Mechanical Engineering

Well, if you are thinking for best placements, as per my knowledge BITS Pilani is best. LMN Institute of Technology, Jaipur is public private partnership. JECRC is good, but don't know any placements.

The average salary for the placements is Rs 4 to 4.5 Lacs. This is the only salary package provided through campus selections in colleges. But, if you go for public sector companies through your GATE score, then you will have much more appreciable package. For this year there were about 75% placements from mechanical branch in UVCE. The highest placement was from ECE branch about 92%.50% placement was there from EEE branch. But after going through the figures I found that the placement figures are quite well.
