The first batch of IIT Kota graduated in 2017 and there were very few students, but still, placements were decent. It actually surprised everyone. One of my friends was a part of the first batch. 

Placement Statistics 2017: 

The institute only had CSE at first. Almost 60% of students got placed and the highest CTC was 26.5 lakhs/year. In the same year, Amazon selected 6 students from MNIT for internships. Out of those 6 students, 3 were IIITians. 

Placements Statistics of 2020-21:

Hope the statistics given above gave you an idea about the placement scenario at IIIT Kota.

Some of my friends attend NIT Trichy and based on the conversation I had with them, I can give you some idea about the placements at the institute. 

NIT Trichy opens the placement of software companies for the MCA students. Even the most renowned companies like Epic, Facebook, and Microsoft give placement to the students of the MCA course. The highest package that was offered to the students of the NIT Trichy from the MCA course is around 64 Lakhs per annum. 

According to the recent placement highlights, the average CTC offered by the institute is 6 LPA. Going by the past placement highlights is safe to say you will have good placement offers for an MCA from NIT Trichy. 

Placements are not great here at Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College. If you are planning on securing admission, you need to study hard as well as be good at coding. My advice to you would be to try securing an off-campus placement.

Up till 2017, the student’s opinion was that the placements here are in the negatives or almost close to zero. However, during that period the administration had not taken enough effort to ensure that students are placed. 

Now that the principal has changed, the scenario has definitely improved quite a bit. Although keeping in mind that the college is relatively new, the placements have not drastically improved. 

• The highest package offered to students in the year 2018-2019 was about INR 4 lakhs per annum in the IT branch and about INR 6 lakhs per annum for the civil branch. 
• The rest of the branches received a salary of INR 3.6 to 3 lakhs per annum.
• If you are looking for extremely high pay like that offered at IITs, you should probably rethink your decision of going here. 
• The placement scenario is definitely improving but it is not as good as you would expect it to be.

The students of the civil engineering branch are getting trained by reputed government agencies and aptitude tests for placements. You can expect to get placed in this case. However, as far as IT is concerned, you will have to get a letter signed by the authorities and find your own internship and job. Here, you can think of focusing on your coding skills or as mentioned in the job skills required and prepare for the same.

Considering the placement stats after doing a lot of research, one thing is very clear that IIEST ends up with 100% placements every year among which 2-3 CSE/IT students get placed in top-notch companies like Google, Microsoft at an exorbitant compensation package as compares to average package figure of the institute. However, from an independent perspective, the average salary is still at the bottom-line if you consider other tiers 2 colleges. There are certain reasons for it such as:

Recognition:

This is one of the major reasons for such placement stats. Almost nobody outside West Bengal knows that there is an Engineering college name IIEST Shibpur and the same happens with the recruiters as well. People might ask you such questions like where is your college located. Which is this college? Etc.

Alumni Network: 

IIEST Shibpur does not have a very strong alumni base in the companies that can influence the companies to conduct any recruitment drive in the college.

Placement Cell:

Most of the students of IIEST Shibpur will agree to the fact that the institute really needs to work upon its existing placement coordination procedure.

Overall, the institute needs to work hard on their placement cells if they want to improve the placement stats. Then only there will be a scope that students of IIEST Shibpur will get some placements.

One of my friends had recently joined NICMAR and here are some things he suggested that might help you with your question. 

• It would be highly recommended to take the Distance Course if the aspiring candidate is very serious about pursuing this course.
• The degree is not much worth the cost that one is paying. 
• Most of the prior experienced candidates got job offers with lesser salaries than they were getting before.
• The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA wherein you do not have much choice with the company that you can get placed anywhere else.

Thus, it is important to take suggestions from students who have recently passed out or are currently graduating and then make the decision.
