How will the presence of IIM Trichy and BIM affect the MBA students of DoMS NIT Trichy during the placement season?

The MBA students of DoMS NIT Trichy will not be significantly affected by the presence of IIM Trichy during the placement season. NIT Trichy is a well-known technical institute and around 60% of the companies that come for Techies also come for NIT Trichy. This means that there is a set of companies that are already open to hiring NIT Trichy students. In the past few years, more and more companies have opened up placements for DoMS, increasing the percentage placement conversion from these companies. The Training and Placement Committee also works to bring in more companies that align with the interests of the students. Additionally, there are alumni connections that can be utilized. There may be some challenges with companies based in Chennai or Bangalore coming from BIM, but IIM Trichy has a different set of companies and therefore will not greatly impact NIT Trichy in that regard.

Which place is better for an MBA, NIT Trichy or BHU?

Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that BHU is a better university than NIT Trichy. NIT Trichy considers the CAT score to select the candidates. Here, the students from different states enjoy the 50% quota for MBA admission. NITs are engineering-oriented and you might have less exposure in terms of management studies. IM (FMS) Banaras Hindu University also enrolls students with a good CAT score. Combined merit is formed for the students of the MBA and MBA (IB) program. The merit includes:- Written Test (CAT Conducted by IIM) - 50% Academic Records - 20% Group Discussion and Interview (Conducted by FMS BHU) - 30% BHU’s major recruiters include -Infosys, Wipro, Tata Consultancy, Federal Bank, Ansal API, IDBI Bank, Pantaloons, etc. Categories MBA at NIT Trichy MBA at BHU Course Fee 2.89 lakhs 1.5 lakhs Highest CTC 12 LPA 12-16 LPA Average CTC 8 LPA 8-10 LPA Recruiting Companies HSBC, American Express, ITC, Asian Paints, etc. Aditya Birla, Wipro, IDBI Bank, Reliance, etc. A total number of 38 companies visited and a total of 119 students were placed from campus.

Review of Nit trichy Dept of management studies

I had not opted for any loan. If required it should be easy to get a loan as this is a central government funded institute and the fee structure is low and securing an admission itself is not that easy.
