One of my friends from school is a student of NITIE and according to him, having work experience with more than 20-26 months just acts as magic numbers. It will be a great asset during the time of admissions. In NITIE, the average work experience of the IM batch usually ranges from 20 to 26 months and sometimes even higher. Moreover, there will also be high chances that you can sit for the LRP placements as well. Only consulting companies would be expected during the LRP process.
Here is a brief highlight of recent placements at NITIE.
| Average CTC | 20 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 43 LPA |
| Top 10% average CTC | 37 LPA |
| Top 20% average CTC | 32 LPA |
| Major recruiters | ETLI, EY, IDFC First |
Hope this answers your question.
I know a few things about LNMIIT since I have few friends there. It is a public-private non-profitable college, located in Rajasthan. From what I heard from my friends, I will not recommend choosing this institute.
If you want to build upon your career, don’t choose LNMIIT. Mostly, half of the batch fails in the exams.
Finally, life is tough at LNMIIT, so don’t go for it. Look for other options.
Plenty of coders on top competitive coding platforms are students of NIT Jalandhar. This points towards a good coding culture at NITJ. Moreover, the fee at NITs is much less than PEC or Thapar University.
Though the placement at PEC is good overall, it receives less offers from the core ECE companies. Thapar has its own list of top companies that prioritize it over other colleges. But I do not know much about their CSE department.
Thus, I would recommend NIT Jalandhar CSE over the other two options. But if you want to choose between PEC ECE and Thapar CSE, I would recommend you make the selection based on your subject interest.
Ceramic Engineering and CSE are two completely different fields of study. CSE offers better placement and packages as compared to Ceramic and though both these institutes are well-reputed the IIT tag offers certain advantages. So it’s quite difficult to choose an institute over the other.
In terms of internships, since Thapar is a private college, they have their own standards regarding schedules. In the internship session of 2019, almost 1200 students got placed. The internship session of IIT BHU includes many big names such as Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, etc.
In terms of placements, IIT BHU has performed very well. In 2019, the highest package offered was 1.03 Crore per year in domestic and four students received international offers of 1.53 Crore. Whereas, Thapar received the highest package of 39 LPA, which is quite low but the average packages of both colleges are almost similar. IIT BHU placement statistics show that 171 students chose core companies.

Thapar has better hostel and mess facilities whereas IIT BHU’s campus is spread over 400 acres, which is 150 acres more than Thapar’s. In terms of connectivity, IIT BHU has better connectivity and therefore can be assumed to have more exposure. Both colleges are good and have their own advantages. So pick the branch of your choice.
Both Mechanical from Thapar University and Metallurgy at NIT Durgapur are great options. However, if you want to attach a NIT tag to your degree, then NIT Durgapur is a great option.
The Metallurgy and Material Science branch at NIT Jamshedpur has a decent faculty pool with a mix of good and bad professors. Additionally, companies like Tata Steel, JCAPCPL, and many more visit during placements.
Here is a brief comparison of these institutes

Ultimately, the kind of job opportunities and career prospects offered by the Mechanical branch may differ from the Metallurgy branch as both are diverse fields. Ensure that your choice aligns with your inclinations and prospects.
Check the following points to understand a basic difference between both hostels:
Therefore, both Hostel C and J of Thapar University are good. Try to live in every hostel for different years of your student life. As each of them will give you different experiences each year.
The comparison between Thapar and SRM is definitely not up to the mark because Thapar is better than SRM. Having friends studying in both these colleges, I can assure you to confidently choose Thapar over SRM.

It basically depends on the student as comparing the Institute won't end up anywhere. A student should focus on the right career and college from the very beginning and should prepare accordingly. According to the student's priorities and choice of place, the Institute can be selected. But among these two, Thapar excels over SRM.
Societies or clubs in every institute mainly help in personal development. They will certainly help you in improving your skills, communication and also provide exposure. But clubs or societies don’t directly help in getting placements at Thapar University.
For placements, the first and foremost important thing is clearing the aptitude test because without clearing that you won’t be allowed to participate in the placement sessions. The second important thing is your summer internship program. The summer internship program has to be something substantial to your course and preferably from a good company. Working in a substantial summer internship program will also help in clearing the placement interview.
The certificates from the clubs or the societies won’t do much good even if you put them in the resume. It is better to work on your English, Communication Skills, and aptitude as these will help you in the placement and also in the long run.
As some of my friends studied at Thapar University, I can share some of their experiences and views about the fresher’s party.
I hope that this answer was helpful enough and your excitement about the Fresher’s party at the University lives up to its expectations.
Currently, IIIT Una facilitates education through two temporary campuses of Dev Bhumy Group of Institutes, Himachal Pradesh and the NIT campus at Hamirpur, the main campus is still under construction and the placement is average.
The first batch of IIIT Una passed in 2018, with an average salary of INR 3-4 LPA and highest salary of INR 10-12 LPA. In 2020, 90% students were placed and the average salary increased to 8 LPA and the highest to 16 LPA, hence it is being assumed that these statistics will improve in the upcoming years to reach the level of performance of NIT Hamirpur.
For now, you'd like to know these -
It is difficult to assume anything in the case of IIIT Una, it has improved from the 2018 statistics, but it cannot be said how successful it'll be in four years' time. Whereas Thapar University is developing well as far as placements are concerned, in 2020 the highest package offered to Thapar University students was INR 39 LPA and 990+ companies made offers to them.
