I heard your college (BTech.) greatly influences your profile for MBA. Can anyone tell me how are Galgotia’s college (greater noida) and KIET ghaziabad for BTech. admission. Should I drop a year instead and prepare again for JEE and AIEEE?

Please help someone!
a degree from IIT/NIT will always give you an edge over others in a b-school interview......but a btech degree from a decent college alone wont sail you through.
if you think you can crack JEE or AIEEE next year, i suggest you should surely give it a try. but remeber, u'll have to slog for another year. if you dont study/fail to crack JEE/AIEEE for any other reason, the oner year gap may actually go against you.
assuming that u have the zeal to study, i suggest u to take another attempt.
have not heard about galgotia/KIET.
P.S: did my btech from a NIT (2004-2008 ). took a year gap after 12th

I think that Galgotia is one of an institute under MAT,so you can look over here

Shruti, His query is regarding the B Tech course, which, i suppose, is not under the MAT purview.

I really doubt if you will get information related to engineering colleges here.
But what I do know is that,your background does matter but not that much.I mean just being from an IIT doesn't guarantee you a place in some IIM and also,not being from an IIT isnt a very strong criteria to throw you out if you clear the cutoffs.But then,it all depends on what you want to do in life and what are your dreams.You can go for IIT again or join the better of the 2 institutes.Wherever you go,just be sure to keep MBA out of mind and focus on the graduation studies.It is great that you are so very focused about your future but do not go into any course with a predetermined mindset.Just focus on the job at hand and get a good score and learn good things during the course of your grad.MBA prep can be started as late as 6 months before CAT if you have the basics in place.Focus on building your profile and try to come out as a well rounded individual.All this matters a lot in your interview and also in your life.
Hope that helps.

Galgotia is a avg college. Not that great and not that bad. Its a descent join. Have no idea about KIET.
B.Tech college definitely makes a difference, not only in B schools GD PIs but on the overall personality development( which is the thing that is judged at B schools).
Dropping an year has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages(only if you get into IITs,BITS,DCE/DTU,NSIT,NITs)-
1. Better prospects in terms of Btech college.
2. Better placements.
3. Brand name of college
4. Alumni base
5. Over all development of personality(fests, extra curri,faculty)
Negatives
1. What if you dont make it to these colleges next year ?
2. Some companies( i guess TCS ) specifically ask for a VALID REASON for a drop ( in interviews and in form filling) at the time of placements.
3. If you make it to a college which is some 10-15 ranks about Galgotia, it would be a total waste of 1 year.
4 . You would be an year behind.
5. Uncertainty attached with the entrance exams.
I have seen many of my friends who dropped an year, went to NSIT(CS) and are now joining TCS and Infy(not a big company) and people from Galgotia are joining Accenture or even IBM.
So, its all about you. What you want from your engineering.
Coming to the MBA interview/call , i am sure a good college can make it a bit easy for you in the interview process, but it doesn't guarantee a admission.
Dropping has a huge risk attached to it. But if you are sure you can make it next year then go for it, but if not, then take admission in this college.
Did you take coaching this year ? If you didnt then you would perhaps like to get one this time and try to get a good rank. If you took one the last year, and still didnt get a good rank(because of lack of fundamentals, bad day, luck or plain lack of interest), you will have to think about it. Can you study the same thing for 1 more year ? Would you be able to justify the year back with a good rank ?
Decision is totally yours.
In any case, make sure you do a specialization of your choice... This is the deal maker !!
Good Luck and Have fun

PS- I just completed my Btech in Computer Sci from BVP delhi(GGSIPU).

hey i am a 2009 passout from galgotia, it is a decent colg, not gr8 , nit's would be a much better option. Also consider what ur chances r of getting into iit or nit next yr , ur rank this yr can be an indicator.
As far as MBA is concerned, colg does matter but not a gr8 deal. I am myself currently into IMI, after leaving my job in TCS. I also converted calls from IMT-g and Fore.
It depends on ur performance in b.tech n mainly CAT score.
This update is certainly good for me but might get you people annoyed. I'm really sorry for sudden changes in the situation.
I may get CSE in jaypee/JSS noida.
How about that in the same context?
Hi!
I have already replied to your personal message through PM
Posting the reply on the forum for the benefit of other aspirants like you.
------------------------------------------------------------------
So you are a fresher
taking a year drop is not that big a deal....it helps you to devote more time, and to improve ur performance.
but taking a year drop makes sense only you you could get IIT or NITs next year.
My point is, rejecting an offer from Jaypee noida CS and joining VIT vellore or MIT manipal (which are very good institutes) doesnt make sense, if ur ultimate aim is to do MBA immediately after engg.
-These may be good institutes, but IITs and NITs (the top 12-13 NITs and not newer NITs like raipur, agartala etc.) are a class apart.
- If you are worried about MBA intrvw point of view, yes a NIT/IIT tag will give you an 'extra' edge. but this is not enough to get you through. an IITian has to crack CAT before he could appear for the interview
- People from instis like jaypee (non-IIT/NIT) do make it to IIMs....infact going by this year's criteria, your marks matter more than your institutes.
- To get into an NIT (a decent one), you would have to fetch a rank 12,000 (depending upon your state of domicile). Your current rank is *****. sorry to discourage you, but this would tantamount to making huge huge jump from this year's level of preparation.
suggestions:
- NEVER THINK OF TAKING A YEAR DROP AND PREPARING ON YOUR OWN (without support from a coaching centre). You could not survive in the competitve environment of Kota last year, this is a big minus against taking a year drop
- Let us assume you crack JEE/AIEEE if you plan to join 2 year PGP course immediately after Btech (like IIMs/MDI), your Btech degree institute wont matter much. Jaypee+IIM (0 yrs work-ex) is nearly as good as IIT+IIM (0 yrs workex) (do not take its as a rule. nothing could match than IIT+IIM tag atleast in india, not even NIT+IIM. but my point is that you might actually have the same kind of placement opportunity as an IIT+IIM guy.
So if I were in your place :
- I would have taken a year drop only if I were ready to give 200% and improve my preparation level by 500% (2.7 lac to 10 k is a big leap), I were sure that i have necessary resources (coaching, family support)
- I would have joined jaypee otherwise

1 have a gap of 2 years after 12th my percentage in 10th and 12th are 82 and 83 respectively. I'm pursuing b.tech from NIT-jaipur. Should i prepare for CAT despite being a 2year dropper. Is there a chance of getting admission in IIM-A,B,C,K
Prefer JSS/Jaypee,
never think of Galgotia, its gone deemed,
Kiet is good clg of uptu, but JSS is better
Now down to JSS/ Jaypee, I would say go for JSS, because its cheaper than Jaypee,
It gives a University Degree, not like Jaypee giving their own degree,
Placements are excellent in JSS, very comparable to Jaypee,
Please dont drop.... not gonna help in any way.
