Hello sir, I have chances in the following nits :- 1. Manipur - electrical 2. Raipur- metallurgy, bio medical, bio tech, mining 3. IEST Shibpur - mining, metallurgy 4.Srinagar - mining, chemical,civil, metallurgy 5.Agartala bio tech, production engineer , chemical, civil 6. Rourkela - Life science Which college and braches should I have to choose so that when I graduate from these colleges I have no regrets along with future scope.
Ans: Jayanandan, Each institute combines strong accreditation, experienced faculty, updated laboratories, industry-linked internships and dedicated placement cells. NIT Manipur’s Electrical Engineering recorded a 90% placement rate in 2023 with high IT-sector recruiter engagement despite fewer core roles and offers broad power-electronics and renewable-systems exposure. NIT Raipur’s Metallurgical Engineering saw an 80.39% placement rate in 2024, with average packages of ?13.75 LPA, while Biomedical Engineering lagged at ~30–40% but offers collaboration with AIIMS for healthcare R&D. IIEST Shibpur’s Mining and Metallurgy programs achieved near-100% placements over four years, average packages of ?7–12 LPA, and recruit from leading public and private mining firms through legacy ties. NIT Srinagar’s Chemical Engineering led with a 104.29% placement rate, average package ?10.48 LPA, and 100% Metallurgy placements under a stable curriculum and strong PSU recruiter network. NIT Agartala’s Biotechnology & Biochemical Engineering achieved ~81% placement consistency and ?7 LPA median package, supported by biotechnology research labs and growing MoUs, while Chemical Engineering posted ~78% placements with ?8.52 LPA average. NIT Rourkela’s Life Sciences branch placed ~90% of its M.Sc. cohort at an average ?6.10 LPA, benefiting from DBT-sponsored projects and strong research orientation.

For the best blend of placement reliability, core-sector pedigree, and future scope, the recommendation is IIEST Shibpur Mining Engineering (if your health permits). Next in preference is NIT Srinagar Chemical Engineering, followed by NIT Manipur Electrical Engineering. Subsequent options are NIT Rourkela Life Sciences, NIT Raipur Metallurgical Engineering, and NIT Agartala Biotechnology & Biochemical Engineering to align with research and industry priorities. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Amit, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida’s B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering is a NAAC A++- and NBA-accredited deemed-to-be university under UGC, with over 250 PhD-qualified faculty delivering a cutting-edge curriculum. Its department maintains 47 specialised computing and research labs—including high-performance DGX workstations for AI/ML—and partners with global institutions for student exchange. Mandatory industry internships and a centralized Placement & Training Cell have driven a CSE placement consistency of around 94–100% over the past three years, with 214 recruiters making 505 offers to 449 CSE students in 2024.

The Institute of Engineering & Technology Lucknow is a fully residential, state-funded autonomous college under AKTU, recognized by AICTE and NBA. Established in 1984, its CSE department offers a JEE(Main)-based B.Tech, supported by experienced faculty, state-of-the-art computing and networking labs, and two centres of excellence in green hydrogen and electric vehicles for interdisciplinary exposure. A dedicated Training & Placement Cell and robust industry MoUs yield nearly 100% CSE placement rates with an average package around 8 LPA over the last three years, engaging top recruiters such as TCS, Wipro and Adobe.

For global research collaborations, superior AI/ML infrastructure, and slightly higher placement consistency, the recommendation is JIIT Noida CSE. If you prefer a government-backed institute with extensive interdisciplinary labs, residential campus life, and near-100% placements in a core-state environment, the recommendation shifts to IET Lucknow CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
