College is good if you can compromise with campus and college life.

Placements: Placement offers are solid, with strong industry trust. Top MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Atlassian visit regularly. The average package stays high at 20–25 LPA, with a great coding culture and strong alumni support. However, high batch sizes make top-tier roles competitive. Internships are also pretty good.
