Having friends at IEM Kolkata, I can say that this question is similar to the debate between IT and CS.
My friend got PESIT but did not opt for it, instead, he went for IEM. If he had chosen PESIT, he would have to push himself all the time to achieve his goals.
It's difficult to say which program is better for placements as both IEM Kolkata's MBA in Marketing and Globsyn Business School's PGPM-IB have their unique strengths and advantages.
However, you may want to consider some factors before making your decision, such as:
Ultimately, the decision should be based on your individual needs and career goals. It might be helpful to reach out to alumni from both programs to get their insights and experiences as well.
IEM Kolkata and NIT Sikkim are some of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. However, it is difficult to choose between the two as the branches you have mentioned are different. To make a more precise decision, first, decide which branch you want to opt for.

In terms of college, IEM and HIT both provide similar career opportunities in the IT sector. Major recruiters like TCS, Infosys, CTS, Capgemini from the IT sector visit both the institutes.
If you had to pick between the two engineering fields, you should always go with CS. If you select CS, you will be able to apply for a variety of government/public sector positions (ISRO, BARC, IOCL) after completing your B.tech. Only CS guys are qualified to apply for the majority of these government jobs.

Both UEM Jaipur and IEM Kolkata have good placement records. Students belonging to all the branches and streams get assistance in getting placements in the top companies.
There have been a number of instances where students from both UEM Jaipur and IEM Kolkata have appeared in the placement process together but now the placement takes place in the individual campuses. Companies visit the campuses for offering lucrative packages to their students.
Overall, the placement opportunities offered at UEM Jaipur and Kolkata are quite good.
Between IEM Kolkata and SOE CUSAT, the former is the better choice for CS. I have a few friends at IEM Kolkata so I can give you some information about their CS department.

Yes, you are eligible to apply for an MBA course. Technically, you need to have completed your graduation, to get admission to an MBA degree. But students in their final year of graduation can appear in MBA entrance examinations. If you are able to score a decent percentile in the entrance, you will get a provisional admission. Your admission will be final, once you complete your graduation with the required aggregate marks. Your provisional admission will be finalized once your graduation results are declared and you submit the relevant proofs. So, if you have a valid MBA entrance score, you can apply for an MBA program.
