Amazing facilities, great faculty, and student life.

Placements: From what I've heard from seniors, placements are decent, with most students getting tech jobs. Few opt for core roles. Students who opt to pursue a Master's degree are excluded from the placement pool, and so are those who get placed through an off-campus internship.

A good college. It can be taken as an option, but only if you are financially stable.

Placements: Easily, more than 75% of students get placed. The highest package is about 56 LPA, and the average and median packages are 13.5 LPA and 12 LPA, respectively. MIT has nearly all major companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, etc., offering roles such as Senior Developer positions. In fact, multiple students get good opportunities through placements.

Quite satisfied except for the high fees.

Placements: Placements are quite good this season. Being a part of the placement team, I know about the ECE placements. The average package is around 10–15 LPA. Extraordinary students are able to secure packages above 40 LPA. I definitely believe that the CSE placements are even better.

The median is 11 LPA, and the highest is 61 LPA. For internships, the average stipend is 43.6 K per month, and the highest is 1.25 lakh per month. Overall, it is pretty good.

Worth it if focused on goals. Strong placements & top-tier infrastructure in India.

Top recruiters include TCS, Microsoft, Uber, and Infosys. Almost 70-80 percent of students get internships in their last year of college, as it is a part of the industrial training programme.
