The cohort at IIMs and NUS is very different in terms of diversity and experience. IIMs have almost half of their cohorts fresh out of college whereas NUS has most of the participants who have reasonable work experience. Singapore being a finance hub attracts an extraordinary exposure in term of learning which IIMs and most top B-Schools in India cannot. Also, the median CTC that is offered at NUS is way higher than that at IIMs. If we see the course fee, the MBA from NUS costs around 40-50L INR whereas the fee for the full-time MBA from IIM A, B and C costs between Rs 17 to Rs 22 lakhs. The student pedigree at IIMs A/B/C and NUS is equally impressive. CAT percentile of 99 and above and GMAT scores of 720 and above ensure only the top minds enter.
The global MBA experience, in my opinion, is what makes NUS slightly better but if someone wants to pursue MBA without much experience, IIMs are an excellent option.

Hi,
St. Xavier's Kolkata is best known for its Commerce Department especially B.Com (Hons). The level of Maths and Statistics that is taught is not too high. It is taught considering all types of Students (good or average at Maths). The faculty is experienced and you can easily understand whatever is taught in class.
First year Maths and Stats can be a cakewalk for you, if you're quite good at basics of it. From second year, the level rises and you'll be required to learn new things. On an overall level, I can say, it is better than what is taught in other Commerce colleges. (Since, all the students are from Maths background).
For your kind information, KIIT School of Management offers only the BBA course not B.com. All the best.

Hello!
Well, according to me, going to the college and pursuing degree is best and effective than online or distance education. In distance education, you can't learn as effective as college goers. In distance education, it keeps on going as per the syllabus, and if you encounter any doubt, you need to write it down and send them and wait until they reply. If you are learning through a video, you have to rewind the video again and again and watch the concept carefully until and unless you understand the concept. Now, the first and foremost thing is, about the placements in long distance education? In colleges, there will be some placements provided to the students. Colleges provide industrial visits, which gives a clear cut clarity about how production house works and how an industry runs. Internships are being provided to the students of the college. But, coming to the long distance education, the question is, what kind of placements will they'll provide? How can they provide? Through which means will they provide? In a distance education the students are provided with just theoretical knowledge. So, finally I want to say that distance education is only for certification purpose. But, if you really want to learn something, then Mount Carmel College is the best. All the best for your future.
