AP
Ankit Pandey Posted On : March 1st, 2023
, M.B.A from Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru (2020)

To understand this better, let’s discuss the pros and cons of both institutes and then draw an opinion.

Pros of SBI PO

  • Fewer fees
  • Growth at a steady pace
  • Certainty of job
  • Experience 

Cons of SBI PO

  • Lower median packages when compared to NMIMS Mumbai
  • Sometimes you might get a rural posting
  • The pace of growth is slower than a corporate job
  • Crowd quality is average

Pros of NMIMS 

  • The packages offered are better in terms of pay and roles 
  • You will experience great exposure here
  • Larger peer group thus a bigger alumni network
  • You get to live in Mumbai, the city of dreams for 2 years.

Cons of NMIMS 

  • You become a slave to the corporate world and have zero time for yourself
  • The fees and accommodation costs are very high 
  • The job security is weaker in comparison to SBI PO

My personal opinion is that if you are in the initial stage of your career, SBI PO is a better option but if you are 3-4 years into your career and are looking for an MBA to open more opportunities, then NMIMS is for you.

Which is better between IMI Delhi and IIM Jammu compared with respect to various parameters?

RN
Rajat Nagpal Posted On : January 11th, 2023
PGDM in Banking and Financial Services, International Management Institute (Graduated 2020)

You must select the parameters; in general, people may believe that IMI Delhi is a better option due to its location and the opportunities it offers. On the contrary, you may come across individuals who would prefer to have the IIM designation regardless of the cost.

So, if you prefer the IIM label above all else, IIM Jammu is the place for you. Nonetheless, given the fact that it is an IIM, there is no doubt about academics.

However, because it is located in the heart of the city, IMI Delhi has established its own legacy over the past 41 years. So, if you can overlook the IIM brand name in favor of the multitude of opportunities to transform your personality, expand your understanding, and have a good time in terms of social and campus life, IMI Delhi is the place for you.

Which is better IIM Lucknow or IIM Calcutta for marketing? How much do marketing companies care about academics? Does Workex care about academics? What is the package difference?

GT
Gaurav Taneja Posted On : December 20th, 2022
Studied at IIM Lucknow

Despite everything, IIM Calcutta is a much better business school overall than IIM Lucknow, regardless of the field. However, if you do not receive an offer from Calcutta, you may consider Lucknow. Some companies may not shortlist you because there will be candidates with far superior academic credentials. However, this is not a sufficient reason to avoid attending an IIM. You will have numerous opportunities to enhance your CV within the b-school through academic performance, winning b-school competitions (which often leads to a direct PPI), participating in PORs and other extracurricular activities, live projects, and so on.

Regardless of your prior academic performance, you will almost certainly be better off with an MBA from IIM Calcutta or Lucknow than without one, assuming you don't waste the two years in b-school doing nothing.

Is there any difference in placements offered by CUCEK and SOE CUSAT?

SV
Sarita Verma Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
Studied at Cochin University Of Science and Technology

A few of my friends are studying in both colleges and there is absolutely no difference – not even a minute one between the two colleges. Placements are the same and in fact, more students are also getting placed from CUCEK as per what recent surveys have concluded. Additionally, the placement cell for both these colleges is the same and is situated on the main campus.

Probably the only thing that might cause a little bit of hindrance is travel. You might have to travel to the SOE campus every time a company is visiting for hiring or placing students. You will have to go to Ernakulam from Alleppy which is a good 2-hour drive by road. This might pose as a minor set back but the college arranges for this transport so eventually, you will not have any issues.

Coming to placements at CUSAT, about 60 different companies visit the campus for the recruitment drive. So, you will have a number of options to look forward to when you begin applying. As of 2020, about 300 offers were made in the college with the highest CTC of INR 15 LPA and an average CTC of INR 4.7 LPA. The number of placements being offered has increased over the past three years.

Some of the major companies that recruit students include Cisco, TCS, L&T, Tata Steel, and Vedanta.

If placement is your primary concern at CUCEK or CUSAT, you do not need to be worried. You will be a student of a really good university so your future will definitely be bright.

SB
Sangita Bhattacharjee Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati (2019)

The choice depends upon your area of interest and the subjects that you enjoy studying. If you are inclined towards hardware and communication, ECE is the perfect fit for you. But if you like dealing with software, go with CSE. Both fields have ample growth opportunities.

Which college is better- BIT Sindri or IIIT Bhuwaneshwar?

AK
Aniket Khanna Posted On : May 7th, 2021
Studied Mechanical Engineering at Birsa Institute of Technology, Sindri (2016-20)

You should not make a decision based on the placement records of any institute. It should come last on the criteria list. It is a known fact that no college can guarantee you placement. Your decision should be based on your ultimate aim. If coding is your thing, go for IT, ECE, CS, or if you feel that you might someday work at PSUs, go for the core branch. 

Comparative Analysis

  • Once you decide on a college and realize that core is your thing, you can study ESE and prepare for GATE at BIT Sindri. 
  • It would be wrong to state that it doesn't provide an authentic code environment. But it doesn't match the level of IIIT Bhubaneswar. 
  • I have friends who study CS and IT there. They have told me that labs are not good and the college is devoid of a wifi connection too.
  • Talk about IIIT Bhubaneswar or BIT Sindri, both the institutes fall under the State Government. 
  • Plus, getting into IIIT Bhubaneswar can push you to witness national-level competition as you'd be required to crack the JEE Mains to get into it. 
  • The quality of the faculty has become better, hostels are providing better facilities and the old buildings have been renovated into new hostels. 

The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Particulars

BIT Sindri

IIIT Bhubaneswar

10.34 LPA

3.6 LPA

You should choose the college that provides more and better opportunities so that it becomes easy for you ahead. BIT Sindri has improved its placement opportunities over the years, however, if you want an IIT tag, then choose IIIT Bhubaneswar.

Which is better, NIT Silchar's electrical or NIT Surathkal's metallurgy?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 31st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends studied in NIT Silchar and also has friends in NIT Hamirpur. I asked him the same question and he claimed NIT Hamirpur to be a better choice. 

Stating reasons for the same he said:

  • NIT Hamirpur campus is extremely beautiful and well-equipped with modern facilities.
  • The level of academics is better at NIT Hamirpur than at NIT Silchar.
  • The faculty pool of NIT Harimpirbis more experienced and approachable.

The major issue that NIT Silchar faces is the connectivity between cities. As a result, many recruiters are interested in coming here affecting the placement scenario and crowd quality largely. NIT Hamirpur on the other hand is located close to Delhibso the exposure r and opportunities are better.

Which is better CSJM University or Lucknow University?

SP
Shardul Pandit Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology,Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology,Ghaziabad (2020)

It is determined by the degree you intend to pursue and your objectives in that regard.

Both colleges are well-known in their respective fields, and your choice will be depending on your requirements. Though, if you want to acquire a degree as a regular student, I would recommend Lucknow University, and if you want to get a correspondence degree, I would recommend CSJM University.

Lucknow University has made 75 percent attendance mandatory for UG degrees, which is a wonderful step, but it has also proven to be a bane for working students. So, if you are working, I recommend Kanpur University, otherwise, go for Lucknow University. It also offers decent placement opportunities. The average CTC offered at the institute is 4 LPA. 

Lucknow University, while not the finest, but definitely superior to CSJM University.

What is the better option between IIIT Vadodara and MIT, Manipal?

AM
Akshat Mehta Posted On : June 19th, 2021
CSE, IIIT Vadodara, 2021

If you want to either choose between CSE or IT, then going for IIIT Vadodara will be a better option. IIIT Vadodara is a government-run institute, while MIT Manipal is a private university.

  • However, IIIT Vadodara cannot provide you with the same facilities as MIT Manipal can, since it is a newly developed institute and is at present running on a temporary campus. Yet, it has shown noticeable changes in its development. The curriculum precisely concentrates on subjects that are related to either CSE or IT.
  • Now, when talking about the fee structure of each institute, MIT Manipal has almost double the fees as opposed to IIIT Vadodara, since it is a private university.
  • Moreover, the average package at IIIT Vadodara has also seen a potential hike to around 6.5 Lacs in the year 2019 from 4 Lacs in the year 2017. It was its first placement session. However, the average package at MIT Manipal is nearly about 5.5 to 6 Lacs.

Here is a brief highlight of both of the institutes according to the 2020 placement reports.
