The campus placements of most IITs are superior to other Engineering colleges. The new IITs have fewer companies in comparison to the older IITs yet the payscale of IITs, in general, is very good.
IIT Madras gives more importance to Day-wise placements but I feel one should look for matching profiles instead. This is because there is a major chunk of good companies visiting the campus on later days as well. The slotting system at IITM does not give equal importance to the profile of the company as it gives to the number of positions any company is willing to take and the packages they are offering.
The best part of the placement season is the harmony between the juniors and seniors who provide a lot of assistance during placements. You will see a frenzy of students helping each other even without knowing each other.
IIT Madras offers the best campus selections with an abundance of good roles and packages.
No IIT has department-specific placements and usually open to all placements are done wherein companies allow students from different branches to sit for placements. There are only a handful of core companies that discriminate between students of their branch and other branches not letting them sit for placements.
So MTech placements usually mean competing with a number of students from different branches for top companies like GE, Bosch, or Texas Instruments. Most visiting companies are software companies that allow students from most branches to participate.
Not many tier 1 or 2 colleges publish their placement reports in detail. This is because they want to portray only the part of the placements that speaks highly of them and cover the part that reveals the flaws in the placement drive. These institutes know that Placement is the primary factor that is considered by students while choosing a college. So they portray it in a misleading manner.
It’s not that they provide the wrong figures, it’s just that they provide it in a wrong way that is extremely misleading. Many students while considering the college and looking at such figures fall for the placement reports and get deluded. The placement brochure that is published comprises details like visiting companies, sectors, packages offered and students picked. If you are expecting a further breakdown of the package to reveal in hand salary, then this is not possible as no company permits this. So all the primary details are mentioned in the placement reports. It’s up to you which part and how much you believe.

ECE started as an independent branch at IIT Bhubaneswar in 2016. Only around 10% of the students are placed in core companies like Marvell Technology and Qualcomm.
The rest of the students are placed in software companies like- Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay among others.
Thus, a lot fewer core companies visit the campus for placements as compared to software companies. Overall, the ECE branch placements are good.
For those who are open to shifting to the software domain, IIT Bhubaneswar is a pretty good option for your ECE. However, if you wish to work in the core companies, try to get admission to one of the old IITs.

Electrical Engineering course is present at IIT Bhubaneswar since its inception. Before 2016, B.Tech Electrical Engineering was a combination of Traditional Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Since 2016, both branches were divided. Now, there is B.Tech in EE and a B.Tech in ECE offered by IIT Bhubaneswar.
You can consider IIT Bhubaneswar for pursuing a B.Tech in ECE. The institution offers good salary packages to its students.
MANIT Bhopal offers plenty of opportunities and exposure, and the Civil Department is very professional and highly reputed. But as far as placements are concerned, the opportunities are very limited for Civil students.
Unlike elite institutes, you won’t get direct placement offers from Mega Project Holders. The placement records are very unsatisfactory for the Civil branch. During 2022, the average package for B.Tech Civil was a mere 6.74 LPA. The maximum package was 13 LPA, the median package was 6.30 LPA, and the lowest package was 4.8 LPA.
But you’ll get plenty of time in the department to join coaching for GATE, IES, GRE, etc. Basically, it is better to work hard and try for off campus placements, or higher studies/competitive exams. Do not rely on the placement drive at the Civil department.
Thus, the placement opportunities for Civil engineers at MANIT Bhopal are very few.
When it comes to placements, it is quite important that you get into the right company. It not only helps you in developing your skills but also in managing things at times.
The only major company that visits both KGEC and HIT is TCS with a minimum package of 3-3.5 LPA. The off-campus placements of KGEC are quite good for both core and IT branches. Many students end up getting 10 LPA.
There is no harm in joining a government college at all. You end up getting a package of 10 LPA.
Rather than thinking about placements, you should develop your skill in order to get high placement opportunities. In near future, you might to get more and more IT companies and you should be well prepared then.

Placements-wise, both institutes give an edge to each other with IIT Bombay slightly at an advantage over IIT Madras considering its average salary.
Both IIT Madras and IIT Hyderabad are reputed academic engineering institutions in India, popular for offering excellent curricula for CSE courses.
If you graduated from a top-tier college in your field of study and have excellent niche technical and professional skills, your market value rises. In this case, if you have a job offer that meets your short- and long-term career goals and you're happy with the remuneration, challenges, and learning environment, you should consider accepting it and postponing your MBA by a year or so. A few years of professional experience will undoubtedly boost your CV and qualify you for top-tier B-schools in India and abroad.
Alternatively, if you don't already have a satisfying job offer or want to pursue your master's degree for other reasons, IIM Rohtak is a good option.
If you don't have a job offer and only want to pursue an MBA from a top-tier MBA program, this is a difficult decision to make. Firstly, wasting a year in preparation is not worth it. You may believe that with a high score, you will be able to pass the exam next year and gain admission to top B-schools, but the truth is that even MBA colleges frown upon a gap year in their admission interviews, and it is difficult to account for when interviewing for placements and jobs.
Go for IIM Rohtak and make the most of the opportunities there. In reality, it is a central government-sponsored institution with standard and excellent academics, curriculum, and campus infrastructure.
