According to the information provided online, the average package of pass-outs from the top NITs in the country ranges from 10-15 lacs, whereas for other NITs, it is 5-10 lacs.
Top domestic and foreign employers like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Credence, QuadEye Security, Lowe's, Wissen, Nokia, Incture, PharmEasy, ATCS, Toshiba, Cartesian Consulting, IBM, Cisco, Amazon, Arcesium, SAP, Qualcomm, Oracle, AppDynamics, etc. visited the NIT campuses to hire engineering graduates for a variety of roles.
The average package for an MBA graduate from NMIMS Mumbai is as follows-
The highest packages vary a lot, so the average package should be a better indication of which colleges have a better package.
Among the above two institutes, CSE at IIIT Kota is a good option, considering the placement statistics of the institute. The table below gives a brief level of comparison of both the institutes, specific to the branch of CSE.

So, considering the placements and curriculum into account, IIIT Kota is a better choice for Computer Science and Engineering.
First of all, both the branches differ a lot from each other. Thus, you need to understand which branch you are inclined to. Also, keep in mind that you can change your field from ECE to CSE but not vice versa. So, choosing CSE can get you an advantage in many ways. My friend is currently studying CSE in MSIT and here’s what his experience says.
Dedicated faculty: Most teachers are well experienced and really enjoy what they teach you. If you have even smallest of the doubts, do not hesitate as they will assist you whenever you need them. Especially in the CSE department, teachers are really cooperative.
Infrastructure: If you visit both MSIT and MAIT, you will find that MAIT has a tad bit better infrastructure.
Location: MSIT definitely has a location advantage as you can find various hangout spots around the institute and even the nearest metro of Janakpuri East is just 5 minutes away. On the other hand, MAIT lacks proximity to metro and hangout spots.
Placements: While both the colleges have great placements, the CSE branch will get you better packages and increased opportunities, like any other college In India.
According to the recent placement data the highest and average CTC offered at MSIT is 47 LPA and 3.6 LPA. For MAIT the average and highest CTC is 3 LPA and 28 LPA.
All in all, both MAIT and MSIT are reputed private colleges of Delhi. The biggest thing that makes the difference here is the branch you choose. No doubt CSE has an upper hand over ECE as mentioned above.
SRM Sonepat is still in its developing phase. You won’t get your money’s worth there. There are only 3 B.Tech batches that have passed out. Most placement offers are either from the marketing sector or business analysts. Just 5% of the students get job offers in core sectors of their specific streams but with a very low package.
So, it will be better if you don’t keep SRM Sonepat as one of your options.
I have few friends at both IIITM Gwalior and IIITDM Jabalpur. Based on the conversation I had with them, I will say IIITM Gwalior is the better option for CSE.
The faculty at IIITM Gwalior is great. Most of the faculty members have Ph.D. The placement record of IIITM Gwalior is also quite impressive.
Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute.

IIITM Gwalior ranks better than IIITDM Jabalpur on almost all platforms. It also has a better coding culture. You can check the institute ranking on SPOJ to have a better idea about the coding culture on campus.
If you get a chance to join top institutes, do your research and opt for the very best. You will be the one to spend 4 years learning that particular subject. In this case, both IIIT Nagpur and IEM Kolkata are good colleges.
Having known people studying in both IIIT Nagpur and IEM, I can say that IIIT Nagpur was recently established whereas IEM is quite older and has enough experience as an educational institution.

It all depends upon your choice at last. Otherwise, if you feel and want to go for the IIIT tag it’s completely your choice. In the case of IEM Kolkata as it is well established and has a good report and you can go for it without any second thought.
Usually, the placement starts at the end of summer vacation after the 6th semester, around the end of July. Companies start visiting for recruitment from the start of fourth year. Some companies that offer internships to 3rd-year students, may offer pre-placement options to some students. You can expect placement at PES University to start from the 6th semester.
CSE is very good branch to take. Else civil is good branch in terms of government sector openings The advantages of choosing CSE over civil from NIT Raipur are as follows:
In summary, your choice between CSE and Civil Engineering should align with your interests and career goals. If you have a strong passion for technology, programming, and are interested in a field with high growth potential, CSE could be the right choice.
The eligibility for admission in CSE at CUSAT depends on various factors, such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the paper, and the cutoff trends from previous years.

As for the approximate rank, it is difficult to determine the exact rank as the rank is influenced by various factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of students appearing for the exam, and the previous year's cutoff.
