Computer Science And Engineering: Jobs Data

How well do Computer Science Engineering students do across colleges? Careers360 analysed the placement performance of one batch of BTech CSE students who graduated from the top engineering colleges, as ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2024. Data obtained through an RTI application shows that CSE departments across institutions routinely posted the highest – or close to the highest – placement rates in the 2023-24 placement season. The highest of 98 per cent of the registered CSE students secured a job at IIT Jodhpur. With 51.67% per cent, the lowest placement percentage was of IIT Bhilai.

Three top IITs - Delhi, Kanpur and Kharagpur did not share any information about the total students enrolled and so have been omitted from the list of analysis in the graph below. It is based on 2020-21 placement data.

BTech CSE Placement Rates

Just like the electrical department of top engineering colleges across India, the CSE department too had a placement better than the overall placement of each institute.

IIT Madras is the top engineering college as ranked in NIRF 2021, yet its CSE placement percentage was one of the lowest. The only ones to place all registered students were IIT Ropar and two NITs [Surathkal and Calicut].

Out of the 44 students enrolled at IIT Madras, CSE department, 32 students sat for the placement programme in 2020-21 and only 26 CSE students were offered placements.

As per the data shared via the RTI application, IIT ISM Dhanbad had three students more registered for placement than the total enrolled students. This could be due to lateral entry however, there was no clarity in the RTI so, we have used the information as it was provided.

Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Yes, you are eligible for JEE Main 2025 if your Class 12 marksheet indicates "Session Annual Regular 2023."

The eligibility criteria for JEE Main generally require candidates to have passed Class 12 or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as subjects. The specific session or board you appeared for is not a determining factor.

As long as you have completed your Class 12 education in 2023 and have obtained the required marks in the specified subjects, you meet the basic eligibility requirements for JEE Main 2025.

However, it's important to check the official JEE Main information brochure for any specific eligibility criteria or guidelines that may have been introduced for the 2025 exam. Additionally, ensure that you have all the necessary documents, such as your Class 12 marksheet and identity proof, ready for the application process.

Hello aspirant,

The National Testing Agency has made the JEE Main Eligibility Criteria available on its website, jeemain.nta.ac.in. Applicants can verify their eligibility for JEE Main 2025 in its entirety here. All JEE Main 2025 candidates must meet the NTA's eligibility requirements in order to be admitted to GFTIs, IIITs, and NITs.
The JEE Mains exam has no age restriction. Any student who appears in 2025 or who passed the 12th exam in 2023, 2024, or 2025, is qualified.

Thank you

Ideally students starts their preparation for JEE exam from class 10th as 2 years is enough to crack this tough exam.however if you wish to start preparations in class 9th you can do it by your own or taking some coaching classes but i dont recommend coaching at this age because they teach whatever you have taught in 9th class is basic concepts which is no use of in JEE exams .jee exam is only based on 11th and 12th syllabus and have advanced level.so for now try to focus on concepts that build strong base for further classes and participate in olympiads to Sharpen your mind.

The "best" coaching institute for JEE Mains can vary depending on individual learning styles and preferences. However, some well-regarded options include:

  • FIITJEE: Known for its rigorous study material and experienced faculty, FIITJEE is a popular choice for JEE aspirants.
  • Resonance: Offering comprehensive study material and regular tests, Resonance is another reputable institute.
  • Allen Career Institute: Renowned for its strong focus on conceptual understanding, Allen has a high success rate in JEE.
  • Vidyamandir Classes: With a focus on personalized attention and doubt-clearing sessions, Vidyamandir is a good option for students seeking individual guidance.
  • Aakash Institute: Offering a blend of classroom teaching and online resources, Aakash is a versatile choice for JEE preparation.

When selecting a coaching institute, consider factors such as:

  • Faculty experience: Look for institutes with experienced and knowledgeable faculty.
  • Study material: The quality and relevance of study material can significantly impact your preparation.
  • Batch size: Smaller batch sizes can provide more personalized attention.
  • Test series: Regular tests can help you assess your progress and identify areas for improvement.
  • Past results: Check the institute's track record of success in JEE.

Ultimately, the best coaching institute for you is the one that aligns with your learning style and goals. It's recommended to visit different institutes, attend demo classes, and talk to current students to make an informed decision.

Its obvious to have feeling anxious when exam dates are coming closer remember that atleast you have still some time left  in your hand you to prepare and MASTER yourself in subjects. you can clear JEE start from the important topics and your strength subjects finishing these chapters gives you confidence and you will be one step closer to your dream and you have to pay more attention towards revision so that in exam you remember each things easily. Believe yourself you can do it
