Which MBA college is better, specifically for MBA-HR, Narsee Monjee (NMIMS) Mumbai or XIMB, Bhuvaneshwar?

DM
Divyang Mittal Posted On : July 7th, 2021
Studied MBA from SVKM's NMIMS

You should definitely choose NMIMS Mumbai. A number of people would be of the opinion that XIMB HR is good but the change in the brand name from XIMB HR to XaHR has adversely affected the placements and compared to this, NMIMS Mumbai HR is growing extremely well in the case of placements.

You can compare the two colleges on the following points:

  • Location: Mumbai is the best city to do your MBA from. The city has a lot to offer in terms of growth in life and you will not be able to learn like this in a place like Bhuvaneshwar. You will also have better live project opportunities, a good corporate interface and this is where NMIMS trumps XIMB.
  • Batch size: NMIMS has a smaller batch size of 60 students as compared to the 120 student batch that XIMB has. NMIMS takes students on the basis of merit whereas XIMB has a few reservations as well.
  • CTC: XIMB may have lower CTC due to higher batch size and NMIMS has a better average.

A lot of the current XIMB HR students will advise you to not go for XIMB HR. It does have lower fees but NMIMS has many more advantages that offset this parameter. Overall, NMIMS has many better profiles to offer as compared to XIMB.

If you are stuck in this dilemma, you should surely go ahead and opt for HR at NMIMS Mumbai.

Should IIMs opened in 2015 (Jammu Sirmaur Vizag Nagpur) be preferred over IMT Ghaziabad?

CG
Chanchal Ghera Posted On : January 19th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2022)

No, I don't think the new IIMs should be preferred over a well-established institute like IMT Ghaziabad. I have seen many instances wherein people forgo offers from new IIMs to join IMT Ghaziabad.

The IIM brand has failed to convince students to join the new IIMs for a diploma. A cursory glance at the low placement figures last year at some of the relatively newer IIMs (Raipur, Rohtak, Ranchi, Kashipur, and Udaipur) when compared to their older counterparts, too, tells its own story.

Another important issue for management aspirants is that even if they are okay with the lack of infrastructure, full-time faculty members, and alumni, they cannot ignore the delayed start to the sessions at the new IIMs. While faculty members think that this time gap in starting operations can be bridged easily, students feel that they might lose out on their summer internships.

Indian business schools NMIMS Hyderabad and JAGSOM (IFIM Bangalore) offer top marketing MBA programs. Your best option depends on your interests, professional ambitions, and other considerations. Consider these variables before choosing:

RS
Rashmi Singh Posted On : January 12th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (2019)

Both programs have their own merits and demerits. Yet I am here to talk about XAHR’s MBA-HRM only. I will further list down some points in favor of my inclination toward this program particularly.

GJ
Gagan Jain Posted On : April 21st, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology Durgapur

CS certainly holds more importance compared to IT in all the reputed engineering institutes irrespective of everything else.

IT at NIT Raipur is a good enough option to choose especially because of its HOD. He is very sincere and too much dedicated to the students and their well-being. Unlike many other departments and colleges of our country, he takes a special interest and personally looks into every student’s growth and academic performance. Starting from the appointment of the teachers for the various subjects to the handling of the detention lists, he does it all.

Moreover, the faculty here at NIT Raipur is overall a young group of teachers, which basically means they are way more enthusiastic and energetic. A couple of teachers from other departments also take a few subjects here at times.

Even the placements are quite well known here and although placements eventually depend on your throughout performance and scores. The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Particulars

NIT Raipur CSE

NIT Durgapur CSE

Average CTC

9.5 LPA

9.09 LPA

Total Offers

Placement Percentage

Which college should I join for CSE, Manipal University Jaipur or BMSIT Bangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

When choosing a college, it's essential to consider factors like placements, location, and extracurricular activities to ensure that you make an informed decision.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you're looking for a college with good placement opportunities:

  • BMSIT in Bangalore is a great option if you're looking for excellent placement opportunities since Bangalore is the IT hub of India.
  • The location of BMSIT, which is near several IT companies, also helps attract more companies for campus placements.

However, while placements are important, they're not the only thing to consider when choosing a college. It's also essential to look at the campus's extracurricular activities and facilities to ensure that you have a well-rounded college experience.

  • If you're interested in campus extracurricular activities, it's always best to visit the campus yourself and check out the facilities and events.

In conclusion, while BMSIT is an excellent option for placement opportunities due to its location, it's important to evaluate all aspects of a college before making a final decision.

Why did you choose PDPU over Nirma University for a B.Tech?

PC
Priyanka Roy Chowdhury Posted On : July 27th, 2021
Studies EEE at Jadavpur University 2023

One of my friends chose PDPU over Nirma University for a B.Tech. Some of the reasons as to why he chose it are as follows,

  1. He was particularly interested in pursuing CSE but because of a slightly lower rank in the ACPC, he was not eligible for the CS branch in Nirma University.
  2. The pattern Nirma University follows is like a school pattern. To add to that, there are a lot of restrictions that the institute commonly follows. For example, YouTube and similar websites are banned on the premise.
  3. The major downside is that you can avail of no hostel accommodation.
  4. As my friend also mentioned, he chose PDPU over Nirma University because the clubs in the institute are not highly functional as well. You might require needing to plan out extremely well only to conduct a small event.

Other reasons why you should choose PDPU,

  1. You can receive good and in fact, high placements.
  2. You will have access to receiving good job offers that are particularly high paying.
  3. The introduction of a high fee structure usually means that the institute has something crucial either in the Resources or in the Infrastructure. Mainly, your study pattern is commonly associated with the resource and atmosphere of the institute, and not entirely upon the professor.
  4. You will have senior guidance.
  5. The president of the institute is Mukesh Ambani, which can give a sharp edge.

Hope this helps you know better, all the best!
