Which college is better for CSE, GL Bajaj or LNCT Bhopal?
Here is some information about CSE at GL Bajaj-
100+ companies visit the GL Bajaj campus every year. More than half of its CS students are successfully placed in good companies each year. It offers good infrastructural facilities- a Big Data Lab, iOS Lab, Microsoft Innovation Center, etc.
GL Bajaj is a great choice for CS and IT. With good aptitude and confidence, you are sure to get placed from its campus. But while LNCT offers scholarships to SC/ST/OBC students, this relief is not offered by GL Bajaj.
Considering everything, I would recommend you choose GL Bajaj for your CS degree.

Which college is the best JBIMS or SIMSREE in terms of placements for a marketing specialization as a fresher?
There is a difference between JBIMS and Sydenham. But we need to understand it from different viewpoints.
When it comes to admitting students, at least for this year, the process is the same. Someone with a 99.9+ will get JBIMS and someone with a 99.8 will end up with Sydenham. The difference between 99.8 and 99.9 in terms of ability and aptitude is negligible. One person got a few more questions correct on that particular day. That's it.
So if you look at the top students of JBIMS and top students of Sydenham, the difference is barely perceptible. JBIMS has been in the top ranks for a long time and will continue to do so. I don't really see Sydenham taking that position. If JBIMS moves out of CET centralized process, then yes, Sydenham will be the top institute purely through CET. There is a difference in the environment. There is something about JBIMS that makes it stand out from all other MS offering institutes and I think it is the kind of work alumni have done in the industry and the fact that some of the professors teach only at JBIMS. They will not go to other places. Yes, there are a few who teach at both JBIMS and Sydenham. Maybe, because of this reason, every year, you will find at least 4-5 students of SIMSREE taking CET again and trying for JBIMS.

My son got IIM, but he wants to achieve Allahabad or Bangalore so he want to prepare another more year. Is it a correct decision?
It is not a wise decision to waste another year preparing for IIM Allahabad or Bangalore because the profiles of students in the top 10 colleges in India are very similar. It is better to have a strong profile and work one's way up to the top management roles in the industry.
It is more important to focus on your profile and career growth rather than the college's brand value. It is not worth risking another year to secure admission to a particular college, especially when there is no guarantee of success.
You can get into a top 30 college and do decently, but I know of people from non-IIM colleges who are in top management roles in investment banking and top tech companies. Your success is not solely determined by the college's brand value.
You should not waste time and energy chasing a college's brand value and it is essential to focus on building a good profile and working towards one's career goals. An example is Indra Nooyi, who came from XLRI, which emphasizes that success is not determined by the college's brand value.
