Choosing between computer science engineering (cse) at JSS, AKG Or kIET depends upon several factors:
JSS academy of technical education: known for good academic performance and infrastructure and have decent placement records. Average package around rupees 4-6 LPA with companies like TCS, wipro etc. Active campus life with various clubs and activities.
Ajay kumar garg engineering college : praised for its faculty and academic rigor . Strong placement records and industry connection. Average package around rupees 4-5 LPA with companies like Amazon, infosys etc. Excellent infrastructure with modern labs and libraries. Vibrant campus life.
Krishna institute of engineering and technology: consistently ranked among the top private engineering colleges.
