I recently got my bachelor's, and I have friends who attended all of the above-mentioned colleges, and with that, I'm telling you don't opt for any of them. Try to get into a tier 2 or tier 1 college. If you still are not able to do that, then go for St. Xavier's (Autonomous); don't opt for St. Xavier's University—it's not as great as it seems; the placement system is lucrative. And whatever you do, wherever you go, just for God's sake, don't go to Techno India.
