great placement opportunities 
• Wide range of co-curricular activities

Cons :

• Programme is new so recruiters and big companies don’t trust it much
• It experiences bias when compared to the old PGP model.
• In case one doesn't like the programme, you can not change the stream again.
• IPM offers very limited scope
• No specialization 
• Freshers are not much preferred in comparison to experienced placements.
• High fees

Still if you are not convinced that IPM is the best alone the courses you mentioned, the order for the other courses is

SSCBS> NMIMS> Christ

The only advantage the other courses have over IPM is that their model is tried and tested and open to lesser risks. Hence the scope is not that much limited.

First of all, I don’t deem it right for you to compare an MBA with Development studies as both are vastly different. Even comparing a General MBA with that in Rural Management is unjustified. The choice of the program depends on what your inclinations and interests are and what you want to do with your degree.

The points below will help you know the right choice for some general preferences.

• Rural Management: If you want to be in the new markets and provide forward linkages to rural enterprises or backward linkages to large-scale industries, then Rural Management is best for you.
• Development Studies: If you are willing to work in the policy sector, with an understanding of the development and public policy, and want to become an expert in project management, development, and implementation works in both rural and urban development, in a human and spatial context, then Development Studies is perfect for you.
• For Money: If money is your primary goal then look for a good MBA college as the ones you mentioned are just average.

It is essential to know what exactly a course offers and what you are after only then you can make an informed decision

If you are considering pursuing a BBA program, you may be interested in knowing that both Christ University and NMIMS, Mumbai are reputable institutions that offer quality education in this field.

Christ University has been consistently ranked as the number one university in India for its BBA program. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of business management, while also emphasizing the development of essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making.

On the other hand, NMIMS is a well-known and reputed university that has established itself as a leading institution in the field of management education. The university's BBA program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in various aspects of business management, with a focus on developing leadership qualities and interpersonal skills.

In terms of choosing between the two, it is important to consider your personal preferences and career goals. If you are looking for an undergraduate program, Christ University could be a good option, considering its reputation and ranking in the field of BBA education. However, if you are considering pursuing a post-graduate program, NMIMS could be a better choice, given its expertise in the field of management education.

It is important to note that both universities have their unique strengths and advantages, and it may be worth exploring the details of each program to make an informed decision. It is always advisable to try for both universities, especially if you have the opportunity, and make your decision based on your interests, career goals, and other relevant factors.

One of my friends studied in Presidency University, Kolkata. According to him, it is one of the oldest and the most reputed educational institutions in the country.

Pursuing English Honours in Presidency Kolkata is a really good thing, as the degree you will receive after graduation is extremely valuable. You can also go for PhD, research or higher studies abroad with this degree. 

Studying in Presidency Kolkata will automatically give you an upper hand. It is the most prestigious university in India. Very few talented students get admission in the English department, thus the competition is huge. Presidency Kolkata should be your first choice for an English Honours degree.

Both Christ University and St. Joseph College Bangalore are reputed. In terms of quality of education, the former is a little ahead. However, economically St. Joseph is a better choice. As the course fees are more affordable. But both will provide you with decent opportunities. Christ offers better foreign exposure in terms of foreign lecturers and professors. 

Christ is also quite strict regarding dress codes and rules on campus. Accommodation around Christ is cheaper compared to St. Joseph. Since St. Joseph is located in central Bangalore. 

You can choose either of these two institutions, according to your convenience

In terms of placements for MBA, NMIMS Mumbai is definitely better than Christ University. NMIMS Mumbai placements are pretty good. According to the placement highlights, students received an average CTC of INR 19 LPA. While the highest CTC offered to the students was INR 24 LPA. For Christ University, the average CTC is around INR 15 LPA. 

NMIMS Mumbai is in a different league of B-School altogether. It is compared to SIBM Pune, DMS IIT Delhi, DMS IITM, etc. 

Jain University is a better choice than Christ University. It is among the top-most university in Bangalore.

• It offers good placement opportunities to students. B.Tech courses have a 100% placement average. Jain University placement 2021 had an average CTC of INR 4.94 LPA. The highest CTC for this academic year was INR 14 LPA. 
• From the 4th semester, Jain University offers industry-oriented training programs along with 120 days of internship.
• The university also offers incubation facilities for entrepreneurs.
• The hostel accommodation is great. There are 2 sharing rooms with all basic amenities available. 
• Jain University Fee structure is also more affordable than Christ University. A B.Tech degree from Jain costs INR 6.60 lakhs. 

So, you should prefer Jain University over Christ University.
