Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) - East Delhi Campus: This is one of the respected institutions in technical and professional courses, and the campus is relatively new but gaining recognition for specializing in Automation and Robotics, which is not readily available in many of the institutions in Delhi. While GGSIPU is undoubtedly well-placed in matters of infrastructure, teaching quality, and industry-centric curriculum when compared to others operational in Delhi targeting aspirations of the engineering and technology focused degrees; there also exists, of course, more established institutes across the country; IIT Delhi and DTU currently standing at a notch higher than the rest regarding research output, faculty reputation, and wider alumni networks.

NRAI School of Mass Communication have a very active placement cell. But, there is no information about it's the highest package on its official webiste or anywhere else on the internet.

On the other hand, MasscoMedia has no placements statistics available on their official website. After it's affiliation shift from PTU to CCS University, the institute hasn't been very active with offering good placements.
