One of my friends pursued PGDM Marketing from IMT Ghaziabad. Here is her review. 

• IMT Ghaziabad is known for its Marketing specialization. You will have great opportunities to explore your interests in different domains of Marketing. The faculty base is highly experienced. The course curriculum includes a wide range of case studies, projects, and various events. 
• The administration has taken a lot of initiative to regain past glory. One such initiative was reducing the batch intake to 450 for the 2021 academic year.
• IMT has also recently started the PGDM BFS program in collaboration with Vlerick Business School, Belgium. The program is delivered by Vlerick faculties along with IMT faculties. This program offers international exposure in different domains of Finance. 
• The placement statistics of IMT had an upward slope in recent years. An average CTC of 12.4 LPA was offered during the 2021 placement drive.
• The campus has a student-driven culture. There are various clubs and committees that you can take part in. 

If you work hard, you will have good opportunities and exposure at IMT Ghaziabad.

It is advised that you do not consider whether the IGNOU certificate is valuable in terms of getting a job. However, the acquired knowledge and skills will be precious to you. Time management, submitting assignments on time, and sitting for exams at the end are all essential requirements.

The institute's name serves only as an icebreaker at first; once hired, there is no turning back. Put that knowledge to use at work.

Most importantly, it is a GOVERNMENT OF INDIA recognized certificate that is accepted almost everywhere in the world.

So, if you want to work while studying or can't afford a regular course, IGNOU is far superior to good.

Lovely Professional University is pretty good in all aspects such as academics, infrastructure, faculty, ranking, etc. 

• LPU has a brilliant faculty base. Most of the faculty members are alumni of IITs, IIMs, NITs, etc. 
• The institute has a good placement record. LPU placements 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 42 LPA. Major MNCs like Godrej Consumer, CEAT, Allianz, Hindustan Unilever, etc. visit the campus placement. 
• LPU has a good ecosystem for entrepreneurship as well. If you have a good idea, you can get seed funding from the institute. 
• All basic amenities are available on campus. You won’t need to go out to get anything. The campus has a central library, a shopping mall, indoor sports facilities, public and private sector banks, ATMs, etc. 

LPU is one of the best private universities in the country. You can benefit a lot from attending the institute. 

One of my friends attended Shiv Nadar University. She loved the time she spend on campus. 

Academics: 

The course curriculum and grading system are designed in such a way that, you won’t be able to slack off. The campus seniors have taken a great initiative to decrease the academic load of juniors through the LASC program. Through this program, seniors teach important topics, resolve doubts and also help juniors plan out preparation strategies for examinations.

Ranking: 

Shiv Nadar University ranking - It was ranked 84 by NIRF 2021. 

Extra-Curricular: 

As a student of SNU, you will get to take part in seminars, conferences and meet a lot of delegates. There are also many club activities. You should take part in at least one club during your time on campus. 

SNU college fest, BREEZE gets better with each coming year. Friendly intercollege competitions and events are organized by the clubs of SNU. 

Hostels: 

There are ac and non-ac hostel accommodations. Each hostel has proper housekeeping and trash disposal facilities. Hostels also have laundry services. There are round-the-clock first-aid and medical assistance provided.

Food offered at SNU is good. You can also order in from eateries outside.

Placements: 

SNU has a good placement record. During the 2021 placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered was INR 7.82 LPA and INR 24 LPA. 

Overall, you can expect to have a good experience at SNU. 

Amrita University offers good learning opportunities. It also has a decent placement record. According to the highlights of Amrita University Placements 2021, almost 95% of students got placement offers. The highest CTC offered was 56.95 LPA. 

But the coursework is demanding. You are required to do projects each semester. So, you need to keep up with the coursework, otherwise, you can easily fall behind.

Here is a brief review of Graphic Era University. 

• The college infrastructure is average. The sports facilities are not good.
• The faculties have good educational backgrounds. But most of the faculty members don’t put in the required effort.
• The hostel accommodation is decent. The food offered at the mess is decent.
• The CS department has good placement records. Around 80% of students get placed from this branch. The average CTC offered at the institute is INR 5 LPA. But for other branches, placement chances are less than 20%.
• Graphic Era charges huge fees. A BTech degree costs around INR INR 13.32 Lakhs.

Overall, Graphic Era University is average at best.  

Jain University isn’t a good option for pursuing a degree. The management isn’t cooperative. Faculty members are not experienced. Most faculty members have just completed their graduation and don’t have any experience at all. They also charge huge course fees. A B.Tech degree from Jain will cost around INR 6.6 lakhs. The college fee isn’t worth the facilities that you will get. 

Overall, Hindustan University is average at best. 

• The quality of education offered is not good. Most faculty members are fresh graduates and don’t have much experience. 
• The institute doesn’t have a good infrastructure. Although the institute claims to offer a good Aeronautical or Aerospace program, they don’t have good facilities or faculties to back up the claim. Besides a subsonic wind tunnel and four broken-down plans, the department offers zero facilities. 
• Hindusthan University fees are pretty steep. The B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering program costs around INR 14.39 Lakhs. 
• The institute doesn’t offer any internships or co-op opportunities to students. The placement opportunities offered aren’t worth the high course fee. 

The college lacks basic amenities that are essential for the overall growth of the students. 

Below mentioned are some of the positive aspects of IGNOU:

• When compared to other private universities such as Symbiosis Distance Learning, you pay nearly one-tenth the price to complete your degree or PG (except for an MBA, which is half the price).

• It's the government. University is recognized worldwide until the criteria state that only full-time courses are permitted.

• You get standard books that will not only impart good knowledge but will also help you clear competitive exams in simple and easy language, and they are available in both Hindi and English.

• Transfers are available in almost all states if you need to relocate during your academic career.

• There are several other benefits to joining this university and simply completing your tasks on time, such as assignments that are given only once a year and you have almost 6 months to complete them, and the answers are easy to find in your course books.

It provides an excellent platform for your success in life. If you want to study at IGNOU, you should definitely do so.
