BVP Pune would be a better choice as Pune is a technical city and plays an important factor in the placements. The city has all the MNCs and is the top place for a student for great placements.

Also, Bharti Vidyapeeth Pune is among the best private Universities in the city because of the well-educated and experienced faculty and also the placement packages it furnish. Therefore, you should go for BVP Pune as it will be a better choice.

Jadavpur University has managed to survive the recession to give its student a handsome placement package. My friend is currently studying there and their placement happens all around the years, unlike IITs where placement happens for two weeks or so.

Like most engineering colleges, CSE as usual tops the placement with their highest packages. The most popular recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Almost 100% of students are placed in all the branches. Here are some branch-wise placement statistics for the year 2020.

Another good thing at Jadavpur University is that most of the big IT/ Analytics firms do not discriminate between the branches and allow them to sit for their placements. This way, you can grab a job in any field that you would like if you develop an interest in it in your college tenure. 

K J Somaiya College of Engineering is affiliated with the Somaiya Vidyavihar University and thus offers now a B.Tech degree (not a BE degree) with a total of 160 credits. The various B.Tech branches available are –

• Computer Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Information and Technology
• Electronics Engineering
• Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

These are the five branches offered by the institute and you can choose one according to your likings and choice.

My sister used to be a student of Thapar University so I think I can give you some information regarding the institute. 

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of the TU.

Pros-

• The infrastructure is really good. You will get Wi-Fi at around 4Mbps, Sports facilities are good, and the accommodation is really good.
• There are a lot of research opportunities that you can pursue without a lot of questions.
• You will have to attend college only 5 days a week. You get off for 2 days and you can travel around a city.
• Patiala is a nice city. It has all the basic amenities.
• There are a lot of cultural events and societies you can be a part of. The campus is really good.
• The placements are really good. According to the recent statistics, the highest package offered was 28.5 LPA.

Cons-

• There are teachers who are fresher in the field of teaching and lack the skills required. 
• There are a lot of cultural activities, but the students raise the money only by the exterior motive of making money.
• There are societies like Student Alumni Interaction Cell (SAIC), with biased selection criteria. 
• There is the 75% attendance criterion.
• There is a 50% Punjab quota. You might see people with half your JEE marks in the same branch as you are.

Apart from this, the placement report of the college is good. Just keep your pace and give your best in your studies.

You should prepare yourself for the overall year that you are going to have. You will come to know about the academic nitty-gritty on your way. The syllabus is definitely vast as the IITs will help you develop yourself more as a person than a student.

You can find the syllabus for the first year on the official website. You will find the syllabus of different branches on their departmental pages. If you have any specific doubts you can reach out to the current students or alumni of the institute. There is an IIT Madras Freshman Forum.

Your chances of growth get lowered at Reva University. If you have a good rank, consider other colleges.

• The university has invested a lot in marketing and that is why there’s hype outside. 
• Opt for colleges that have a lot of clubs and committees and focus gives importance to cultural activities as well. REVA University lacks this. This will not only develop your personality but also improves your CV.
• It is a deemed university and the curriculum is not much updated. You will get less opportunities at the university
• The student crowd is not good, and the people of the college are not cooperative at all.

If you take admission here, you will regret your decision for sure. This is coming after all the frustration of the students due to lack of exposure, and the education it failed to provide. 

Lucknow University is renowned to offer a bunch of different courses, within which B.Tech is a freshly inaugurated branch that started anew in the year 2017. 

• Since it is extremely new in cases alike, the placements are not highly fruitful at present. In light of this fact, there is currently no alumni network as well. 
• Unlike many other universities, you are expected to work harder than anticipated, so as to grab a position in the job sector.
• Your career essentially depends upon how ready you are to prepare in the best way possible. 
• No amount of external guidance can assist you in gaining a fruitful career prospect, let alone the university. Prepare thoroughly while pursuing any course you are inclined towards. 
• You can also choose to prepare for either of the major competitive exams, GATE, CAT, IES among others.

Moreover, only choose Lucknow University if you are devoid of any options. Other than that, there is absolutely no issue in joining Lucknow University. 

Electrical Engineering is better to go for BIT Meresa whereas for everything else it is better to go for Thapar. 

• The quality of students will be much better in Thapar. 
• CSE has high cutoffs ranging from 190–210 JEE score and Mechanical and ECE also has students having around 170–175. 
• Whereas, in BITS, there will be many people who enter because they have a good board percentage, not a good JEE score. 
• For CSE and Mechanical, it has to be Thapar above BITS while for ECE and Electrical, BITS would be better. 
• Campus life and fests of Thapar are better as I have heard BITS has bad administration. 
• Thapar has increased its seats which has seen a fall in cutoffs of recent batches. The total batch strength is now around 1700. 
• The university has improved the existing labs and new labs have been created recently to get accreditations like ABET etc. 

Check the following table for a brief insight into statistics for both institutions:

The administration at Thapar University believes that the fall in the quality of students can be compensated by the improvement in these parameters resulting in an overall rise in rankings.
