Alliance University does not provide Distance- learning or any course as the courses are full-time and require students’ attention. Alliance University is the best university for B-school with the best management courses in South India and the alliance's flagship program is also MBA with very good faculties and placements offers. As much as I know Distance learning will not help you, because what a student can learn and interact with within a physical classroom, that quality can’t be there in E-learning or distance learning. Alliance University offers 5 specializations in the field of MBA which are, Marketing, Finance, HRM, OM, and International Business. Every specialization has its own merits including which alliance provides field visits, company visits, interactive classroom sessions, debating, and presentation skills, alliance emphasizes all these aspects of a student for the complete growth of a student.

Now, if we will talk about IGNOU, this college offers a distance learning MBA and four post-graduate diploma courses under its school of management.

Here is the list of management courses offered by IGNOU

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

• Post-Graduate Diploma in Financial Management (PGDFM)
• Post-Graduate Diploma in Marketing Management (PGDMM)
• Post-Graduate Diploma in Operations Management (PGDOM)
• Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management (PGDHRM)
• Post-Graduate Diploma in Financial Markets Practice (PGDFMP)

I will suggest you go with Alliance university because the quality alliance provides with best faculties, which no college can provide, and this is the statement that the students of alliance university only say. IGNOU is no doubt a reputed and excellent college but chooses full-time learning over distance learning, as you’ll get many new experiences and learning also. All the best!

One of my cousins is a recent graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) and mentions that the department of Civil engineering is among the oldest departments of all. Here are some factors that you should know about it.

• Alongside the newer faculty members, who are both professional and easy-going, the institute also has old faculty members who are well experienced as well. However, at times, they can be quite strict too.
• The present HOD of civil engineering is moreover admirable as well. My cousin states the same because he sat for one of his classes.
• He mentions that the HOD is rather supportive and dynamic. He is always willing to be of help if any student needs it for their further studies.
• Professors of this department keep maintaining their decorum by all means. But, the placement stats of civil engineering has unfortunately not been great in most of the institutes nonetheless.

Since there is not enough information about UPES Dehradun, you can always check the highlights, curriculum, faculty, and other factors on their main homepage. Regardless of it, you can enroll in MIT because there are several projects to take hold of as well.

Most of the students tend to prefer PUMBA. Also according to some of my friends studying there, it is a really good institute for pursuing MBA. Some things that make it unique from other institutes include -

• The fee is lower at PUMBA and hence, higher ROI.
• The average package offered at PUMBA is around INR 7.5 to 8 LPA which is similar to that of SIES.
• SIES is undoubtedly good for marketing, but PUMBA steals the show because of factors such as university departments and administration.
• PUMBA is a completely student-driven college. All the events held on the campus are organized and managed by students.
• Apart from academics, students at PUMBA also get trained in managing public relations, pitching, prospecting, etc.
• IIM A alumni are faculty at PUMBA for marketing management.
• SIES does not have its own hostel whereas PUMBA provides hostel facilities. The charges are very low which is Rs.4500 per year.

You should opt for SIES only if you want to pursue PGDM because PUMBA does not offer PGDM. Otherwise, go for PUMBA.

Well, It totally depends on the course that you take in the respective Universities. As far as MBA goes, Operations, Marketing, Systems, or any other stream of management that is related to Engineering are better off in College of Engineering, Guindy and HR, Marketing, and streams related to arts are at their best in the University of Madras.

Talking in terms of placements both colleges are equal. In terms of tuition fees, the College of Engineering, Guindy is quite cheap. Whereas you will get better exposure at Madras Institute of Technology.

Here is a brief outline of both colleges.

So, choose according to your convenience.

Both EXTC in KJ Somaiya and IT in Vivekanand are very good courses to pursue, but let's look at some factors before making a decision.

Location :

• The place where KJ Somaiya is located is a very good area.
• There are two nearby railway stations Tilaknagar and Vidyavihar. So transportation is easier.
• But Vivekanand is far away from Chembur and Kurla and it will take you much time to reach the college unless you get a monorail, but it is not available every time.
• So, here KJ Somaiya will be a better choice.

Autonomous :

• Autonomous universities provide the opportunity of taking up an internship or a full time job even before completing your 8th semester.

Campus :

• The campus of KJ Somaiya is very beautiful and big in area with all the modern facilities.
• They also encourage extracurricular activities.

Placements :

• The placement of both the colleges are very good.
• But students from EXTC in KJ Somaiya will have an advantage as they will be eligible to sit for both IT companies as well as core EXTC companies.

Hence, choosing EXTC in KJ Somaiya will be a better choice as its campus is very beautiful with all the facilities and you will also get better placement opportunities in this college.

Having friends studying in both the colleges, It is suggested that you go for NIT Jamshedpur metallurgy would prove to be a better option because the placement records of the college are pretty good.

• More than 78-80% of students get recruited every year from this college and get offers from the core and non-core companies.
• It has also had the locational advantage of being situated in the city of Tata’s and companies like Tata Steel, Tata Tinplate, Tata Motors, and Tata metals recruit.
• The laboratories and campus infrastructure of the college are extremely good.
• IIEST has pretty good campus and has really great faculty members as well.
• For placement core companies like IOSL, Vedanta, etc visits the college’s campus for recruitment.
• Many consultancies and finance firms also recruit students from the metallurgy department of this college.

Both colleges are good in their own ways. They can also be considered a good option for your education only after good research is being made in regard to your requirements. Ultimately it is your choice, but due to its locational advantage, I will suggest you go for NIT Jamshedpur.
