IIT

NIT Trichy is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars, and IIT Bhubaneswar is rated 4.2 out of 5 stars by verified students on Shiksha.

IIT Tirupati had around 195 companies participating in placements in 2025–26, with an overall placement rate of about 81%. The official report covers different branches together, so I wouldn't rely on random websites for a separate CSE figure unless IIT Tirupati itself confirms it. If you're mainly looking at CSE and placements, LPU is also worth considering because it offers CSE with different specialisations and a large recruiter network. I'd compare the actual course, placement data, fees and opportunities rather than looking at the IIT tag alone.

IITs usually occupy the top sites because of strong faculty, placement, research record. Still, several NITs and private institutes like BITS Pilani rank very high every year. There may be a slight variation in rankings depending on the criteria that a particular agency uses.

You generally need a rank under 16,000 in the JEE Advanced exam to secure any seat in an IIT under the General category. 

Yes. Your college name can influence access to some opportunities, but it is not the only factor. Strong programming fundamentals, DSA, development projects, internships, communication skills and interview preparation can significantly improve your employability. The key is to start building evidence of your skills early.

IIT Kharagpur will conduct the IIT JAM 2027 exam. The exam is scheduled for February 14, 2027, in two shifts. IIT JAM is a computer-based test conducted for seven papers (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, Geology, Biotechnology, and Mathematical Statistics).

IISc Bangalore is frequently ranked at the very top, especially for research-focused programs. It is known for strong faculty, funding, and lab facilities. If your goal is research or a PhD later, IISc is often considered a slightly stronger choice than most IITs, though IITs tend to have an edge in industry placements.
