he PGCIM program, started in association with the Center of Indo-European Business Studies, co-financed by the European Union Commission - The ESB Reutlingen Track, has evolved over time with the addition of partner colleges from more countries. The program is more focused on International Management / General Management, whereas PGDM is the traditional MBA program offered by SP Jain Institute where you specialize in one of the following: Finance, Operations, Marketing, or Information Management.
If you choose PGDM, you will learn more about managing the finances, operations, marketing, and IT for a company. In contrast, GMP teaches you how to handle Business Operations of a company in an international setting, which requires you to learn subjects like International Business Law, International Trade and Finance, and International Economics. These subjects talk about how laws in different countries vary and what needs to be taken care of when doing business with a company from a particular country. In addition, subjects like Entrepreneurship and Management Consulting teach you about the factors that nurture a culture of Entrepreneurship at a country level and the art of facilitation for solving business problems.
One significant difference between the two programs is that in PGDM, you make a vast personal network of professionals in India. However, in GMP, you make a vast personal network of professionals across the globe, which is essential for International Business. Your extended network is bigger than you imagine in various ways, such as making a network with the students in the country you go to and your classmates who are your extended network in other countries. If you go to ESB Reutlingen, your primary network is going to be very diverse as Reutlingen University is the most international university in Germany.
I would personally recommend you choose AIIMS Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College. Although there are many reasons that have gotten me to this conclusion, I will list down the core reasons that will help you make up your mind.
Pros-
AIIMS Raipur is a central institute that lays more emphasis on quality education.
You don’t have to sign any bonds
You get to meet a better crowd. This is because AIIMS Raipur constitutes the cream of medical students. Whereas in Pt. JNM, people who are not selected in other colleges usually get admitted.
The infrastructure is equally good in both colleges. But the hostel facilities are horrible in Pt. JNM.
The DKR super specialty hospital is the pride of AIIMS Raipur.
AIIMS Raipur is house to a full-fledged sickle cell research institute
AIIMS Raipur also has an advanced Cardiac Institute and a new regional cancer center building
Cons-
The patient load at Pt.JNM is comparatively less than that at AIIMS Raipur This helps you protect your quality over quantity agenda. This is also a must needed skill for every doctor.
Pt. JNM has an extensive aluminum base whereas AIIMS Raipur lacks in this aspect.
The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is understaffed. Whereas at Pt.JNM the faculty is experienced and also satisfies the MCI criteria.
I hope the points helped you reach a decision.
An MTech from IIT Bombay and an MBA from IIM Bangalore are two very different options. While one focuses on technological aspects the other focuses on managerial aspects. So before even dwelling on the worth of the courses individually you should self-analyze your inclinations and choose one path you are sure about.
Jot down your short and long-term goals. What exactly are you willing to do in your life apart from earning money? Are you more inclined to the corporate world or are the technical elements that attract you more? Having clarity of goals and understanding of what you want from your life is the primary determining factor for choosing your college as well as course.
Objectively, both courses offer a plethora of job prospects and you will gain a lot by choosing any of the two. But making a wise decision here is most important. Choosing an MBA just because it has good career prospects despite having an interest in technology is deluding yourself. You cannot attain success unless you are sincerely passionate about the field you are pursuing.
I think that Udaipur is one of the most underrated IIMs. To elaborate on this point let me enlighten you with some amazing facts about it
In reality IIM Udaipur is an IIM that has an extensive research culture. The rankings are a reflection of how quickly it has climbed the ladder. It is due to its high-quality research that many excellent permanent faculty has become a part of IIM Udaipur. This does not make it the best IIM but still, it is heading toward becoming the best.
Another major attraction of this institute is its impartial nature in every aspect be it placements or admissions. The students are not deceived at any point at all.
The placement statistics are seeing a gradual improvement over the past few years.

KGMU was established as early as 1905 while AIIMS Patna was established recently in 202. So the former seems to be more experienced with better opportunities and senior faculties. Let's look at these institutes one to one for a better understanding.
KGMC is one of the prominent colleges in north India and is preferred to many colleges in Delhi. The students here are called georgians
KGMC
AIIMS Patna
All in all, considering the AIIMS tag and the fast-paced growth the institute has witnessed, AIIMS Patna is the best choice for you.
ISB Hyderabad is known for its lack of specialization in Finance. It’s a common understanding now that even if one is preferring ISB Hyderabad for admission, they know that they should go for anything but Finance. Studying some aspects will give you a deeper insight as to why MBA in Finance from ISB Hyderabad is not recommended.
Faculty: Although the visiting faculty is quite decent, it’s the domestic faculty that has ruined the culture at ISB. They are arrogant, pathetic, and extremely incapable. They insult the students regularly and disturb student-teacher relations.
Placements: The roles offered in Finance were below average like Operations, Sales, and BD roles. Such roles were offered in abundance by the banks or start-ups. However, the superior roles like IB/PE/VC/M&A/FP&A/Equity Research/Credit Rating/Asset Management/TAS were offered scarcely. For instance
So the best roles were offered limitedly while the batch size stood at 900. Most students ended up with unsatisfactory placements. Now you can decide whether or not to join if you are confident to face the placement scenario.
You will find that BIMTECH has an advantage in terms of a better batch size, which leads to better quality placements in multiple sectors and provides a better return on investment compared to IBS Hyderabad. Additionally, placements have been improving and the overall experience is also positive.
Statistics reveal that by the end of November, 75% of the students were placed, with an average salary of approximately INR 8.6 LPA. The highest salary offered was INR 14 LPA and the lowest was INR 6 LPA.
It is to be noted that Birla Institute of Management and Technology (BIMTECH) Greater Noida has completed 100% placement for its PGDM 2021-2023 batch as early as January 2023, well before the batch completion. The placement data for 2023 demonstrates that the average salary has increased by 20% to over INR 11 LPA from INR 9.38 LPA the previous year. The highest salary has also increased to INR 23.43 LPA from INR 18 LPA the previous year.
Renowned companies such as Schneider Electric, Capgemini, and Kantar have come to offer good job profiles to students.
Students from both these institutes will have a bias for their respective colleges. If you ask IIIT Bangalore students, they will recommend you choose their college. The same is the case for NIT Calicut students.
Reach out to one senior from both these colleges who belongs to the CSE department. Ask them about the infrastructure, faculty, curriculum, placements, and other important aspects of their respective department. Don’t ask an NITC student about IIITB, and vice versa. This is because they might have misconceptions about the other institute.
I would recommend IIIT Bangalore. The institute has top-notch faculty, placements, research facilities, campus quality, and hostels. Moreover, it doesn’t follow any reservation criteria for admissions, unlike NITC.
Try to approach seniors from both these colleges, and research a bit on the IIIT Bangalore CSE department. Also, IIIT Bangalore offers iM.Tech in CSE, and not B.Tech.
Among the new AIIMS, AIIMS Bhopal tops the list of libraries as well as other facilities.AIIMS Bhopal has a modern-day library which is the best you can avail yourself of. If you need some strong points to believe this, I have listed them below:
The massive library of AIIMS Bhopal covers 3 floors and has centralized air conditioning.
The entrance to the library has a sensor-installed automatic door.
A fully digitalized scanner has made issuing and returning books a hassle-free process
The library also has desktop computers for browsing the Internet And reading eBooks.
Hardcopies of Novels, Short Stories and Biographies are also Available.
The first floor is for general reading. The second floor is for Medical and Nursing books. It also has a Conference Room for practicing Presentations, Discussion Room, and a Room Dedicated to Research Related Stuff. The third floor constitutes the e-library, Individual Reading area, and Computer Section.
Free Wi-Fi facility is available on all 3 floors
The top floor has Study Pods each with its own LAN Port and 2 Charging Port.
On every floor, there is a washroom and a water cooler
Trust me once you step inside this library, you will not want to go back.
All three colleges fall on the list of top Architecture institutes in India. NIT Calicut and NIT Trichy are known for Architecture as their best programs. Having to know some people studying in these institutes, I can say that though NITs are the best for architecture, Jamia is also at par with them.
Categories | Architecture at NIT Trichy | Architecture at NIT Calicut | Architecture at Jamia Millia Islamia |
Course Fee | 7.00 lakh | 6.78 lakh | 55,750 |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 16 LPA | 12-13 LPA |
Average CTC | 10 LPA | 8 LPA | 6-7 LPA |
Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Trichy or Calicut for pursuing architecture. If not then you can go for Jamia instead, as it is also a good college.
