It's tough to find a college in Jharkhand that promises you'll definitely get a great job after graduation. No school can really promise that. But, I can tell you about some good colleges that usually have pretty good placement results and fit your budget.

1.Birla Institute of Technology(BIT), Mesra (Ranchi )

Known for its strong placement success, BIT Mesra provides diverse B.Tech programs (Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, etc.). While fees depend on the specific program, they are usually within your range. It's best to confirm current fees on their website. They have a very effective placement cell that brings in many leading recruiters.

2.National Institution of Technology (NIT), Jamshedpur

Another excellent option in Jharkhand is NIT Jamshedpur, known for its strong placement history and diverse B.Tech programs. As a central government institution, its fees are generally more reasonable. It also has a very effective placement cell.

3.Government College of Engineering, Ramgarh

Being a government college, the fees are significantly lower, making it an accessible option. While placement records might not match those of NIT or BIT, it's still a valuable choice, especially for students seeking budget-friendly education.

4. Cambridge Institute of Technology, Ranchi

This institute, a private option, has established a good reputation in the region. They provide a range of B.Tech programs, with a focus on practical, industry-related skills. Before applying, thoroughly examine their placement history and fee schedule.

I hope this helps.

Hello Palak,

I don’t have personal experiences, but I can provide an honest review based on student feedback, faculty quality, placements, and industry exposure at Amity University for B.Tech/M.Tech in Aerospace Engineering .

Pros:

  1. Decent Infrastructure – Well-equipped labs and research facilities for aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials.

  2. Good Faculty (Mixed Reviews) – Some experienced professors, but many are from general engineering backgrounds, not specialized in aerospace.

  3. Flexible Curriculum – Industry-oriented subjects and electives help in career development.

  4. Industry Tie-ups – Collaborations with ISRO, DRDO, and private aerospace companies like Boeing for projects.

    Cons:

  5. Placement Issues – Aerospace jobs are very limited . Most students switch to IT or general engineering roles due to fewer core job opportunities.

  6. High Fees (Rs. 3-4 LPA) – The return on investment (ROI) is low unless you secure an off-campus job.

  7. Lack of Hardcore Research – Not as strong as IITs or specialized institutes like IIST in terms of research in propulsion, avionics, or space tech .

  8. More Theoretical, Less Practical Exposure – You may need to do internships outside to gain hands-on experience.

    Verdict:
  • If you want to stay in India and work in aerospace , consider IIST, IITs, MIT Manipal, or UPES instead.

  • If you want a private university with decent exposure , Amity is fine , but you must plan for higher studies (M.Tech/MS abroad) or transition into software/IT for better opportunities.



    I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
