Hi,
I'm assuming that you're already a Biotech student at NSIT. So, the option of switching to COE/IT or related courses is out of reach.
Do biotech students get time for other activities?
Well, that's up to you. No engineering course is so intense that will keep you engaged all the time. The amount of time you can take out for other activities (e.g. programming, at it seems, in your case) is completely in your hands.
A major portion of students get placed in software related profiles (irrespective of their branch). That is good enough indicator of the coding atmosphere in NSIT. There are a number of platforms through which you can enhance your programming skills:
1) Periodic sessions conducted by societies like IEEE, CSI, etc.
2) Facebook groups
3) On the personal front, use challenges at Codechef, SPOJ, etc.
Other than this, you can obviously get in touch with your peers and seniors for guidance.
I don't have enough information to compare between the coding environment of DTU and NSIT.
Regarding NSIT's placement for Biotech in COE/IT related profiles, I suggest you get in touch with your 4th-year biotech seniors and/or students at Placecomm.
All the best.

Greetings from Shiksha.
Computer Science and Engineering are the best Engineering branches of today. IT Sector is growing very much. Thus, generation of jobs also increases.
Talking about the placements of Computer Science Engineering at BMS College of Engineering, it is almost 90% ratio is seen every year.
The average package of CSE Engineering at BMS College of Engineering is around 7 to 9 lakhs per annum.
Many Multinational Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. visit here and offers the good packages to Computer Engineers.
Companies like Wipro, Future Group, Accenture, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Adani group, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Samsung, Qualcomm, etc. takes Students from here.
Since, CSE Branch is best and evergreen, the placement ratio of this branch will also increase in future with good amount of packages by the companies because of the establishment of many IT companies in our country and developing Technologies. Thus, it is good to CSE from good value Institute if one who is interested in this field.

Hi,
Average package of COE branch of NSIT 2016 batch was around 14lacs.
Advice:- Don't look on average package, always ask for median package. Because average package can fool you, because if a person was selected in Google or Facebook or any other company having a big package that would increase the average by a huge amount(for example a student placed in Facebook with a package of 1 crore would drastically increase average package). On the other hand median is the package of the student who was in middle when students are arranged in decreasing/increasing order of package offered to him/her. So this will be a great help for you guys to understand actual stats of placements more clearly.
NSIT is a tier 1 college ,but that doesn't mean it would be having its average package high only few students gets the brilliant package as last year approx 8 student got the package of 1.25cr but they were religious in there studies ,so it totally depends upon your hard work.
Average is a wrong criteria to judge placents. But anyways this year it has been very high owing to 7 google,mtv placements. These have bulked up the average package by around 4.5 lakhs. So the average package for coe should be 12-13 lpa considering this.
All the best.

Comparing the colleges for mechanical engineering, the most part should be considered are the academic curriculum, training of the field as well placement combined.
Comparing the institutes in all those above-mentioned parameters, one should go with PES-Bangalore for mechanical.
The teaching faculty, alumni network and placement statistics of the college is remarkable for the past year.
Although, MS Ramaiah being an autonomous institute is also working and performing hard and hence comparable to PES-Bangalore. The placement statistics for the average package offered are 8 LPA and 7 LPA respectively from PS and MSRIT. Also, the highest being 14 LPA and 12 LPA.
So, here is a brief about the colleges. So, first priority should be PES followed by MSRIT for distance education as well.
Thank you.
Hope it helped.

Production and Industrial Engineering is a very good field of engineering and IIT-Delhi is among the top IITs.
Talking about the placements of PI Engineering at IIT-Delhi, it is almost 100%.
The average package of PI Engineering at IIT-Delhi is around 6 to 9 LPA.
Many multinational companies visit here and offer a good package to quality engineers.
Companies like Reliance Industries, PepsiCo, Glenmark, Wipro, Asian Paints, Sun pharma, Dr.Reddy's, Zydus Wellness, Cadila Pharma, Adani Group, HPCL, BPCL, Lodha Group, Paytm, Ashok Leyland, Tata, GM, CAT, TVS, Geometric, Shell, Fluent, Ashok Leyland, Hero Moto Corp, Bosch group, Honda and Mercedes recruit students.
Since PI Branch is an evergreen branch, the placement ratio of PI branch will also increase in future with a good amount of packages by the companies.
Talking about the IITs, all IITs placement ratio will also increase or the packages will increase because IITs are the topmost engineering institutes worldwide, so many companies will take part in campus placement at IITs for quality engineers.
So, the placement ratio of production and Industrial engineering branch of IIT-Delhi is almost 100% and will remain like with better packages.
Many large scale industries require a good amount of production and industrial engineering in their companies and they are offering very good amount to these engineers.

Vellore Institute of Technology University is located in Vellore and Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal. For computer science branch, both of them are famous colleges which come under top 10 private engineering colleges in India.
However, I would like to suggest you that you should choose Vellore Institute of Technology (main campus) than Institute of Technology because of the following reasons:
1. The fee structure of Manipal Institute of Technology in Computer Science Engineering is about 12 LPA in total whereas fee structure of Vellore Institute of Technology is about 7.5 LPA in total.
2. Faculty of Vellore Institute of Technology is much more experienced and knowledgeable than the faculty of Manipal Institute of Technology as a number of faculties of Vellore Institute of Technology have Ph.D degrees.
3. Manipal Institute of Technology is better than Vellore Institute of Technology in one thing that is infrastructure.
4. Facilities provided by Vellore Institute of Technology is much better than Manipal Institute of Technology.
5. Now, let's talk about the placements:
Average package offered by companies in the Manipal Institute of Technology is about 5 LPA. Highest package offered is about 21 LPA.
Highest package offered is about 27 LPA.
Hope it helps.

If we talk about computer science engineering then there is plenty of scope for jobs whether it is India or overseas. The field of computer science is booming in the present time as the growth in technology and development in IT field is growing very rapidly.
The companies that visit the college campuses are looking for the computer science students eagerly.
If a person is getting good grades in this field and is comfortable with networking, coding or any other thing then the person might get the highest paying job in this field easily. Computer science engineering is a field with lots of opportunities and growth. This field has scope across the whole world.
Companies like Google, Microsoft, TCS, Infosys and many others are constantly looking for the best CSE grads.
As for India this sector is on fire and students who have a great amount of interest in this field can make a career out of it easily.
