Considering the data given above, Galgotia College should be preferred for B.Tech CSE because:
Its fee is comparatively lower than Galgotia University.
It has comparatively better Average placement records.
The batch size of the College is less than that of the University.
Since the college was established in the year 2000, it has more experience and better placement records.
However, since the difference is relatively low, the final decision is up to you.
