It is important to think before applying to institutes like these as it has been evident by many students like colleges such as GL Bajaj in Greater Noida promises about various facilities, infrastructure and placements which they ultimately fail to provide. It has also been seen that Tier1 colleges fail to get all of their students placed in campus placement drives. You can take another year for the preparation if they wish in order to get better colleges. and give another trial at CAT. On the other hand, if you still want to choose between the two and do not want to prepare for another year, then you can go for IBMR in Gurgaon due to the following reasons: The institute has a tie up with various Institutes to provide excellent education to the students of IBMR. The fee structure is also reasonable in comparison with other institutions. The Placement records are also good in IBMR. Categories IBMR Gurgaon Highest CTC offered INR 18.5 LPA Average CTC offered INR 8 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, IBM, ITC, Wipro, etc. In a city like Gurgaon, you will be able to find off campus placement if you don’t like or don’t receive the on campus placements; there are other scopes too.

Having friends at both the institutions, I can say that these are ‘decent ‘colleges. Selecting a stream is more important. I believe you should do some research on your own to obtain the exact picture of now. You can have a better option, of taking admission in Tier I colleges or obtaining a higher CAT score, if possible attempt MAT, with a target of above 95. In between these institutes, it is suggested that you choose the Jaipuria Institute of Management. It offers a dual specialization MBA program, approved by AICTE, Ministry of HRD (Govt. of India), and affiliated to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow. Jaipuria Ghaziabad has its unique teaching method. They train students based on current market trends and requirements. JIM Ghaziabad prepares them for the corporate world. Internships, Live Projects, Seminars, Industry Visits are conducted. Categories Jaipuria Ghaziabad GL Bajaj Course Fee 7.5 lakh 1.19 lakh Highest CTC 10-20 LPA 16 LPA Average CTC 5-6 LPA 3.5 LPA Recruiting Companies JP Morgan, TCS, Capgemini, IBM, etc. Google, Byju’s, Jaro Education, Citi, etc. There are certain things you need to consider before applying like your stream of choice, do a thorough alumni check, the salary package offered, etc.

A few of my friends graduated from Sharda University and G. L. Bajaj. Here is some information about these universities that might help you know about them a bit better. Both the colleges are good but there are some pros and cons. If you are looking for a life similar to school-life where you have to wear uniforms and attend classes till 5 'O'clock then you can choose G.L Bajaj. The curriculum is strict at GL Bajaj whereas, in Sharda University, the lifestyle is more lenient.  At Sharda more opportunities are provided to those who have the potential or interest. A number of events and extracurricular activities are organized. The best faculties from IIT’s and other fields.  Particulars Sharda University G. L. Bajaj Total fees 6.85 Lakhs – 7.71 Lakhs 4.36 Lakhs – 10.45 Lakhs Placement percent 50%  95% Highest CTC INR 18 LPA INR 31 LPA Average CTC INR 4 LPA INR 3.5 LPA It is suggested that you go for Sharda University as it is much better than G. L. Bajaj. However, ultimately it is your decision. .

Having talked to multiple students studying in these colleges and based on the interaction I had with them here are some of the insights that might be useful to you: If you want to pursue MBA, go with GJ Bajaj of Management and Research due to location advantage and slightly better branding. All the mentioned colleges are tier 3 colleges so if you want to take admission in any other course, you can go with any of them. Particulars GL Bajaj of Management and Research (Greater Noida) PIBM (Pune) Birla Global University (Bhubaneswar) Placement Rate 85% 99% 97% Highest Package Offered 32 LPA 17 LPA 10.2 LPA Average Package Offered 4.8 LPA 6.5 LPA 7.8 LPA Top Recruiters ICICI Bank, Axis bank, HDFC bank, TCI, Paytm, BATA, OYO, etc Deloitte, Futurism, Elf, XL Dynamics, IFFCO TOKIO, Hettich, S&P Global, etc. TVS, Infosys, Kotak, ITC, HDFC, SBI, Extramarks, etc. You need to introspect and work hard for the MBA entrances this year and aim to get into the top or at least good mid rung institutes. That being said, if you have to take admission this year, no matter what, I would suggest going for GL Bajaj of Management and Research.

The choice of UPTU college for a B.Tech CS/IT course depends entirely on your priorities and preferences. Consider factors such as your preferred location, cost of living, city culture, security, placement opportunities, and most importantly, the quality of education offered by the college. While the quality of education may be a factor to consider, remember that ultimately, your success in college will depend on your own dedication and effort. The atmosphere and culture of a college can have an impact, but it is not the only determining factor in making a college the "best" choice for you. Based on these considerations, we recommend that you consider IMS Engineering College as your first choice, followed by NIET, and lastly G.L Bajaj.
