Hello,
Getting admission in MCA through lateral entry is a very good decision. The great part of lateral entry is that it will save your 1 precious year and it will make you job ready. The good institutes which offer lateral entry in MCA are:
(1) Amity University, Noida – This indeed is a good university for learning computer applications. Its placement index is also high. For lateral entry admission you have to clear through a certain entrance test.
(2) IMS Noida - This is the well-known university for MCA. Various big companies have recruited the students from this college. You can get admission here with just clearing an entrance exam.
(3) Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi - This is a state government recognized college.
According to me, out of the given good colleges, the best college for MCA lateral entry is GGSIPU because it's a government college which has good number of colleges affiliated to this.

The placements for NIT-MCA are one of the best in the country. Students have bagged offers as high as 60 LPA and the placement percentage usually remains between 90% to 100%. However, this does not mean that you will get an offer in 7 digits salary. Placement packages vary from company to company.
Simply speaking, if you have studied at least what was taught in the class, have cgpa good enough to satisfy the Eligibility criteria of the companies, you have fair chances of getting a good enough job offer.
The MCA course at IIT Roorkee has sadly been discontinued since last year. Last few batches of MCA are going to pass out in the next couple of years. Still I am going to answer the question assuming a hypothetical situation where in the course may get restarted next year.
The placements are a mixed bag. Most companies do not know about the MCA course and hence do not open it. It is up to the placement representative of the MCA batch to educate the Central Placement Team guys about MCA and get as many companies to be opened as possible. You do get to sit for some of the top companies like MS, Amazon, Directi, Inmobi Symantec, Nvidia. I believe even Google opened up this year. So if you have worked hard, you can make something out of it.
I think this completes your question. Please let me know if you want to know anything else.
All the best.

B.Sc is a good course in computer science but if any student wants to do MCA after B.Sc in computer science, it is a better option as compared to M.Sc in computer science. This is because in MCA, a student learns more application-based program, learn more about this field. After MCA one can get better job scope in MNCs or any government jobs. The correspondence course is also a better option to do as at the same time, a student can also prepare for various competitive exams and continue their study in Masters. There are many good colleges which offer MCA course through correspondence such as Sikkim Manipal University, Amity University, SRM, VIT, KIIT, LPU and many other. They also have a good placement record. So, joining MCA course after B.Sc is not a bad decision. After completing MCA course, one can get a job with at least a salary package of Rs. 4 Lacs per annum and it increases with the time duration and experience.
