Having known some people studying in both these colleges, I can share some information about them. This might help you make a decision.

Categories | YMCA Faridabad | DCRUST Murthal |
Placement Percentage | 80% | 70-80% |

Average CTC | 12 LPA | 4-5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, TCS, etc. | Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Fidelity, Jindal Iron and Steel, etc. |
Both the colleges are more or less good to pursue your studies. Though it is suggested that if placements are your primary concern, go for YMCA. DCRUST will help you more with research-based knowledge.
For a B.Tech in CS or IT, YMCAUST, Faridabad is better. It has a better CSE faculty. The placement and exposure offered are also better than DCRUST, Murthal. Better CS/IT companies visit YMCA, Faridabad placements. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest CTC offered is around INR 29 LPA.
You can get a branch change at NIT Kurukshetra, after the first year. But for that, you’ll have to work hard and be among the toppers in your branch.
Even if you end up in Production, it has good opportunities in PSUs. But for that, you’ll have to crack GATE with a good rank. For example, ONGC offers really good vacancies for Production Engineers who have cracked GATE. Campus recruitment scenario isn’t that great for core jobs, but you’ll have some options in the NIT campus.
I recommend you study hard and get a branch transfer to COE/IT at NIT Kurukshetra. However, even if that doesn’t happen, you can sit for GATE. Also, there’s core and non-core jobs that you can get through campus placements.
YMCA Faridabad is better than UIET Chandigarh. It has an impressive placement record. It is also widely recognized in the industry. The coding culture of the institute is pretty active. Recent YMCA Faridabad placements concluded with the highest CTC of INR 29.92 LPA. Top recruiters’ list included names such as Samsung, HCL, Flipkart, etc.

Apart from placements, you can consider other factors like location, campus, society, etc Overall, NIT Kurukshetra is a much better choice than YMCA.
You should prioritize your interest in the subject and the culture of the institute, not the tagline. There is nothing to do with the tagline here. Try to figure out your interest and go ahead with it. Both institutes are highly reputed in India and are excellent at academics, infrastructure, and faculties.
So, choose the institute based on your preferences.
IIEST Shibpur will be a better choice than YMCA because it is an old institution. The college provides better placement opportunities than YMCA. IIEST has got 20th rank among top institutions. It has been ranked 7th among the top research institutions.
If you are living in Faridabad and do not want to relocate then it will be a problem. Otherwise, you should choose IIEST Shibpur as it has got a better infrastructure, faculty members, and a learning curriculum.
There is no such branch as IT in YMCA. You will have to select the CS branch in YMCA and for that, you will have to score a rank of 200 in AIEE which will be difficult for you. And if you can score the rank then you can easily crack IIT and move to other good colleges.
No, PEC Chandigarh is way ahead of YMCA UST. PEC has a higher cutoff, hence a better student crowd. It also has a smaller batch size, so every student gets the required attention. PEC Chandigarh placements are better. The average and highest CTC for the institute are INR 10.83 LPA and INR 42 LPA, respectively.
Situated in Chandigarh, PEC also has a locational advantage. You will receive better exposure.
YMCA Faridabad will be an excellent choice to pursue CSE. The institute offers great placement opportunities. Some of the best companies visit the campus like Infoedge, Samsung, Infosys, IOCL, Amazon, TCS, Cadence Design Systems, and more.
NIT Manipur has top placements in the CSE branch, followed by ECE. It will give you the NIT Tag and exposure. You can get a chance to sit in pool placements.
The fee and placement details are as follows:
Criteria | YMCA Faridabad | NIT Manipur |
Fee | INR 2.96 Lakhs | INR 5.51 Lakhs |
Average Package | INR 6 LPA | INR 8.21 LPA |
Highest Package | INR 28.75 LPA | INR 42.5 LPA |
The return on investment (ROI) of both the colleges is well with great packages. The drawback of NIT Manipur is the distance and language barrier. Overall, considering all the above points, you can make a choice.
