Both IIT and TUM Munich are very good in different fields. IITs give greater emphasis to UG studies, and maintains stronger connections in the Indian job market. TUM offers a better research environment and has a better global network. Which one is better depends on what a student is looking for. IIT is great for students interested in a solid career in India. TUM is better for deep research on international roles. Students can expect much higher costs of living in Germany.

I've seen this kind of Imperial vs Oxford question come up a lot, and I think the confusion is understandable. On paper, both look exceptional, so it's tempting to search for a single “better” answer. In reality, that framing usually causes more stress than clarity.
What helped me when comparing top-tier options (in my case, different programs rather than universities) was stepping away from reputation alone and focusing on lived outcomes. Things like teaching style, supervisor access, assessment culture, workload rhythm, and even how supported students feel day to day don't show up clearly in rankings. Two institutions can be equal

Both are considered very good options for an MBA. Harvard carries a better reputation for its Business education. It has a global brand and access to better resources. A Princeton University MBA is more focused on research and academics. Though Harvard has its own business school, this is not true for Princeton.
Princeton is good for students interested in a career in tech. Harvard is better for those interested in Finance or Economics.

Here's a natural, experience-driven post for that Shiksha Q&A thread:
Choosing between NUS and NTU for an MBA can feel overwhelming, especially when both have strong global reputations. I faced a similar dilemma last year and realized it's not just about the brand but the real-world implications of each program.
The problem many candidates encounter is a lack of clarity on how each programme aligns with their career goals. NUS is often highlighted for its international exposure and strong corporate links across Asia, while NTU is praised for its rigorous analytical curriculum and emerging tech-driven business insights.

University of Birmingham ranks #13 in the UK for MBA, while BCU is unranked.

Both are very good but in different areas. Harvard has the better global reputation and stonger connections globally. NUS has better connections in Asia, similar quality of placements, and is far more affordable than Harvard University. In terms of culture, there is greater diversity at Harvard, compared to NUS. Students have better chances of admission at the National University of Singapore, as Harvard's acceptance rate is just 3.6%.
