According to NIRF ranking 2025, there are about 4 Chhattisgarh colleges ranked under Engineering stream and all of which are government colleges. Admission to these colleges are mainly based on JEE Main and JEE Advanced scores basis.
The top ranked colleges are IIT Bhilai, NIT Raipur, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, and Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee International Institute of Information Technology.
This is a recent change in IIT placement reporting. The IIT placement committee advised IITs in 2024-25 not to publish a single the highest-package figure, to reduce pressure on students. The idea is that one big number can mislead students. Median package gives a truer picture. So you may see fewer top-package claims from IITs now. Use the median when you compare colleges.
Computer Science and Data Science give the best chance. IIT Bhilai recorded 100% placements in its M.Tech DSAI stream in 2025. At NIT Raipur, the top package also went to a CSE student. These branches match what tech companies want today. A lower branch with strong coding skills can also do well. Pick the branch you can enjoy for four years.
