How good is the placement of the MCA at Thapar University?

One of my friends studied at Thapar University. According to him, pursuing MCA at Thapar might not be a good choice. This is because a B.Tech in CSE graduate is always preferred over an MCA degree.

• During placement interviews, the panelists will see in your resume that you have a BCA or B.Sc. degree in CSE.
• Due to this, most of them assume that you didn't get an opportunity to study B.Tech so you chose BCA.
• They tend to lean on B.Tech graduates, as they will help maintain the reputation of the firm.
• The thing you can do after BCA is to get a lateral entry and obtain a diploma in CSE.
• After that, you can try to take admission in the 2nd year of the B.Tech program at Thapar.
• This will help you secure a better job opportunity than an MCA degree.
• An MCA degree from Thapar will get you a salary package of 5-10 LPA.
• A B.Tech degree will get you a 15-25 LPA salary package.

MCA at Thapar is way better than many other colleges like CGC Landran, Chandigarh University, etc. But it is important to remember that the recruiter at any IT company will always differentiate between an MCA graduate and a B.Tech CS graduate.
