If you are considering Engineering colleges from Pondicherry alone then choosing PEC is the best choice. You will receive similar placement opportunities as that of the BTech students at the institute.
Companies like TCS, HCL, Aricent, Sapient, SAP, Subex, and few start-ups visit the campus for placement drives.
There is no difference in packages that are offered to BTech graduates and MTech graduates unless you negotiate on your behalf.
Another crucial thing for MTech at PEC is choosing the right project guide. Your project quality will depend a lot on the guide. It is of utmost importance for postgraduates. So, choose a difficult project and don’t entirely depend on your guide for the work. Do courses on online platforms like Coursera to learn about necessary things.
So, choose PEC, only if you are willing to go the extra mile by yourself.

Mentioned below are some statistics regarding the past placement records:
The current M.Tech in the CSE batch got exclusive opportunities in the R&D departments in companies. They got a decent package and a satisfying job at the same time.
Overall, IIT Bhubaneswar, though being a newer IIT and comes in priorities after IISc, ISI, older IITs, DTU, NSUT, etc. is still a decent option for M.Tech in CSE to get enough opportunities in reputed MNCs and grab a handsome salary package at the same time.
If you want to see rank-wise, of course, IIT Roorkee is the best option and you will notice a difference in a variety of parameters, but IIT Hyderabad is also a good option because it has good faculty members and offers all advanced courses. Placements are also good here. As a result, both are relatively similar.
Both are excellent Mtech programs, but IIT Roorkee has an advantage over IIT Hyderabad due to the older IIT and its superior research environment.
I have a few friends from NIT Jalandhar and they vouch for the M.Tech CSE Information Security course. The faculties for the branch are great. They have extensive knowledge about the theoretical as well as the practical aspects of the branch.
Here are some highlights of the course.

According to my friends, if you are opting for the MTech CSE Information Security course make sure you have easy access to computer facilities at any given time.
Overall, NIT Jalandhar is a decent option, if you have the choice to join the institute you should go for it.
Despite being a new IIT, the placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good and there has been a surge in placement rate in recent year. According to 2019 placement highlights, the overall placement rate at this IIT was around 90%. Whereas for M.Tech students the placement rate was 69%. For an M.Tech student in computer science engineering, the minimum package for the placement in this year was 9 lakhs per annum and the maximum was 24 lakhs per annum. A total of 89 companies took part in the placement drive including many MNCs and PSUs. Top recruiters were Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, L&T, Deloitte, Directi, IBM, Tesco, Samsung, Apple Inc, Adobe, etc. Apart from placement students also get great internship opportunities with good pays.
Before I begin, let me clear the misconception that the 3-year MTech program is inferior in quality to the 2-year MTech program. Because of this false assumption, the higher ranking MTech students tend to choose the 2-year MTech programs instead of the 3-year program.
Similarity
Differences
Both IIT Hyderabad and IIT Bombay offer 3-year MTech programs. There may be some other IITs as well offering similar programs.
Between BITS and IIT Hyderabad, I think the latter is a better option from a research point of view. Additionally, IIT Hyderabad also has a locational advantage, better connectivity, industry, expert interactions, etc.
Getting into IIT Bombay for your M.Tech CSE will open new doors for you. IIT Bombay has maintained an excellent placement record over the years. Even for the year 2023, the CSE branch of IIT Bombay, after phases 1 and 2 of placements, has recorded INR 1.02 CPA as the highest CTC. The highest CTC for the CSE branch was offered by QuadEye in the sector of SDE And R&D.

Thus, getting an M.Tech in CSE at IIT Bombay after doing your B.Tech from IET Lucknow will allow you very good placement opportunities.
It’s true that MTech in CSE has lesser scope and opportunities than BTech in CSE as companies are looking for freshers who can give it their all and work passionately. Also, the obsolete PG curriculum is responsible for the declining figures. IIT Ropar MTech in CSE placements have been tabulated below

There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.
