Should I pursue BBA from NSUT, top colleges of IP, BR Ambedkar DU, or Symbiosis Pune?/
Greetings, Anvesha.
It is a personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
While deciding these things you should consider:
- Your career plans
- Affordability
- Exposure and the lack of it
- Utility of the degree
Frankly speaking, SYMBIOSIS Pune is the best option out of all that you have mentioned not just because of its reputation but also because it offers pretty decent exposure levels for a good business school experience.
Cons - Symbiosis is expensive (Rs. 3 lacs for the first year and then other additional costs of living) while NSUT is Rs. 3 lacs for whole course of three years)
1) Look at it this way, if you plan on taking up a job right after completing BBA then you should look at colleges as a stepping stone of opportunities, i.e. you should not think about affordability but instead think about what that college will offer you for your money - Symbi Pune in that regard is great since placements are good and college life if full of different experiences, meeting smart people from all walks of life, living in a fast city such as Pune, etc.
Now top colleges of IPU also offer a chance to live in a big city like Delhi, exposure and smart people but it lacks in placements for BBA students.
2) If you plan on going for MBA or any other competitive exams afterwards then you should think in terms of time management and money. What I mean by that is you should go for a college where you don't spend a lot of money and college activities don't take up so much time that you can't prepare for CAT or any other exams (Symbi Pune will be a serious and engaging experience where your college life will take up a lot of your time)
So, in a nut shell.
- Symbiosis Pune - Good exposure, Good placements but expensive and time consuming 3 years
- IPU top colleges - Good exposure, average placements, not that time consuming since the career stakes aren't that high over there
- NSUT - Average exposure, average placements, affordable fees.
take some time and decide what you want to do after BBA then you may be able to make an informed and reasonable decision, don't rush it.
best of luck, Good day!
Listen, anyone can get a college abroad (in the US or UK, etc) but to get a good college you need to work on your under graduation life.
So if you want to pursue MBA from abroad some time later then you need to keep in mind these basic requirements:
1) universities abroad value versatility, exposure, academic performance and extra curricular achievements.
2) doing your under graduation from a premier university in India will definitely help you in building a great CV/Resume
3) you will have to be exceptionally well in your academics (at least top 10 in your batch as you graduate) to get great colleges and also apply for scholarships.
4) use your time in college as a way to learn new and exciting skills, like if you are fond of music then do the western music gradation exams (7 year courses). if you are fond of public speaking then go for national level debates and if you win it will look great on your CV (these are just examples, you can do many things apart from studies to distinguish yourself as a student)
5) be exceptionally good in English - spoken as well as written
6) Do social service or volunteer work whenever you get a chance, apply for internships with NGOs, etc.
7) get a great score (320+ out of 340) in GRE exam if you want to apply for colleges in the US, as for UK and other places - they don't have a direct exam so people apply directly to a university of choice with their CV and essay.
these tips are from the top of my head and the content is not exhaustive at all, there are numerous ways to stand out from a crowd and get a seat at a really great university abroad.
Bottom line is- whatever you study right now in India - make the best of it, score high in college and participate in all kinds of activities that will enhance your perspective - if you do at least so much then your chances of getting into one of the IVY league universities would get higher than an average person applying.
best of luck and keep hustling!
