How’s the placements for COE in Thapar University?
COE placements in Thapar University are decent and numerous opportunities are offered to its students. The reality is, the quality of roles and packages also depends largely on the profiles of the students and their skills. Many reputed firms like Microsoft IDE, Amazon, and Maruti visit the campus every year and offer lucrative packages to skilled students. Work Applications, a Japanese company offered a package of INR 30 LPA in the past. Many such offers are made.
Many students resort to off-campus placements and end up with high packages. The reason is that the campus placements do not allow some startups because they aren't sure of their credibility. These startups offer huge packages to students in off-campus placemats.
If you want to get placed as a COE student at Thapar University check the following points
- Learn Coding
- Create something unique
- Contribute to open source projects
- Conduct qualitative research and publish a few papers
- Participate in online coding competitions.
I will highly recommend you go for off-campus placements in Google, Microsoft Research, Oracle, Rubric, Tower Research, etc.
Is COE at Thapar University really good? Are there opportunities for internships?
COE is one of the best branches of Thapar University offering a plethora of job opportunities and exposure to students. Sparing a few professors, the department is blessed with some of the best faculty members.
The internship scenario specifically is great for this branch and one of my friends at Thapar University told me that 5 of his batchmates received internship offers from Microsoft IT. Other companies offering internship offers included Expedia, Snapdeal, Royal Bank of Scotland, ARM, etc. The students received stipends in the range of 20-40k per month. Most of these companies offer PPOs to their students.
Additionally, the research internships are great. One of my friends had the opportunity to intern at IIT Roorkee after his 2nd year. Many others got selected at IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, Kanpur, Guwahati, Ropar, Gandhinagar, Mandi, etc. The reputation of Thapar University is such that it plays a very positive role in the selection of students.
Overall, the brand value of Thapar University makes it possible for big companies to offer lucrative packages and roles.
Should I pursue IT in NIT Surathkal or CSE in SVNIT Surat?
Both NITK and SVNIT are tier-1 NITs and are excellent choices for engineering. Moreover both the branches are one of the most coveted branches so the choice of colleges is rather difficult here.
Go for CSE at SVNIT, if you are interested in CSE only. Usually CSE faculty is better than IT faculty. But if the tag of the college matters more then go for IT at NIT Surathkal as it has a better reputation than SVNIT in terms of job placement, alumni network, infrastructure, academics, start-up culture, etc. Here are a few additional reasons why you should choose NIT Surathkal
- The IT curriculum in NIT Surathkal is better than that of CSE in SVNIT on all parameters.
- The lab infrastructure and facilities are much better in NIT Surathkal. The curriculum is up to date.
- NIT Surathkal focuses on project-based learning. Every course has a practical aspect.
- Placement statistics of the IT dept in NIT Surathkal are also way better.
Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on your own preferences. However, I can say with certainty that choosing either colleges and branches will give you amazing results choices because CSE & IT are the most in-demand branches, combined with the tier-1 college tag.
What should I choose, VJTI for Computer Science or BITS Goa for Chemical?
My friend also faced the dilemma of choosing between VJTI and BITS Goa. He ended up choosing VJTI because of the following reasons.
- VJTI offers a renowned CS curriculum with a strong focus on practical learning.
- BITS Goa may have a higher average salary during placement, but placements for CS at VJTI are also pretty solid. A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now in 2024. The highest package was secured by a BTech Computer Science student which stood at INR 57 LPA with the average package being INR 20 LPA.
- VJTI has strong industry connections and easily offers students research and internship opportunities in top firms.
- BITS Goa also offer most of such programs in dual degree format which may be uncomfortable for some students.
- Mumbai being a tech hub can also be beneficial as VJTI CS students are to an ecosystem of networking opportunities and jobs.
What is the average package of the COE branch at Thapar University?
Thapar University does not release official data for branch-wise placements so I contacted a friend who is currently pursuing a COE course there.
As per the information he shared, the recent highest package received by a COE student at Thapar University stood at INR 39 lakhs while the average package of COE was in the range of 10-12 lakhs. The placement percentage is usually around 100% although only the most skilled ones receive packages above 10-15 LPA.
The kind of companies and the packages they offer depend on your soft and technical skills. Here, you have to work hard to get offers from the best companies else you will remain unplaced. It’s better to start preparing for the interviews in the 3rd year itself when you have to sit for internships.
What is a salary package after completing a B. Tech in Computer engineering from KJ Somaiya?
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.
Should I prefer JMI CSE or DTU mechanical?
Among the above two institutes, for students interested specifically in computer science, JMI CSE should be a better option. But, students having no specific preference in streams should consider Mechanical at DTU.
The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two departments of the institutes.

Key Highlights:
- As discussed above, students interested in Computer Science and IT should take JMI CSE, which generally has some decent opportunities. The top 7% of the batch gets more than 7 LPA package salary in JMI CSE.
- Students having no specific preference can choose DTU Mechanical, which provides a large amount of exposure inside the campus, along with several good opportunities during and after the course.
- Students at DTU Mechanical usually get a 7.5+ LPA package offer in some of the best companies working in the core mechanical sector. The course of DTU Mechanical is considered to be one of the best in India.
- JMI has much lesser fees than DTU, which makes it a lot of a more preferred option. For students successful in getting a decent placement offer at JMI, it provides a much better return on investment than DTU.
Considering all the above factors, both the institutes have their own set of advantages and are worth considering.
What is the value of doing computer engineering B Tech from NMIMS Mumbai?
Computer engineering B. Tech is a good field that offers excellent opportunities for higher studies and jobs. If you are interested in studying computer science and willing to take up challenges to plan your career well, this course has good value for you.
NMIMS Mumbai's MPSTME is a deemed university that offers a computer engineering B.Tech program. The school has good infrastructure and faculty, and it provides a student-centric environment. Students from this school have gone on to pursue higher studies and secure placements around the world.
If you are considering this program, you can be assured that the course has good value, irrespective of whether or not you choose to join the same department or school as me. However, keep in mind that seats for this course are full, so you should check whether you have already been admitted or are still planning to apply.
Which is better for computer engineering, IIT Hyderabad or BITS Hyderabad?
It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS.
- Only top rankers with JEE Advanced ranks in the range of 500–5500 get into IIT Hyderabad while those who don’t get through JEE Advanced or have ranks of 8000+ easily get good seats in BITS Hyderabad.
- BITS Hyderabad is BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, not BITS Pilani.
- The average package of IIT Hyderabad is almost par with that of IIT Delhi and Bombay, while the average package of BITS Hyderabad is much lower.
- IIT Hyderabad has a Fractal Academic System, under which there is regular testing and grading throughout the year. Also, you can fill your academic palette with the courses of your choice.
- The courses are industry relevant and updated, unlike older IITs.
- Owing to the Japan Collaboration, IIT Hyderabad students regularly get internship offers, job offers, and higher study and research opportunities in Japan.
- IIT Hyderabad frequently collaborates with IIIT Hyderabad for Hackathons, Coding Competitions, and other stuff.
- IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and BITS has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad.
I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.
Which is better for CSE: NIT Hamirpur or NSIT/DTU?
NSIT/DTU is far better than NIT Hamirpur for CSE.
Be it academics, placement, research culture, peer group, exposure, etc. NSIT/DTU will offer better opportunities. These two institutes also have a locational advantage. Due to the favorable location, you can easily get good exposure in the CSE domain. NSIT and DTU both will offer you plenty of opportunities. However, many students prefer NSIT for their small student intake.
