NIT Trichy placements for CSE are comparable to the placements of many IITs. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, Morgan Stanley, etc. are the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 17 LPA - 24 LPA. As per the recent placement highlights, the highest CTC goes up to INR 1 Crore per annum.
One of my friends recently graduated from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE). Here is what she had to say about the CSE placement at the institute.
The institute is autonomous, and the quality of education, assignments, and projects has been improved over the years. The placements for the CSE branch are promising. All the companies allow CSE students to sit for campus placement. Recently, JP Morgan came to the campus in the sixth semester and offered packages of around INR 6 LPA. Therefore, placement would not be a problem.
All the students across all branches get placed in at least one company. Most students get placed in Accenture, Infosys, HPE, Continental Automotive, Moog, EY, UHG, Dell, JP Morgan, Oracle, Tally, Cognizant, and more. All of these have recruited CSE students in the past.
I will advise you to talk to seniors, before joining the institute, to have a clear picture.

This question can only have a subjective answer. I have myself done my B.Tech EE from IIT Madras, but I would recommend you consider several factors before arriving at a decision-
Your subject of interest matters a lot, even more than your college. Make sure to select the branch that interests you. Take a good look at the curriculum and course offerings of both these options, and find out which of them aligns with your career/academic goals. Also consider the specialization opportunities offered by each option.
Look at the research interests and projects undertaken by faculty members of each program. Realize whose interests align with you the most. Getting into research work at UG level will only be beneficial for you. Take a visit to both the institutes or consult some seniors to find out which one offers better infrastructure, campus life and other facilities.
Personally speaking, I’ve had an excellent experience at the Electrical department of IIT Madras. So, if you don’t have a particular interest in CS, you may very well consider EE at IITM.

The cutoff scores for admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at NIT Goa vary from year to year and depend on several factors, such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats in the program.
However, based on previous year trends, you would need to score a rank under 7000 in the JEE Main exam to have a good chance of getting admission to the CSE program at NIT Goa. It's important to note that this is just an estimate, and the cutoff may vary from year to year.
Additionally, being a female candidate in an EWS category, outside Goa, you may be eligible for certain relaxation in the cutoff score or additional seats under the reservation quota. It's best to check the official website of NIT Goa or contact their admissions office for more information on the specific admission criteria and cutoff scores.

BITS Pilani was able to fetch the highest average in India for any UG CS course owing to the numerous international offers that it received. I don’t consider including the international offers after converting them into Indian offers and then calculating the average as things like stocks and bonuses for subsequent years are overlooked. Thus, the resultant average is inflated and misleading. No doubt BITS is a great institute but being a private one it certainly publishes exaggerated ads and misleading figures to attract the crowd.
BITS Placement Unit is infamous for its actions and bias so the inflated figures also served the purpose of silencing the ones that criticized the unit.
The only solution to this problem is for colleges to come together and decide on a common declaration format for job offers. The Indian and international offers should be normalized according to purchasing power parity, and stocks made available after 3 years of working should not be considered part of a person's salary 'package'.
