How to rank these colleges for engg., JIIT, Northcap, Shiv Nadar, GD Goenka, Manav Rachna, JSS, Galgotia, AKG, ABES, IET Lucknow, KNIT, or YMCA FBD?

I heard a lot of people ask these types of questions but it is fundamentally incorrect. VIT is one of the top-ranked colleges in India. However, the VIT students heavily deny this fact.

If your goal is to pursue PG programs or get employment through placements immediately after your graduation, then keep an eye on the curriculum, the flexibility allowed by the elective courses offered by the institute(s). You can also ask the seniors and the committee in charge of the admissions about the placement cell and how it functions.

It does not matter where you go and/or whatever you do; only 30% is in the hands of the institute. That is determined by how your prospects are affected and how your peers are. Rankings are often deceptive. They do not accurately indicate how good the institutes are.

You should make up your mind about your rank, campus life, placements, core academics, peers, etc. You must have a clear idea of what you want to achieve in the future and look for accurate information that will help you in your goal.

Here is a generalized preference order, based on the reviews that I have of these institutes.

Shiv Nadar University > JIIT > Northcap University > YMCA > Others.
