One of my friends is doing B. Tech at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, so I can provide you with some information about the college and how it functions. 

In the following table, you will get the placement record of B.Tech at PEC.

The placement percentage of B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College is 93%. In this percentage, all the students who have CGPA above 6.5 are eligible to sit for placement, also included in this. 

Companies that recapture B.Tech students are Exl Services, Alstom, Goldman Sachs, etc. The average package offered to students is below INR 10 LPA. 

Therefore, Electrical Engineering placements for B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, are decent. The package offered to students might be low, but almost every student gets placed.

The average package for a mechanical engineering batch of 2019 was 7 LPA. A friend of mine considered the amount a good return on Investment and recommended BIT Mesra. In the 2019 placement season, about 63 mechanical engineering students bagged jobs in the campus recruitment program. 

Here is an overview of the average pay scale of the last 3 years:

Some of the top companies that visit the campus for recruitment include Caterpillar, Eicher Motors Ltd., Maruti Suzuki Ltd., Hero MotoCorp., Metalsa, Hindustan Motors, Suzuki Powertrain Ltd., Hyundai Motors, John Deere India (P) Ltd., Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., TVS Motor Co, Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Blue Star, NRB Bearing, BPCL, NTPC, Crompton Greaves Ltd., Cummins India, Simplex Infrastructures, DVC, Tata Consulting Engineers Ltd., Electrosteel Castings Ltd, Essar Ltd., Tata Honeywell, Exide Industries, Tata Steel, etc.

• Students that participate in the college’s placement drive will have the opportunity to interact with VLSI specialized companies like AMD and Altera. A
• Although it is important to note that the majority of companies that appear during the recruitment season are usually from the software sector and therefore there is a higher chance of not getting an opportunity to work at a core VLSI based firm.
• Some recruiting companies at IIITM, Gwalior for VLSI are Snapdeal, Samsung, TCS, Amazon, Adobe, Myntra, Practo, Reliance, Cisco, Alcatel, and Google.

The stipend paid varies according to the company but as per the MHRD norms it amounts to Rs 8000. Some students have also received a stipend of Rs 12,400 as per AICTE norms. So it would be ideal to conclude that the stipend ranges from anywhere between Rs 8000 to Rs 12,400.

The total fees for the course amount to 4.23 lacs whereas students are required to clear the GATE exams in order to be eligible for admissions.

IET Lucknow is one of the famous colleges in Uttar Pradesh. Although being a Tier-3 college, it is preferred by students, as it is fully managed by the Government. One of my friends studied here and these are some of the facts I gathered from her about the college.

• Most of the degree holders end up becoming clerks in services-based companies. Their salary packages range from 3-4 LPA.
• There are various mass recruiting IT companies, mostly service-based companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS, etc. which allow the students to sit in campus placements.
• Once the highest package of IET Lucknow was 30 LPA by Amazon and the average package was 7 LPA.
• Consulting seniors about placements will also help you a lot.
• There are no such major opportunities for core placements for the EI branch. 
• But if you want a job in IT services, companies or firms then there are plenty of on-campus as well as off-campus opportunities.

These were some of the basic points you should know about placements. Also last year some of the students were placed in MNCs like DE Shaw, Code Nation, Amazon, Byju's, etc. If you want to prepare for GATE/CAT/GRE, there is a wonderful environment at IET Lucknow. 

IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU is doing really well in all the departments. Whether it is about faculty or infrastructure it is growing steadily and gradually.

But as one wants to take a deeper look in comparing mechanical engineering, EE and ETC, let’s take a look on it:

• The research facility of the mechanical engineering department is quite decent and comparable with EE and ETC.
• It is even better at some aspects like it has research collaboration with some of the renowned foreign universities, some of the excellent facilities etc.
• When IIEST, Shibpur was known as BESU even then the mechanical engineering was considered to be the highest ranking department in one of these three departments.
• Also, one cannot forget to boast of tremendous alumni including a couple of directors of IITs.

• When it comes to placement, the mechanical engineering department has a decent placement record so far.
• ME and EE have almost equal numbers of core placements. And ETC has less core placements but the highest package is grabbed by ETC itself.
• The placement for mechanical engineering is really good though. Core companies such as Maruti Suzuki, CESC, Vedanta, coal India, Tata steel, Bridge and Roof, L&T, elegant marine services come on campus.
• So you can easily expect a very bright future of mechanical engineering graduates from IIEST SHIBPUR.
• After becoming an IIEST the placements have improved and after 5 years it will improve more.
• IIEST, Shibpur has always been known for its excellent core teachings. Also, it has one of the best and oldest labs in the country in EE and Mech which has been improved from time to time.

The college is very good for students interested in any of the three departments as mentioned. All the three mentioned departments are very good in IIEST. The thing that matters is your interest and will.
