Chandigarh University is a very reputed and popular university and it offers good placement opportunities to students of BE CSE Big Data & Analytics.
Hence, the placements of Chandigarh University are excellent and there are tremendous opportunities available in the big data field.
Here is some information on this subject-
PESU offers good placements for B.Tech CS. But because of a very large batch size, its average package comes down. The top 100 B.Tech CS students of PESU easily grab a package of 10 LPA+.
But IIITB is a better choice. It offers better faculty, peer group, placements, etc. Though PESU has a large campus, a lot of it is under construction.
I would recommend you choose iMtech at IIIT Bangalore, especially if you are not planning for a Masters’ abroad.
One of my close friends graduated from BVM and my sister was in LD. Based on their reviews BVM is a way better option for mechanical engineers compared to LD Engineering College. The reason behind this is, it is one of the oldest colleges in Gujarat. Some more significant points which will make you drift towards BVM includes:
Here are some details about the two colleges which might help you to make a precise decision:
Particulars | Mechanical at BVM | Mechanical at LD Engineering College |
Fees (Total) | 5.24 lakh | 6,000 |
Highest Package Offered | 12 LPA | 8 LPA |
Average Package Offered | 3.1 LPA | 4.5 LPA |
Top Recruiters | Infosys, Essar, TCS, L&T, etc. | Harvey Associates, MG motors, Welspun, Reliance, etc. |
Both the colleges are great, but It is suggested you go for BVM among the two. Because a good environment is necessary to concentrate on studies.
There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.
If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.
The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.

It all depends upon you, how you want to make your future and what amount of hard work you are willing to put in. I can give you some information regarding NIT Hamirpur, as my brother is a student there.
Every college has its advantages and disadvantages. The same is the case with NIT Hamirpur. Though the college is situated in a very beautiful place with a welcoming infrastructure, the environment is also very appealing but it lacks industrial exposure that is one of the major disadvantages.
Here is a brief comparison between NIT Hamirpur and IIIT Vadodara.

So it is highly recommended that you should compare the colleges along with the desired branch and then take the appropriate decision.
Having friends in both IIIT Guwahati and BITS Pilani, I can say that colleges are well recognized in India and abroad.
CSE and Mechanical are completely different from each other. CSE definitely has more advantages over Mechanical. It’s worth mentioning that CSE growth has been on a positive incline and will remain so. There is much more demand for CSE than that of Mechanical in today’s world.
Now coming to the second option giving the institute a preference then BITS Pilani is way too ahead of IIIT Guwahati. BITS Pilani has better international outreach than any IIIT so it will be really helpful if you have decided to study abroad for your higher studies.

The Mechanical branch of BITS Pilani is good for research and for higher studies too. So if you do not want to go into the corporate sector, Mechanical at BITS Pilani will be perfect for you.
I have a friend at IIEST Shibpur and here is his insight on the IT placements at the institute.
The placement statistics at IT in IIEST are excellent. The esteemed companies that are recruiters for IT include PwC, Veritas, HSBC, Microsoft, Adobe, TCS, CTS, Wipro, Infosys, etc. You will be offered internships in your 3rd year. The major recruiters in IIEST are IT companies. Therefore, from the IT department, the majority of students are able to receive placements except for a few.
Here is the highlight of recent placement statistics at the institutes.

IIT Bhubaneswar ECE is a better choice among these. It offers better placements. IIT Bhubaneswar placements 2022 had witnessed an average CTC of INR 22.40 LPA for ECE. 100% of students got placed from the branch. The highest CTC offered was INR 44.10 LPA.
Aerospace Engineering is a niche field. The career prospect in Aerospace is limited. Choose IIT KGP, only if you are passionate about the field and want to pursue higher studies.
