Instead, it is commonly compared to colleges like IIITDM Jabalpur which has got a higher ranking. The ranks from various sources say JEC is ranked as the leading engineering college in Jabalpur, and some also stand at second rank; they vary from different sources' criteria and assessment. As such, these ranks may be crucial to note among future students for the ranking consideration combined with placement statistics and curriculum offerings.

The placement of B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at Jabalpur Engineering College is on a higher side, since almost 75% of students have been placed here. The highest package this time is offered was to INR 11 LPA while the average stands to be approximately INR 4.41 LPA. Recruiters are mostly like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others. However, there has been a question of effectiveness about the placement cell because it fails to bring in the top-tier companies in a consistent manner. As this is a relatively new specialization, students are encouraged to improve their skills independently to make themselves more employable in a competitive job market. 

The M.Tech course in Jabalpur Engineering College is moderately challenging. The entry to the course is through GATE qualification; however, non-GATE candidates also get in based on merit if the GATE-qualified students are not available. The curriculum often is criticized for being outdated, which would make the students less ready for the industry demands. However, the exam pattern is very soft, so students can easily pass with minimal preparation. Although the college provides many specializations, the placement opportunities are not so good as very few companies visit for recruitment, and thus students have to develop their skills by themselves to achieve success after graduation.
