My sister attended IMS Indore. So, I can give you some ideas about the institute.

• Academics at the institute are average at best. The faculties are good but they have a lack of enthusiasm in teaching.
• The placement at IMS Indore is very good. It is one of the best colleges in Central India.
• This college will give ample industry exposure and will help you in developing your skills through their events. There are various types of events organized in the college.

The placement statistics at IMS Indore are as follows.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

I have a few friends at CGC and I heard good things about the institute from them. It is well-known for offering good placements and a decent academic environment.

• CGC conducts prior pre-placement training, where you will be taught how to handle interviews for the recruiting companies.
• Companies that approach the institutes, come along with their own personal criteria. Many companies set the required score range of 60%, 70% or even 80%.
• Major recruiters at the placement drive are Amazon, Wipro, Microsoft, Cognizant, HCL, Deloitte, IBM, Maruti, Hyundai, etc. The highest CTC offered to the students according to the recent placement statistics is 35 LPA.
• If you are want to secure a placement offer, try to master at least one computer language program. The competition gets intense when the number of students is 250+.

The institute conducts extra classes. These classes are about HR, group discussions, etc. Here, you will be given placement papers targeting certain companies by the teachers. At the weekend, you will be handed over modules and questions that concern that specific company.

Some of my friends are from CUSAT. Whatever information I have gathered from them, I will share as this could help you understand the question a bit more. Here are some placement statistics you can consider as far as CUSAT placements are concerned:

• The quality of students also differs and it has become drastically different from before.
• The cutoff from the last few years has also gone up by almost half.
• Some really good companies also visit the institute for placements.
• These include Oracle, Google, and other e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal.
• However, you should know that only a few students will qualify through the interview round and secure a job.
• You will have to be a good programmer and maintain a CGPA of 8.5 at least.
• Many students don’t do well in interviews if they lack programming skills and do not have that sort of GPA.
• But, in every case, there is an exception. Some exceptional students are able to crack these interviews and get placed in decent companies with really high packages.
• For example, back in 2016, a student cracked the IBM interview and secured a pay of INR 36 lakhs per annum.
• Many other students also have got good placements in off-campus recruitment so you can try that too.

You don’t have to be too worried about being placed. Once your overall course is complete many companies will continue visiting the college and students will get placed in the future.

Everything depends on your interest. If you wish to pursue your career in Electronics then Electronics and Instrument engineering and Electronics & Telecom engineering would be a better choice. If you are not certain about any branch then you should opt for IT or CS, as the placements of IT or CS branches are good. The students of Electronics also get into IT industries.

You should talk to recent pass-out students of IET DAVV and know the current scenario before making any decision.
