Hi...

Choosing an engineering college requires balancing placement records, salary packages, and fees. Generally, top-tier government institutes (IITs, NITs)  offer the best combination of high placements, excellent salaries, and lower fees compared to private universities.

• Placements & Salary: The absolute best. They consistently report near 100% placements in relevant branches (like CSE, Mechanical). Average salaries are very high (often ₹18-25+ LPA), with top international offers exceeding ₹50 LPA.
• Fees: Relatively low compared to the return on investment (ROI). The government heavily subsidizes education, making the total cost significantly lower than elite private options.
• Admission: Requires qualifying the JEE Main and then cracking the highly competitive JEE Advanced exam.

• Placements & Salary: Excellent, second only to the IITs. Top NITs like NIT Tiruchirappalli, NIT Karnataka, and NIT Rourkela have phenomenal placement records, with average salaries around ₹12-16+ LPA.
• Fees: Moderate to low, offering excellent ROI. They are centrally funded technical institutes (CFTIs).
• Admission: Requires a high rank in the JEE Main exam.

• Placements & Salary: Very good. Institutions like Delhi Technological University (DTU), Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), and Jadavpur University offer strong placements and competitive salaries (avg. ₹10-15+ LPA).
• Fees: Low, as they are state or centrally funded.
• Admission: Varies by institute. DTU/NSUT use JEE Main ranks, while Jadavpur uses the WBJEE exam.

• Placements & Salary: Good placements with decent average salaries (avg. ₹7-12 LPA). However, the top salaries often go to a select few students.
• Fees: High. These institutes charge significantly higher tuition fees, which impacts the overall ROI.
• Admission: Through university-specific entrance exams or direct admission based on Class 12 scores/JEE Main rank. Examples include:
  • Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad) - very high fees, but excellent placements.
  • Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)
  • SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST)
