Ques

Is Ashoka University a better choice than other private universities such as Narsee Monjee and Symbiosis?

● Top Answer By Roopal Verma on 01 Jul 21

Ans

Ashoka University is a far better choice than institutes like NMIMS and Symbiosis. Yes, it's a fact Ashoka has short existence when compared with the other two institutes. Ashoka University is entirely on a charitable drive by the group of big reputed entrepreneurs who motivate to make a radical change in the history of the Indian college education scenario. It focuses on better education rather than money-making students. Symbiosis and others can not match Ashoka's record as you can see its alumni are in top companies. You will get good opportunities and exposure in Ashoka than in other institutes. Co-curricular activities and sports are the best part of the student in the institute, as you see in brochures on the website are the same.

Ques

Between Ashoka University and Krea University which is a better option for UG in Liberal Arts?

● Top Answer By Chinmaye Veluthoor on 14 Oct 21

Ans

Krea University is a newly established university, students tend to have their doubts while opting for it. Ashoka University on the other hand is a well-known esteemed university and is a brand tag in itself resulting in a huge number of aspirants. Academics: The students of Ashoka University have been the aces for a long time. The Social Science department (Economics, Political Science, History, and Sociology) is often compared to Delhi University’s Social Science department which is a huge achievement. Their Computer Science course is exceptional and has been approved by the University of Pennsylvania’s CiS. The environment at Ashoka is lively and competitive. Faculty: The academics in both the universities are similar but Ashoka University has better and higher qualified faculty with numerous research papers to be credited for. They have full-time professors who are helpful and cooperative. Location: The distance of the university from your residence is a huge determining factor. Krea University is two and a half hours away from Chennai City and Ashoka University on the other hand is over an hour from Delhi. It is a known fact that Delhi has better transport facilities therefore traveling and transport facilities are not much of an issue. Krea University is located in a remote place and the only transportation available is by bus from Chennai. Students who would choose comfort over education would rather strike out this option. Financial aid: The financial aid provided in both universities is limited as it depends on fundings and financial constraints. It is suggested to not rely on it much as it would not be sufficient. Krea University is undoubtedly a rising to the top university and would be filled with challenges if you opt for it. For now, Ashoka University seems to suit better for any student.

Ques

Which university do you recommend for liberal arts the established Ashoka University or the new Krea University and why?

● Top Answer By Shyam Singh on 25 Oct 21

Ans

Ashoka University is established in a better manner with its campus, facilities, and members of faculty. Here are some of the facts about both Ashoka and Krea. The hostel, library, students, and, most importantly, the great instructors comprise Ashoka. Particularly the history and literary departments of the University have many great facilities to offer to the students. However, Krea follows a similar pattern for the departments of liberal arts. The current hostels and classrooms of the university are excellent. Some of my friends were in the first batch of the university and their experience was pretty good. The members of the faculty and administrators hired thus far are good. I would suggest that you should take into account the location of both these universities before making your decision.

Ques

How are online classes in Krea and Ashoka University?

● Top Answer By Akshara Singh on 18 Oct 21

Ans

With the hit of COVID-19 all over the world, things were just getting worse. Ashoka University did a splendid job in the area and flourished in certain aspects. Smooth transition - The students were in the middle of their mid-term break when COVID-19 hit. So, naturally, the break got extended for a week and then the classes were supposed to begin online for the next 3 weeks of the Spring semester. It was the sheer hard work of the admin team of the University that ensured that students face no trouble when starting with the online classes. Professors’ efforts - The professors put in great efforts to resemble teaching like the offline one even when they did not have enough time to get used to the method. It got easier as the recordings were available so students did not miss out on anything. Exams - With the education system shifting online, taking unfair advantage in exams became common. In humanities, students are known to plagiarize their answers and in courses like engineering, students collaborate and cheating becomes quite easier. So, Ashoka University ensured doing its best in every aspect and has succeeded in doing so. It is not easy to change the way of things overnight. Offline teaching has been a traditional method of teaching. It was challenging for so many institutes in India to change their path from offline to online.

Ques

Between Ashoka University and Krea University, which is a better option for UG in Liberal Arts?

● Top Answer By Auyush Singh on 14 Aug 20

Ans

The major differentiating factor between the two is that while Ashoka is a reputed university that has made a name for itself Krea University is comparatively new to people and has yet to achieve that place. Certain points that one can consider while comparing the above two institutes are: FACULTY: Apparently since Ashoka University is much older and more reputed than Krea University it provides elite professors to its students. Although the faculty at Krea is also amazing it still lacks when compared to that of Ashoka’s. FEE STRUCTURE: Apparently, Ashoka university is a bit more expensive than Krea University. Although both universities have provisions for education loans, financial aid etc. (refer to college brochure for details). Also, the details of fee structure for the mentioned course in respective colleges is as follows: INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE: Interacting people with different backgrounds is one of the essential components of Liberal Arts. Ashoka’s Summer Abroad/Semester Abroad programs provide students with these opportunities. This is because they also have tie-ups with some of the best institutes of the world including University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, University of California-Berkeley etc. which also provides their students to attend guest lectures from the professors of best universities of the world. However, Krea University has also partnered with some elite international organisations (i.e. the Academic Internship Council (AIC), University College Cork (UCC), Australia Council for the Arts and University of Wellington (UoW) New Zealand India Research Institute (NZIRI)). And the number is yet to increase with time. STUDENT GROUP AND PLACEMENTS: Since Ashoka has established a name for itself it attracts mostly the best students of the country due to its past records and reputation which is a feat that Krea University will take some time to achieve since it is a newly established university (for UG in liberal arts). Ashoka University maintains a decent track record of placements including recruiters such as RBL BANK, Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG), Microsoft Research (SGO), McKinsey & Co, Ernst & Young (EY), Bloomberg Quint, Mu Sigma, Boston Consulting Group etc. with average package offers ranging from 7-9 LPA. Whereas since the first batch of liberal arts at Krea was incepted in the year 2018 the placements scenario is yet to unfold.

Ques

Which is a better college, OP Jindal vs Ashoka University for economics ?

● Top Answer By Rahul Sinha on 19 Feb 22

Ans

OP Jindal and Ashoka University both offer decent bachelor's programs in Economics. But the syllabus and education approach of the programs are quite different. The course curriculum of OP Jindal has a balanced practical and theoretical approach. While the syllabus followed at Ashoka is more theory-oriented. OP Jindal has a wide range of electives that you can choose from. Ashoka has less number of electives for their Economics course. 2 internships are mandatory at OP Jindal. You will get good exposure to the corporate world through these internships. At Ashoka, internships are not compulsory. Overall, OP Jindal will be a better option for pursuing a UG degree in Economics.
