Placement Facts
Manipal University Jaipur:
NIT Jalandhar
Both are Tier-3 colleges and students may choose based on the placement and professional prospects of the program chosen.
Mechanical is an option at NIT Jalandhar.
Although MNNIT Allahabad has a better brand name than NIT Jalandhar, the production branch has many disadvantages when compared to the mechanical branch.
Unless someone specifically mentions Production Engineering, you will have to compete with mechanical students at NIT Allahabad during placements and off-campus interviews. When compared to Mechanical, there are fewer job opportunities.
There may now be one or two PSUs with separate vacancies for Production students. Mechanical paper is required in order to obtain PSUs, which are extremely difficult to crack. GATE is very important for core branches, and Mechanical has a high level of competition compared to other branches. Only if you intend to change your branch after one year should you enroll in NIT Allahabad; otherwise, do not.
Yes, you will get CSE at NIT Jalandhar if you fulfill the Home State quota. But your chances of getting CSE reduce to almost 70% if you are expecting a seat from the Other State quota.

This is the seat allocation statistics of a special round of counselling held this year.
I don't think any of the options stated above are worth it. They will consume more time, and cost you a lot of money and effort. So rather than partial drop, I recommend you only drop the year and fully concentrate on the JEE syllabus. Now you have JEE exams and NEET twice a year which gives you more chances of cracking it. I have listed 4 probabilities and their possible consequences:
Not dropping a year and studying in an NIT and preparing for JEE along with it and not being able to crack it is Waste of time and an excessive study load.
Studying in an NIT and preparing for JEE along and cracking it: Only a waste of money
Fully dropping a year and concentrating entirely only on JEE and not being able to crack it is Waste of time but you are lucky enough to give a second shot the same year.
Dropping a year, fully concentrating on cracking the JEE exams, and cracking it: Your time and efforts are well invested.
The ultimate choice is yours. But dropping a year is better than a partial drop I guess.
The placement figures of Industrial and Production Engineering at NIT Jalandhar keep fluctuating. This is because IPE is slowly losing its demand. But NIT Jalandhar is the hub of good academics and placements. So the best students with excellent academic records and skills get placed irrespective of their branch.
According to recent stats, around 56 offers were made to IPE students at NIT Jalandhar. The placement rate was around 78.13%.
The top companies that visit the campus for IPE placements are:
My Sigma
EXL
ZS
Whirlpool
Nestle
Tata Motors
Subros
Vedanta
Larsen
Toubro
The Median Salary for this year was INR 6.5 LPA.
