Among these, PIMB is better. It offers full-time MBA/PGDM courses in different domains such as Operations, Marketing, HR, Finance, etc. The curriculum followed by PIMB incorporates the latest industry trends. The coursework and curriculum are also updated regularly. PIMB offers profile-oriented training to students according to their interests. You will receive live industry projects, industrial visits, corporate sessions, and GD-PI training based on your profile. 

PIMB Pune placements maintained a 99% placement rate over the years. During this year’s placement drive the highest and average CTC offered were respectively INR 12 LPA and INR 6 LPA. 

HBTI IT will be better than IET Lucknow CSE. It offers better placements. All the companies that visit HBTI campus to recruit students from CSE, also allow students from IT branch to sit for placements.  Here are the recent highlights of HBTI placements.

HBIT also has a better brand presence in the industry. 

For CSE, KLU is better. The department has a great faculty base. KLU follows a well-designed curriculum. Students do real-time projects as a part of their coursework. KL University placements are great for CSE. According to 2022 placement highlights the average CTC offered was INR 9.7 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 55 LPA. Accenture, IBM, Gene Tech, etc. are among the major recruiters that took part in the placement drive.

I completed my B.Tech CS from NIT Rourkela, so I can only speak for my own college.

For placements, NIT Rourkela is probably behind the other two because of its locational disadvantage. The lack of good connectivity creates difficulty for IT/software firms to reach Rourkela during placement season. Despite that, last year, the average package for B.Tech CS was Rs. INR 21.87 LPA at NIT Rourkela. This is quite a decent figure.

Moreover, I can assure you of the excellent research and infrastructural facilities at NIT Rourkela. It is probably better than the other two in this regard, and can even be compared to NIT Trichy. A good number of students from the CS department get offered foreign research internships. Some of them even end up receiving an offer for higher studies from universities in the US and Europe. 

NIT Rourkela is a good option for B.Tech CS if you want to pursue higher studies, but it might not be the best in terms of placements.

NIT Surathkal B.Tech in CSE is definitely a better choice because it's one of the oldest institutes with a rich legacy. The department has lots of establishments in academics as well as industry. There are several well-established student activity bodies and an elaborate alumni base with a coding background.

I am strongly against you joining an integrated program at the bachelor's level because you first need to know the exact domain you are interested in. If you realize that you have taken the wrong branch then spending 5 years will become very difficult. BTech gives you enough time and opportunities to analyze what your interests are you can not decide, after 3-4 semesters, you will be able to judge yourself overall. Also, a B.Tech in CSE from NIT Karnataka with a good GRE score may help you get admission offers of MS abroad.

So go for NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE without any second thoughts.
