Is IIT Kharagpur better than IIT Kanpur?

By Sahil Sachdevaon 30 Mar 23

Saugata Nayak

30 Mar 23Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth.

For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here.

Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.

How much does the Work experience, test score, other factors matter for admission in PGDBA course hosted by universities IIT Kgp, IIM C , ISI Kolkata?

By Siripuram Akashon 08 Jul 22

Senjuti Gupta

08 Jul 22studied at IIT Kgp

These colleges don’t reveal the separate weightage break-up for work experience, test scores, and other such factors. For the final shortlist, institutes such as IIT KGP, IIM C, and ISI Kolkata take these factors into consideration along with your performance in the interview. These institutes assign a good volume of weightage to the entrance examination score. So, try to improve your test score as much as possible.

How was your IIM C/IIT Kharagpur/ISI Kolkata PGDBA interview experience?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 30 Mar 23

Aditi Roy

30 Mar 23lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

One of my friends had the absolute delight to appear for the PGDBA interview conducted by a multifaceted panel. He shared his interview experience which might help you a bit.

Before the interview began, he was taken for a Verification Round wherein, every detail of academics scores or other profile-related information was cross-checked on the IIMs format. Once they received an IIM-verified document they were escorted to the interview venue.

The interview room had 3 panels; one from each institute obviously.

They asked for his brief introduction first. On hearing about his interest in Data Analytics, panelists probed him further with questions like

What is Data Analytics
Difference between analytics and analysis
Contemporary Data analytics and ML

They further asked him why he chose Analytics. He told them that the increasing demand for the same in Europe and China made him realize how much India lacks in this aspect and thus he wanted to invest his efforts in Data Analytics.

Next, he was tested on his knowledge of Statistics and Mathematics with questions like

Difference between mean, mode, Media
Skewness
Relationship of mean, mode, and median in a positive Skew graph
Hypothesis Testing
What is Anova

The next panelist took the reins and gave him a problem from SPC quality control. He asked him how do you know that his process in electric bulb making is as per customer Norma and is statistically controlled. My friend was able to answer most of the questions confidently and even solved this problem through charts.

Lastly, he was asked about his extracurricular activities and hobbies. The discussion ended with him asking about GST and the difference between GST and previous tax. Even though he gave a common answer, he managed to convert the interview.

Which one will be a better choice for an MSc in maths, IISc, ISI Kolkata, or IIT KGP?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 01 Aug 22

Deepesh Sinha

01 Aug 22Dual Degree(Btech+Mtech) in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur

ISI Kolkata is the best option for MSc in Maths, followed by IISc. IIT KGP is reputed in the technology domain, but for core science subjects, it’s not a good option. If you are interested to pursue pure Mathematics, choosing ISI is the best option among these. It specializes in the field. You will get better career opportunities and exposure in the field.

Which is a better college, IITKGP or NLSIU Bangalore, in terms of reputation and placements?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 13 Oct 21

Shruti Goyal

13 Oct 21Studied BA.LLB Law, National Law School of India University, Bangalore (2020)

The competition to get into NLSIU is very high due to the merit-based system and they have equally impressive placements. IIT Kharagpur, on the other hand, has a very high number of graduates each year, but they do not get offers as high as NLSIU.

But you should be considering which of these colleges would add more value to you. Even if you choose to do an LLB from IIT Kharagpur, you should know that it is the first premier institute for engineering. Whereas NLSIU is one of the best universities in the country for law.

Do not choose a college just because it has better placement, instead focus on which college is better for your career in law. A degree from NLSIU would always hold a better position than a degree in Law from an IIT.

There are so many people that drop out of college just because they failed to research better about their career path and what was good for them.

Should I go for IMT-G or IIT-K for an MBA in marketing?

By Aarushi Kalraon 01 Aug 22

Anumita Chatterjee

You should choose IMT-G for an MBA in Marketing. It offers better placement. More recruiting companies visit the campus placement of IMT. During the 2022 placement drive, more than 130 recruiters took part in the campus placement. Amazon, Adani Wilmar, Cisco, etc. are among the major recruiters to take part in the placement drive. IMT Ghaziabad placements also offer better salary packages. For Marketing, the average CTC is around INR 1.92 LPA.

I am interested in pursuing PGDBA offered by IIT KGP, IIM C, and ISI Kolkata. Have little to no programming experience. Should I pursue this career?

By Yashmeet Groveron 15 Sept 21

Gargi Devnath

15 Sept 21PGDBA Business Analytics & Data Science, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (2017)

My brother is doing his PGDBA from IIT KGP and he was rather afraid of programming and coding when he started the course. If you're stuck in the same situation, then my only advice is to enroll in the course with an open mind and a desire to learn to program if you don't already know-how.

Coding Experience: There is always a first time of everything. Now there are numerous MOOCs available online that can assist you in taking the initial step. The discipline of analytics (technical side) necessitates solid coding abilities, and therefore if you want to pursue a career in analytics, you should start learning the necessary skills now.

Work Experience: It is not necessary to have prior work experience to enroll in the course. However, relevant analytical experience aids in extracting greater value from the course.

According to your assessment of your interests, you have a preference for fields involving mathematics and statistics. Analytical science is an excellent fit in that regard. I would recommend that you go into MOOCs like Coursera, audacity, and your willingness to learn more about this field. You will obtain a better understanding of the field and would be able to decide if this is a good fit for you or not.
