My brother recently graduated from NICMAR Hyderabad and here is his insight regarding this. If you look at the return on investment, QSCM is a better course than the two-year full-time course. Yet, there is no guarantee that you will end up with a job.
And this applies to all of the courses. You need to have a good academic score in your previous certificates, a good NICMAR score, and good communication skills.
The course is well defined and structured as per the industry requirements. The placements depend upon your caliber and you get a ton of opportunities according to that. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 12 LPA. Some of the major recruiting companies at the institute are KPMG, L&T, HDFC, etc.
IMI Kolkata is one of the good colleges to pursue an MBA and provides great opportunities to students. The following table gives details about summer internships and final placements.

Many big firms like Adverb, Adobe, Airtel, Amazon, Analytics Quotient (Kantar), Apple, Arcesium, Bajaj Motors, BEL, BHEL, Box 8, BPCL, Capgemini, CommVault, Dassault Systems, Deloitte, etc participated in the placement drive.
NSUT Delhi placements start at the beginning of August/ towards July end. If you are an expert in coding, you will receive handsome offers from Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc. Winshuttle, Deloitte, CISCO, DE Shaw, and TI are some other companies that visit the campus for placements.
I know a college alumni who was shortlisted for DE Shaw and TI. But both these firms hired the top two candidates only. He then got selected for Open Solutions but finally became the only one in his batch to be selected by Walmart.
The placement cell does a great job of bringing in the best companies on campus. Like any other college, core companies visit in less numbers. Other than software, analytics, finance, and marketing profiles are offered to the students.
Overall, the placements at NSUT Delhi are quite good but core profiles are offered in very less numbers.
I was an M.Tech VLSI student at VNIT Nagpur. I had a bitter experience regarding the academics and placements.
At VNIT, M.Tech students are under immense pressure to conduct research. The faculty pushes the students to pursue a Phd. On top of that, one doesn’t even get the necessary lab facilities from the college. The VLSI faculty is not supportive at all, and the entire experience is filled with torture. None of the course subjects are industry relevant.
VNIT wants its M.Techs to pursue research. This is why the campus does not receive any companies for M.Tech placements. Getting placed off campus is very difficult as companies prefer students from communication branches. Also, unlike communication students, the VLSI students aren’t permitted to go for internships. This further lessens the chances of getting a job offer.
It is especially difficult to get placed off campus, given that a single position has around 200 applicants. Moreover, the NIT tag does nothing to get oneself a job. This year, only 2 students from the entire VLSI batch got placed. The others received offers from service based companies for a package of 5–6 LPA, and with a 3 year bond, of 7–8 LPA.
Overall, the placement scenario for M.Tech VLSI is not good at all, maybe the poorest out of all NITs. I won’t recommend VNIT Nagpur for an M.Tech in VLSI.
The two most important factors considered by recruiters during Placements at IIM ABC/FMS/XLRI are
MBA scores are of much importance during Final Placements but are Not available during summer placement.
If you have passed the above criteria, you are most likely to land any job. Still, I have segregated the roles that require work experience and the roles that do not.
Roles that require work experience
Roles that do not require work experience
So most of the jobs do not require work experience. Even if they do only non-engineering work experience is of value unless you want to go into Operations/Supply chain/product management.
