What are the job/career prospects after having graduated as an engineer from computer science and engineering department from a private college?

As per conventional norms; you will end up in an IT company with a salary of 3.5-4 lpa! Whats offbeat?! Well, you can do various courses to develop your skills more, skills that fit a specific job profile. You have the option for higher studies and Deepak has very well summed it up... Whatever you do "code, code smart" !!!

Think about the things you do every day: posting status updates, downloading songs, checking your class schedule online . . . Do you think it would be cool to design the technologies that make those devices work better? To invent new ones? To help make people’s lives and jobs easier? Then maybe computer science is the right path for you! But first, let’s set some things straight. Computer scientists aren’t the people you call when your printer stops working. And they don’t sit in dark cubicles all day without talking to anyone. “Whatever you think computer science is, you’re wrong,” says Dianna Xu, chair of the computer science department at http://www.collegexpress.com/college/bryn-mawr-college/1100234/details/ in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. So . . . what is it? Computer scientists use technology to solve problems. They write software to make computers do new things or accomplish tasks more efficiently. They create applications for mobile devices, develop websites, and program software. And you can find them everywhere, from big tech firms and government agencies to startups and nonprofits. “It’s more than everyday computing,” says Liz Burd, Pro-Vice Chancellor in Learning and Teaching at the University of Newcastle in Australia. “It’s building the tools that enable everyday computing.” One of the biggest things computer science majors learn is how to logically think through a problem and find a way to solve it.
