IIT Jodhpur CSE is the highest-placed branch for both BTech and MTech programs. One of my close friends completed her BTech in CSE recently and got placed with a decent package. On having a conversation with her and other friends who have completed the same course from other IITs, I arrived at a conclusion. While the CSE placements of almost every IIT are great, what sets IIT Jodhpur apart is the job satisfaction it offers.
Usually, CS students receive high packages but end up leaving their job later because their job does not satisfy them. IIT Jodhpur has a different scenario, the packages offered are lower than other institutes but the job satisfaction is higher. Most students end up with jobs they love and even find their batch mates and seniors in the same company thus increasing job satisfaction.

IIT Jodhpur CSE Department has huge ties with industry and academia and has numerous ongoing projects. It also has collaborations with industry leaders like Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Morgan Stanley, DIRECTI, DeShaw, and Google for academics and research collaboration.
Both KIIT and LPU are considered as top private universities for engineering. But I can only speak in favour of LPU as I have done my education at LPU.
I interacted with my friends at LPU who have done their BTech CSE. More than 500+ recruiters visit the campus for placements every year. BTech CSE placements at LPU recorded INR 42 lakhs as the highest salary package. Additionally, LPU had 110+ recruiters from top colleges like IITs, IIMs, and NITs. The highest monthly stipend for any kind of internship at LPU is around 80k.
Tanya Arora, a final year BTech CSE student secured INR 42 lakh job offer from Microsoft. Amazon also offered INR 28 lakhs package. Utkarsh secured a position at Google HQ in Silicon Valley with a package of INR 1 crore.
This I hope proves my point that LPU is better for CSE than KIIT.
NIT Surathkal has better placements for MTech. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest CTC and average CTC offered were INR 28 LPA and INR 12.25 LPA, respectively. Companies such as L&T Infotech, Standard Chartered Bank, ZS Associates, Capgemini, Tredence Analytics, Exl Service, etc. are the major recruiters that take part in NIT Surathkal placements.

In US, Indian software engineers earn around $60k-$80k in entry-level jobs. After 3-5 years of work experience, the salary amount becomes $90k-$130k. For software engineering professionals with around 5-10 years of experience, the salary package is around $130-$200k.
Jobs in the Software industry have little to do with the university you graduated from. The international recruiters look for skills. If you have industry-relevant skills, you will receive good placement opportunities. After doing an MCA you can get jobs in US, if you fulfill the skill requirement.
CGC Landran is the better option for CSE. The department has a good faculty base. The professors try their level best to cooperate with students. There are regular CR meetings, to resolve the problems students are facing. The institute organizes TPP lectures, and training sessions from the first year, itself.
CSE has a 100% placement rate. Microsoft, Google, Adobe, TCS, etc. visit CGC Landran campus placements regularly. The average package for the branch is around INR 3-4 LPA.
The reason why IIM Ahmedabad is everyone’s dream college is because of its exceptionally good placement opportunities.

Truth be told, NIT Delhi is mainly known for its BTech program only and its MTech program is relatively new so it lacks credibility. The faculty of M.Tech. CSE is well qualified but has little or no practical experience and the computer labs have limited access to software. Although the overall environment is conducive to studying, academics at NIT Delhi are more of a personal affair. You will have to rely on your own and not on the professors for studies. The college provides the resources necessary for your thesis and project work but you have to work alone. You will also be required to do some lab work because the MTech students are also the lab assistants of juniors, instructing them how to deal with different software languages or software.
M.Tech CSE students of NIT Delhi usually receive offers from IT companies, mostly coding. However, most IT companies don’t allow Mtech students to sit for placements. Only a few allow Mtech CSE students to sit for Pre Placement Talk (PPT) and placement tests. But the M.Tech. students are almost offered the same role and packages as B.Tech. graduate in the same company. Overall, the placement scenario isn't very great, but most students end up with a decent job.
The placement scenario for PGDIE at NITIE is outstanding as a lot of reputed companies visit the campus during placements. These include Abbott, Aditya Birla, Tata Sky, Flipkart, Accenture, Exide, Cognizant, Grofers, Ola, Cloudtail, Myntra, Marico, Reliance, Airtel and many other companies.
A total of 121 companies have visited the campus and the students have received around 130 pre-placement offers. The highest domestic package offered is 44 LPA and the average package offered is 20.85 LPA.
Most of the companies take GD first and then personal interviews, but finance and consulting companies have a different approach. They shortlist the students based on their resumes and then take their interviews. They also take an aptitude test which requires having good knowledge of the subject and decent mathematical skills.
If you have prepared hard enough to present yourself in the interviews, then you will surely get placed in a top company. You should know everything about your resume and should always answer the questions with confidence.
MBA programs from Delhi University's MBE and DFS colleges have a good reputation and are considered to be reputable institutions. Usually, the average salary for MBA graduates from Delhi University's MBE and DFS colleges is around INR 12-15 LPA. However, an MBA is not just about the salary package. It is a great way to develop your leadership, management, and strategic thinking skills, which can be beneficial regardless of your career path.
I feel it's totally worth doing an MBA from DFS as it offers specialized courses in Financial Management with a primary focus on finance. It offers the best ROI amongst the top colleges in the country. Its fee is as low as INR 26k while the average package hovers around 12-15 LPA.
Overall, DFS and MBE are not comparable with prestigious colleges like FMS and IIMs but are a great platform for Management education.
