Instead of presenting stats, I will talk about the ground reality placements for this branch.
There are limited job opportunities in the core sector for Metallurgy students. Due to a lack of options during placement season, 9-pointers too end up in non-core sectors. Even GATE offers limited job opportunities. More than often, even 2-digit rank holders fail to get a call from PSUs.
But this branch is good for a career in research. You’ll have access to world-class facilities at labs like Material Research Center (MRC). Other than that, the Top 5 students from Metallurgy receive two-year research scholarships from the Ministry of Steel.
Maintaining a high CGPA is quite easy for B.Tech Metallurgy students of MNIT. These grades are important while applying for an MS at reputed universities.
Metallurgy from MNIT Jaipur is a good choice for future researchers. In terms of campus placements though, it's not a good choice.
NIT Warangal offers decent placement support to its students. The recent placement statistics are given below in tabular form

One of my friends is working in the Analytics Industry for the pasts 4 years and has given enough placement interviews in the same sectors to have a great experience. I asked him about the preparation for the Data Analytics interview. He told me that their placements are quite similar to other companies and comprise: 1 aptitude test and 3 interviews; out of these 2 are technical and one HR
Aptitude test: This written test is very similar to a CAT exam and other exams of easy to medium level of difficulty. Anyone who is preparing for CAT or GMAT would easily clear this test with an additional focus on any aptitude book.
Technical Interview: These interviews come under 3 headings
Resume projects: Preparing for this interview is easy and requires a good resume that can be built in multiple ways. You can take up data projects with R and Python which will make your resume appear better. You will have a considerable advantage over those who lack such projects.
For guesstimates and case interviews: These interviews require preparation that is similar to other interviews.
Based on the approach companies take while selecting candidates, you can prepare accordingly and ace all the interviews.
According to my friends studying at NITIE Mumbai, there are many important points regarding academics and summer placements:
The candidates having low grades or academic performance can try for their placement with the Student Placement Committee. This helps to push your CV through the cutoff.

Symbiosis Hyderabad is relatively new in the field of Law and has managed to have two graduate batches so far (2019 and 2020). The institute has come a long way in terms of their job and internship placement opportunities. Here are some of the major points about the same.
Placements:

Since the first batch graduated from the institute in 2019, it is difficult to comment on the statistics. However, more than 87% of students get placed every year in top-tier legal firms ever since from all the departments of this institute.
Top recruiters:
Some of the top companies that offer internship and job placements to the students include Fox Mandals, Oyo rooms, Cyient, Tatva Legal, KSK, Bajaj Allianz general insurance, and more.

One of my friends is a student at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering and here is her insight into the placements for EEE and EIE.
Both departments have a distinct curriculum and hence different companies recruit from these branches.
Although, the recent change in curriculum due to the university's switch from VTU to autonomous, has seen an increase in the companies visiting the campus and will soon fetch better margins on placements.
During the MBA placements season at IIM Ranchi in 2022, the highest and average packages offered were INR 42 LPA and INR 16.62 LPA, respectively. A total of 77 companies visited the campus for recruitment, with 21 specifically visiting for MBA HR placements. The highest and average packages offered during MBA HR placements were INR 32.21 LPA and INR 15.63 LPA, respectively.
Top recruiters included Amazon, Ernst & Young, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Thomson Reuters, KPMG, IBM, Deloitte, Flipkart, PeopleStrong, Sony Pictures, Samsung, Aditya Birla Group, L&T, GAIL, ONGC, Michael Page, Cadila Pharmaceuticals. The top sectors for recruitment were finance, operations, strategy and consulting, IT analytics, sales, and marketing.

Other factors you can consider to decide which is better are
Location: Location-wise K J Somaya has an upper hand as it is in Mumbai, the financial hub of India. TAPMI is situated in Manipal, The student hub.
Campus: TAPMI has a much better and more beautiful campus and infrastructure than KJ Somaiya.
Accreditation: TAPMI has an upper hand as it has coveted AACSB accreditation and is among the first institutes in India to get so.
So make a choice not just on the basis of placements but also consider other important factors.
If you are willing to pursue B.Tech and we’re not able to make it into IITs or NITs, then I suggest taking a drop year and applying for better engineering colleges than making a hasty decision and choosing IMS. The reason why I advise you on giving up IMS is that its Engineering department is not up to the mark. The quality of education is very poor and in the end, you will just end up with a Degree Certificate and no knowledge or innovative grooming. If you decide on a certain branch then it’s important to know that no matter which specialization you go for, you will be placed under TCs or any other local software company. You won’t be able to climb higher than this. So if your goals and standards are high I suggest you think twice before choosing IMS.
