Yes, of course. Placements of both MCA and B.Tech students take place together. However, I'm not quite sure about the package information about MCA students, but you can’t expect more than 5 LPA. Popular companies like TCS recruits MCA students along with B.Tech students with around 3.4 LPA.

Here are some major facts of IET Lucknow :

A lot of reputed companies participate in their placement program. These include Microsoft, KPMG, Capgemini, Accenture, HP, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, TCS, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, etc.

One of my friends studied at IET and his experience was really good. Thus, I have a clear idea about IET and would suggest you opt for IET because of the reasons below. 

• IET Lucknow enrolls students by UPSEE and this ensures the quality of students every time. UPSEE ensures a better peer on the college campus.
• IET Lucknow will provide you with opportunities to prepare for higher education. There are a lot of coaching centers in the vicinity. 
• The placement record of IET is also decent. According to the recent placement highlights the median CTC offered at the institute is 5 LPA. 

IET Lucknow is the best option for students who are really keen to invest their time in their studies. It would be better to not go for the infrastructure and physical appearance, try to understand what institute provides better education. Do your own research, and choose wisely.

I have a friend studying at IET Lucknow from the Civil branch. I will not be able to tell you about HBTI but I can guide you in the case of IET.

• The mechanical branch of IET is the best in the entire college in terms of studies.
• The faculty of the mechanical department is the best and you would not regret pursuing B. Tech in mechanical engineering from IET Lucknow. The faculty teaches better than what the students are taught in coachings (as per mechanical students).
• But as far as placement is considered, it is almost nil. The only companies that visit are from the IT sector. Even if a core company visits (rare chance), just a few students get placed. So, I would recommend you not to join IET if your parameters are good placements.
• Considering the college tag, HBTI is a renowned college but IET is also not unfamiliar. IET is well known among IIT professors.

The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Being from IET is also not bad, though not comparable to being from Harcourt.

Yes, you will get into IET but the branch that you get may or may not be any of the core branches such as Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Civil, CS, IT, etc. 

For the rest of the non-core branches, you can get into it. And hence the final scenario will be quite clear when the rank will be revealed.

IET Lucknow is a very popular engineering institute of our country. A lot of students across the country apply for admissions in the B.Tech courses offered in this college. One of my friends studied here, and I will be sharing the information I gathered from him.

• To study B.Tech in this college you will have to pay around 3.44 lakhs for all the semesters and this is excluding the extra expenses. 
• This fee is based if you are not opting to live in IET hostels.
• The extra expenses will vary among students. 
• This will include books, stationery and other daily necessities you will require everyday. 
• So, in total you will have to spend around 15,000 each semester to buy the necessary items.

This is the total fees you will have to spend to pursue B.Tech in CSE from IET Lucknow. This fee is pretty decent when compared to other private colleges where you will have to spend more than 10 lakhs in the total duration of 4 years.

ET Lucknow is an autonomous constituent college of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). It is considered one of the tier 3 engineering colleges in the state and most of the students from the institute pass out with an average salary of INR 3 – 4 lakhs per annum to work as clerks in service-based companies which cannot be termed great in any sense.

Electrical Engineering as a discipline is also very dead and there will be very few core companies who will offer jobs.

The skills demanded by the industry are not being supplied by the students and thus placements are lower. If the colleges start implementing changes and upskill their students the situation will definitely improve. But as it stands today, the placements are grim.

One of my friends pursued Civil Engineering from IET Lucknow. According to him, Civil engineering at IET Lucknow is really good. Let me share some facts I gathered from him, which might help you understand the question a bit better.

• When my friend joined the college, the word was that IET Lucknow has one amongst the best faculty when it comes to the Civil Engineering Department.
• The curriculum requires you to follow standard books which help in building fundamental concepts and are helpful for the preparation of various competitions.
• As far as the laboratories of the department are concerned, some laboratories are not up to date but rest assured, these are amongst the best you will get in any AKTU college.
• The laboratories which are not up to mark, still have most of the instruments in working condition.

The Civil Engineering course at IET Lucknow is good. It is suggested that you should go for it, as it will help you shape your career ahead. Civil Engineering might have a bit fewer placements than CSE or IT, but on a standard basis, it is quite a good institution.

All three are well-reputed colleges, but if you compare it with Manipal there would be a huge difference between HBTI and IET Lucknow. Having a few friends from the mentioned institutes here are some tips for you.

• Both HBTI and IET Lucknow have a decent faculty like MIT Manipal and even the fee is very less. 
• The diversity in MIT Manipal differentiates it from the rest of the colleges in India. 
• MIT Manipal and HBTI Kanpur have been ranked #45 and #166 by the NIRF respectively.

Statistics –

If it is very comfortable for you to afford a high amount of fees without any financial problem, then just go for Manipal, or else HBTI and IET are equally good but just that experience.
