How is the B.Tech in food tech and management at the NIFTEM?

PR

Preity Ray

20 May 21

NIFTEM is one of the best in food technology and entrepreneurship studies. It is a pretty good choice if you are interested in chemistry and biology. 

  • The curriculum is very unique and industry-oriented since the food industry sees a growth of about 15-18% every year. 
  • Every year good companies visit there and recruit students. Companies such as Nestle, ITC, PepsiCo, Dabur, etc. 
  • There is an advantage since it's new the research projects are just starting and there are more funds and a well-backed faculty department and administration. 
  • NIFTEM is a place where you can express yourself through your unique ideas. There are lots of chances by doing some research work on the subject you are interested in.

NIFTEM is regarded as one of the best institutes regarding placements for food tech and management students. The following gives a brief of the same:

Which is better for food technology TNAU or TANUVAS?

NP

Niyati Pathak

14 Sept 21

Both TNAU and TANUVAS are relatively similar institutions because they are state-run universities. There is no major difference between the two universities in terms of their infrastructure and faculty members.

However, when compared on higher levels, then TNAU can be considered slightly better than TANUVAS, regardless of their resemblance in academic profiles. 

Categories Food Technology at TNAU
Course Fee 4.64 lakhs
Course Duration 4 years
Average CTC 10-12 LPA
Recruiting Companies Cadbury, ITC, Yara, Zifo Technologies, etc.

Having said that, it is always a better idea to try for other institutes like CFTRI, IIFPT, or NIFTEM for receiving better exposure, alongside a greater knowledge base.

How is the brand image of an MBA from IIT Kanpur or IIT Roorkee in the industry?

NG

Neha Ghosh

20 Apr 23

The brand image of an MBA from both IIT Roorkee and IIT Kanpur is generally considered to be very strong. These institutions are highly respected in the academic and business communities, and graduates from their MBA programs are often sought after by top employers. They are both well-regarded for their MBA programs. 

One of my cousins completed his MBA from IIT Kanpur and has been working at Amazon for the past two years. He has a diverse colleague pool from B Schools from all over the country like IIM Bombay, IIM Kolkata, ISB, FMS, SP Jain, IIT Bombay IIT KGP, IIT Delhi, MDI, IMT, GIM, NMIMS, etc

From what he told me, employees are not distinguished on the basis of the college they hail from. The employees are judged on the basis of their skills, performance, and contribution to the company. In fact, MBA graduates from IITs are treated equally as MBA graduates from top B schools like IIMs. Unlike the general misconception, MBAs from IITs are given considerable value and companies offer similar roles and packages to IIT students as they offer to students of B Schools. It all depends on the individual and how well he manages to carry the name of his college. IIT Kanpur is a brand name and companies expect its students to do justice to their college and perform well.

Should I take food and agriculture engineering at IIT Kharagpur?

SG

Senjuti Gupta

27 Mar 23

In my opinion, Food and Agriculture Engineering course offered at IIT Kharagpur is indeed a good option for those inclined toward this field. Here are a few pointers as to why choosing this program is worthwhile 

  • Before making the final decision, go through the course structure and check if it aligns with your interests. If you like it then go for it as it offers a plethora of opportunities in the field of food processing and agriculture in India as well as the USA.
  • This is the perfect branch for research enthusiasts as this sector needs a lot of research to be done on increasing food production and its proper storage.
  • Another great aspect is that you are not required to pursue your branch only. You may apply for interdisciplinary courses like minors, micro specialization, etc in other branches of your own choice. This will not restrict your job prospects to the specific branch only. 
  • You are always open to changing your branch at the end of the first year if you feel that the branch you chose is not for you. However, for this certain conditions need to be met like an 8.5+ CGPA. Trust me this is not that difficult all you need is some consistency and determination.
  • This course is a splendid opportunity for those who are planning to pursue MBA in Ahmedabad as it provides a course in Agri-business Management. This program is highly coveted by many and guarantees excellent packages.

All the above opportunities are lucrative and can appeal to anyone who is genuinely interested in the branch. Moreover, IIT Kharagpur placements are also decent for the branch because most non-core companies allow the students of this branch to sit for placements.

Which college is better for food technology, Tanuvas or Kongu Engineering College, Erode?

KT

Kushal Tondon

10 Sept 21

Kongu Engineering College is better than TANUVAS for Food Technology. It is the best in terms of experience, faculty, lab facilities, and environment, among other things. TANUVAS is great for animal research but not for food technology.

Kongu Engineering College has many labs with high-quality equipment, placements with good professors, and many facilities to meet your needs. It has cutting-edge equipment like a Freeze dryer, Microwave, and Infrared dryers, Spray dryers, and HPLC.

Is there any quota for a student having a BTech degree in food technology to apply for the IIM Ahmedabad?

RG

Ritwick Gorai

15 Feb 21

No, as per the recent guidelines, there is no quota as such. Instead, there was a discrete program named PGN-ABM until only the 2015-17 batch.

However, it has now altered to FABM (commonly known as, Food and Agri-business Management), which also is elaborated as the two-year full time residential programme that covers allied sectors like food procession, commodities, etc, found since the next batch.

Even though the eligibility criteria is not disclosed yet, the name suggests clearly that students with a Food and Technology degree will be considered. So, in that case, there is an upside to this, with almost no worries concerning the quota for a student having a BTech degree in food technology to apply for the IIM, Ahmedabad.

Categories

IIM Ahmedabad

Course Fee

10-23 lakh

Highest CTC

40 LPA

Average CTC

14.5 LPA

Placement Percentage

90-95%

In spite of that fact, before even being shortlisted, you will definitely need to perform well in CAT. Nonetheless, it would be even better if the candidate applying solely goes for PGP in ABM which potentially is one of the best Agri business management courses in Asia. It is even a sector-specific programme in case.

As reported, the IIMA PGP ABM program, which is a full time 2 year course suggests that the candidate applying should be having a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in agricultural sciences or agriculture-related disciplines, as per the guidelines point out. 

In fact, PGP ABM students go on to attend the same classes as the PGP which basically is the flagship MBA program together during the ongoing first year. In this manner, there is zero downsizing.
