Thapar University offers a good MCA program. The institute has a brilliant MCA faculty base. It offers good learning resources, and laboratory facilities to meet the requirement of students.
Thapar University placement highlights show the average CTC offered to MCA students is around INR 7 LPA. While the highest CTC offered is around INR 8 LPA. TCS, Infosys, and Fidelity are among the major recruiters in the placement drive.
JNU placements for MCA are good. Some of the major recruiters for MCA are Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, etc. Students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 4-5 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 9-11 LPA.
But JNU is a research-oriented university. If you want excellent placement in the technical field, it will be better to join the top IIT or NIT. You will get better technological exposure at these institutes.

You can’t take the coursework lightly, even if it is a distance learning course.
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.

One of my cousins completed an MCA from IGNOU while doing a job. She shared her experience with me. I have summarised it in points for better understanding:
The Degree Certificate of IGNOU MCA will enable you to appear for an interview
There are regular classes on weekends. But these classes are only on paper so you can skip them.
Students will have to approach self-study only
Projects are only formalities and have no real value
Institutes that run the MCA IGNOU program offer no help when it comes to getting a job.
There is no value of IGNOU MCA in Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc
Apart from this various advertisements in newspapers specifically mention that IGNOU candidates will not be able to apply. So I will not recommend that you complete an MCA from IGNOU.
The MCA course in general is a very demanding subject in the IT industry. You need to keep yourself updated with the latest trends in the industry to match proper excellence.
Some of the top IT companies visit the campus include Oracle, TCS, Genpact, IBM, Byju's, Infosys, Wipro, and many others. Therefore it is totally worth it to pursue an MCA degree from Sanskriti University.
