I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.

• CSE is comparably better than most of the other branches in the educational domain. 
• CSE provides you job opportunities in accordance to what you have been exposed to, academically. 
• On the other hand, ECE is undeniably a good choice of stream. 
• For securing a good job position, you will have to pursue majoring in one of many programming languages or web development projects. 
• This translates to studying for your course and also pursuing something extra for exposure. 
• While CSE students are already part of studying these domains in general. 
• ECE students usually also go for the GATE exam. 
• However, the only upside ECE students enjoy is finding the slightest amount of vacancies in PSU, while CS students are somewhat one step lower than it. 

Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.

The college offers a package ranging from 3 LPA to 12 LPA. The placement process starts at the beginning of the 7th semester till the middle of the 8th semester. 

Some companies are categorized as dream and non-dream companies by the students themselves. The companies which offer a package of 5 LPA or above are termed as the dream company and the one that offers a package of less than 5 LPA are termed as the non-dream companies. Companies offering a dream package for CSE and IT are aplenty.

Furthermore, if you end up being the lucky one among all the students and get selected in any of the dream companies in the first attempt itself, then you cannot sit for any other company and will have to take up that job. But if you are selected in two non-dream companies, you are no more eligible to sit for the placement process any further. You have to select any one of the two companies you have been selected for.

To get a good, impressive package, you need to maintain a good CGPA which is 6.0-7.5 and above. All the ATKTs must be clear, only then you would be able to see the various opportunities that would come your way.

Always pursue what you are interested in because if you love to do something in a field particularly, you will definitely achieve heights. Since I have a few friends at PEC, I can give you some idea about the Metallurgy course offered there. 

PEC-Metallurgy:

• The alumni base of PEC Chandigarh is immense and they still make huge donations for students.
• If you need the best facilities such as college hostel life, high-speed Wi-Fi, Co-curricular activities Join PEC.
• But, quality of education plays a vital role which is average at PEC. 
• However, you will surely get placements. 

Here’s a brief comparison of the institutes.

Now, if you want to do research or want good placements, don’t even think about Pantnagar. 

Clearly, VIT Pune is better than VIIT Pune. Although both VIT and VIIT are autonomous under the same trust i.e. Bansilal Ramnath Agarwal Charitable Trust, VIT has been operating as an autonomous body for a long time as compared to VIIT. Being in this field for a long period grants them immense experience.

Given below is a brief overview of the cs program at VIIT Pune and VIT Pune.

Cutoff: (Winning Institute - VIT Pune)

VIT Pune has a higher cut-off than VIIT Pune.

• In 2019 the closing cutoff for CS in round 3 of counseling was 1100 at VIT Pune. For VIIT Pune it was 2648 for the same.

• The student-crowd is the best in VIT and you will be among hardworking and serious peers.

Placements: (Winning Institution - VIT Pune)

The placement opportunities are ahead in VIT Pune when compared to VIIT Pune.

• For the 2020 batch, the highest package offered was 27 LPA and the average package stood at 6.68 LPA in VIT Pune.

• More than 120 companies visited VIT Pune for recruitment.

VIT has experience in introducing changes to the curriculum, examination patterns, placements, etc and they execute the changes smoothly. You may feel the changes introduced are sudden and difficult to follow at VIIT. All these factors make VIT Pune a better option than VIIT Pune despite both being autonomous and being managed by the same trust.
