Hello,

Preference should be 1. Placement, 2. academic. 3. faculty 4. Accommodation 5. infrastructure.

In Btech, most important thing is what you learn in 3 years. What knowledge/skill you have so that you can show them to get a job option in 4rth year. A college option with bad placement will make you struggle for years to get a job through offcampus or walk-in.

when college provides good placement then it needs to be you who has to be skilled enough to crack the exam/interview. to be capable enough you have to get trained by the teachers. Interview asks questions from your academic subjects(technical round), written test (aptitude. verbal and logical), group discussion, Managerial round and HR round. Those are all based on skill.

out of all academic is important. so do as per academic-placement.

Hope it helps!
