I have a few friends from the Chemical Engineering department at Jadavpur University. According to them, the placement record from the branch has been good in recent years.
Some of the reputed companies that visit the campus for Chemical Engineering students are Cairn India, ITC, Axens, BPCL, etc. The packages offered for Chemical Engineering students range from 5-17 LPA. In the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered at the institute was 19 LPA.
IIT BHU is one of the prestigious IITs of India and is 100 years old. The Mechanical Department of IIT BHU has good faculties and excellent lab facilities. Course Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering is designed in such a way to provide students with industrial skills. The Mechanical Department at IIT BHU has good placement stats having companies visiting campus for jobs in both cores as well as non-core profiles.
Some of the well-known core companies visiting the campus include DRDO, IOCL, HUL, Jaguar, TATA motors, Reliance, Maruti, L&T, BPCL, etc. The list of companies is not only restricted to the core, but students get offers from non-core sectors too like Software/IT, Consulting, Analytics, Finance, Education, etc. It has been observed that most of the students are placed in well-known organizations with an average package ranging from 10-12 lacs CTC. The Highest package in the core sector is around 31 Lacs CTC while in non-core is nearly 41 lacs CTC. Thus, the overall placement percentage of students for the Mechanical Engineering Department is above 90%.
JU is also a good college with some of the good faculties and infrastructure. It is considered one of the best colleges in West Bengal after IITKGP. One of the perks of joining JU is that fee is only 10k per semester which is quite cheap when compared to IIT BHU. Placements are very good and on par with other colleges and students get placed in top companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Samsung, Goldmann Sachs, etc. Students were offered an average package of 12 LPA CTC while the highest being offered was 39 LPA CTC by Adobe.

According to the cutoff trends of the last few years, you will need to score above 130 out of 200 in WBJEE, in order to get into branches like IT, Electrical, Electronics at Jadavpur University. A score of around 105 should get you branches like Civil, Production, or Chemical Engineering at JU.
In order to get CSE at Kalyani University, your rank should be within 2000 and you will need a score above 92.
Here are the recent cutoff highlights for JU and Kalyani University.
Branch | JU Cutoff by rank | Kalyani University Cutoff by rank |
CSE | 49-81 | 1328 |
IT | 104-159 | 2464 |
Electronics & Telecommunication | 110-144 | - |
Electrical | 161-219 | 2430 |
Electronics & Instrumentation | 174-301 | - |
Mechanical | 225-324 | 2992 |
Production | 315-420 | - |
Chemical | 338-416 | - |
Civil | 373-451 | - |
This should give you an idea about the cutoff required at JU and Kalyani.
Both Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur and IT at Jadavpur University seem to be good options so the choice really depends on your preferences. I hope you aren't someone who is obsessed with tags because, in the long run, the tag of your college does not even matter. Moreover, both NIT Jamshedpur and Jadavpur University have a considerably good reputation in the industry. However, it's true that Nit Jamshedpur metallurgy placements are slightly better than JU metallurgy placements because of their favorable location. JU IT placements are decent too with many 20_ LPA offers. Here is why I will suggest you go for JU IT instead of NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy
Additionally, consider the following table before making the final choice.

No, it is not possible to change branch at Jadavpur University. Unlike NITs and IITs, all departments at JU don’t have a common syllabus for the initial year.
From 1st year itself, each department follows its own syllabus, which is why switching branches at JU is not possible. But if you are admitted to one department, you are still eligible for sports quota admissions, if there are vacancies.
The placement record for Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University is not great. For a decent job offer in the placement drive, you will need to top your batch or have to be within the top 10 students in your class. The initial pay scale may not be that attractive, but you can expect to receive a good CTC, once you get experience.
The initial salary package for Civil Engineering is around 3-5 LPA. The placement scenario for branches like Civil is similar in other reputed institutes like IIT KGP. Only after doing your M.Tech from reputed IITs or NITs, you can expect a good salary package. If you want to get a good job after graduation, you should start preparing for UPSC, GATE, IES, etc. If you score a decent rank in GATE, you can work for PSUs. West Bengal Govt. also offers many jobs for Civil students.
