The question of whether the MBA programme at CUTM is "better" than the one at Astha School of Management is purely subjective and depends solely on your personal needs and preferences. Here's why.

Focus and offerings:

CUTM: Offers a variety of MBA specialties, including Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, and Agri-Business, with a focus on industry-oriented teaching and practical application.
Astha: mostly provides a basic MBA programme with regular curriculum and no unique specializations.

In placement point of CUTM is slightly better than Astha School of Management

 

The OJEE closing ranks for General category (Home State) candidates at Srusti Academy of Management and Technology varied in recent years, 7,730 in 2021 and 13,085 in 2022. These figures help applicants understand past trends and assess their admission chances more effectively.

The total seats offered for MBA/PGDM at Gandhi Institute For Technology and C. V. Raman Global University are 360 and 90, respectively. Hence, there are higher chances of getting a seat at Gandhi Institute For Technology due to higher seats.

The MBA placements at Central University of Orissa is not so good. It offers a decent placement. When compared to other reputable universities, CUO's MBA placement rates seem to be much lower. The average salary package that was given was approximately INR 3,50,000. The university has a 50–60% placement rate.

A less than ideal employment condition is further indicated by the fact that only 3 out of 23 students in 2022 were placed with a median package of INR 1.80 LPA. In conclusion, graduates of CUO's MBA programme can still pursue successful professions and explore other options with proactive efforts and skill development, even though the present MBA placement environment may not be the ideal.
