Former Consultant at KPMG (2019–2021)

Both IMT Ghaziabad and GIM Goa are highly reputable institutes for post-graduation in marketing. Both institutes have a strong track record of producing high-quality graduates who are well-equipped to excel in the marketing field. However, when considering which program to pursue, there are several factors to take into account such as the quality of students passing out of these colleges, placement opportunities and profiles that interest you, and your academic scores.

It is recommended to research and speak with students from both institutes, as well as professionals in the field, to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, faculty, and alumni network of each institute. Additionally, if you have poor academic scores, it might be a good idea to consider a program with fewer students, to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, if you have more work experience, it would be a good idea to look into IMT Ghaziabad as it offers various opportunities for students with more experience.

IMT Ghaziabad is considered to be a tier above GIM Goa in terms of ranking, brand perception, placements, and opportunities. It is ranked in the same tier as the new IIMs, SIBM, NMIMS, XIMB, SCMHRD, and MICA. Additionally, IMT Ghaziabad is known for having a strong focus on marketing as its forte. On the other hand, GIM Goa falls in the category of institutes such as KJ, Fore, BIM, etc. It is important to do your research well and make an informed decision based on your career aspirations and goals.

Which one is better, IIEST Shibpur for IT or NIT Rourkela for CSE?

DS
Davdeep Sengupta Posted On : June 30th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2018)

I have some friends at IIEST Shibpur and NIT Rourkela and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest that you choose the former. Here is why.

  • NIT Rourkela offers placement opportunities. Also, the companies that visit NIT R are more reputed.
  • Very few companies offer pre-placement offers to IIEST as compared to NIT R.
  • Many reputed companies have blacklisted IIEST Shibpur. Job opportunities available at the campus are quite low. Only a few mass recruiters like TCS, Accenture, Infosys visit the placement drive.
  • Also, securing a placement through off-campus placement will be quite challenging. You will have to have impressive coding skills to get recruited through off-campus placements.

Here are the recent placement statistics at the institutes.

Institute

NIT Rourkela

IIEST Shibpur

Highest CTC

42 LPA

39 LPA

Lowest CTC

3.5 LPA

2.53 LPA

Major recruiters

IBM, Samsung, L&T

Microsoft IDC, Aditya Birla Group

Go for IIEST, only if you are interested in doing research further, you can make some good contact there which will be helpful. But from a placement point of view, NIT R will be better for a CSE course.

Studies CSE at NIT Warangal 2021

One of my cousins, being a part of the institute, mentions that NIT Agartala has been amongst the list of most underrated technical institutes all over India. Since it is unfavorably situated in the North East side, which is commonly not the best hub for technical industries.

  • Dividing on the basis of every factor in hand, NIT Agartala is several steps ahead of NIT Mizoram.
  • In fact, NIT Agartala has been recognized better than NIT Mizoram in all possible ways.
  • Faculty, infrastructure, location, placements, college clubs and activities, work environment are better in NIT Agartala.

Categories

CS at NIT Agartala

CS at NIT Mizoram

Course Fee

6.31 lakh

5.43 lakh

Highest CTC

14 LPA

17 LPA

Average CTC

7 LPA

6 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Havells, Tech Mahindra, Vedanta, Capgemini, etc.

IBM, Intellect Design, Infosys, Amdocs, etc.

However, if you drop down to choosing between either of the former institutes, then going for NIT Agartala will unarguably be better than the latter.

Hope this helps answer your query, wish you all the best!

What should I take, IT in IIIT Allahabad (5 years), ECE in IIIT Allahabad (5 years) or ECE in NIT Allahabad?

MT
Meghna Tiwari Posted On : June 1st, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIIT Allahabad (2019)

Among all the options you have mentioned, the one which you should actually consider is ECE in IIIT Allahabad for a duration of 5 years. 

The closing rank of IIIT Allahabad is better than ECE at NIT Allahabad and IT at IIIT Allahabad. ECE is best pursued at MNNIT Allahabad rather than IIIT Allahabad. But then I should also mention that IT is better for IIIT Allahabad than anywhere else. That's a fact.

If you have a knack for coding and it holds your concern, the environment that is accurate for a coding culture can be provided by IIIT Allahabad. 

Therefore, if coding and IT are your forte, a 5-year IT course at IIIT Allahabad is the one for you. The faculty there are experienced and carry specializations that guide you through your way. 

Look at the bigger picture which holds your future and then go for an aim. Choose such a specialization that ensures security to your future as well. 

But then, if you eventually want to settle on ECE, MNNIT is the right place.

Should I choose NIT Calicut CS or BITS Hyderabad EEE?

SG
Sreyasi Gupta Posted On : August 25th, 2021
Studying at NIT Calicut (2022)

In comparison to BITS Hyderabad’s EEE, NIT Calicut’s CSE, the latter would be considered a better option. However, it is entirely up to you whether you want to pursue IT jobs or electrical hardware jobs. 

  • The NIT Calicut CSE batch had a 100% placement record. 
  • They were offered the highest salary package of 40 LPA.
  • The department of computer science is regarded as one of the best in the institute. 
  • Many well reputed companies such as Direct I, Morgan Stanley and over a hundred other multinational corporations (MNCs) come to campus for recruitment. 
  • When it comes to the overall development of a student NIT Calicut provides a plethora of opportunities during the tech fest TATHVA and the cultural fest RAGAM.

Tabulated difference between NIT Calicut CSE or BITS Hyderabad EEE are:

Categories CSE from NIT Calicut EEE from BITS Hyderabad
Total course fee 5.42 lakhs 19.9 lakhs
Top recruiters ABB, Amadeus, Amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini Adobe, Amazon, Axis Bank , Capgemini, CGI Information Systems and Management Consultants, Cisco System
Highest salary package 36 LPA 45 LPA
Average Salary Package 15 LPA 12 LPA

As I am not much familiar with BITS Hyderabad, I am not able to share details about the college. I had some of my friends graduating from NIT Calicut so I was able to share these details. Therefore, I believe CSE from NIT Calicut is the better option. You can interact with ex-students of BITS Hyderabad to get a proper overview of the college.

What should I go for, MAIT, BVP, or AIT CSE?

SB
Sanjukta Bose Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Studied at Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology

Before choosing a college, you should consider things like - Infrastructure, fee structure, faculty profile, placements, coding culture, the branch of interest, extracurricular activities, distance from home, etc.

All these colleges are affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi. AIT, now known as AIACTR, is a government college while MAIT and BVP are private colleges.

If we compare only private colleges, then the preference order will be as the following.

  • BVCOE can be ranked higher in terms of academics.
  • In terms of placements and co-curricular activities, MAIT deserves a higher position.
  • If we consider the coding culture, MSIT can be ranked higher.

Here is a comparison between government colleges and private colleges:

  • In government colleges, the fee is almost half that of private colleges. Hence, it provides relief to people having financial problems.
  • The facilities at government colleges are not at par with private colleges. The facilities are usually of poor quality. In private colleges, even if the college lacks certain facilities, the reforms are quick whereas in government colleges, it takes a lot of time and you might spend half of your college life without availing of such facilities.
  • The quality of teaching is very important to note here. In government colleges, most of the teachers do not teach at par the required quality.

Based on what I heard from my friend I will say the preference order should be - MAIT>BVP>AIT.

Which college should I select if I have two options BVM and IIIT Vadodara? Why?

DR
Deepika Rawat Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara

One of my cousins is a student at IIIT Vadodara. I hope I will be able to help you with this doubt.

BVM is an old college whereas IIIT Vadodara is very new to its comparison. What my cousin says is, if he had a choice between BVM and IIIT Vadodara, he would have definitely chosen BVM over IIIT Vadodara.

IIIT Vadodara provides you with very few resources. There is no permanent campus and it lacks hostel facilities. It would not be surprising to see that it still lacks these two basic infrastructures even after ten years from now.

  • The college runs in a local college in Gandhinagar.
  • The hostel fee depends on the owner, you will have to pay whatever he asks. In addition to that, since the hostels are not so near the college, you will have to pay for transportation fees as well. This is really frustrating as the college makes us pay for its inadequacy.
  • No proper laboratory facilities for subjects such as Physics, BER, IR.

My cousin, who is in his fourth year of graduation, regrets joining IIIT Vadodara. Although the tag of an IIITian may help you in getting a better placement than BVM.

If you are getting an opportunity to opt for BVM, go for it. It is a well-established college and you will get ample resources to utilize for your growth.
