Which is better in terms of placements, SCT Trivandrum or a private college like Rajagiri, FISAT or SCMS?

It entirely depends on the branch that you are choosing. If you go for CSE then all the colleges SCT, RAJAGIRI, FISAT, SCMS have good placements opportunities. But in the case of other branches, Kerala colleges have a low level of placement except for NITs and IITs.

Good placements are available only for software firms and not for your core jobs. All the colleges above are good and will help you to attain the skills required for different jobs.

And everything depends on you how much effort you will give to your course so that you can obtain experience as well as knowledge so that you can get a good job apart from your college placements

Amrita has the best and largest campus amongst these colleges. The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Amrita	5 lakh	5.4 lakhs	43.33 lakhs
Amal Jyothi	3.97 lakhs	2.9 lakhs	7.5 lakhs

Academics: (Winning Institution - Amrita University)

The syllabus and especially the question paper is not the traditional type but rather stimulates you to think.
They have a much advanced, updated curriculum and it is possible because they don’t come under any university and hence have the liberty to mold according to the latest industry standards.

Placement: (Winning Institution - Amrita University)

It is not easier to get placed from Amrita because you study in Amrita does not mean you will get high placements because the crowd in Amrita is more competitive.
All those who missed out on JEE come to Amrita. Top companies like Microsoft, Facebook, CISCO recruit only from Amrita out of those mentioned.

Campus Life: (Winning Institution - Amrita University)

The clubs in Amrita are almost international, as it conducts the prestigious ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest). Which itself is a benchmark to look for, acknowledging non-premier institutes like IITs, NITs, and BITs.
The clubs in Amrita are more diverse and active. It's tech-fest ANOKHA is also much better.

If you don’t have a blend with a very diverse crowd go for Amrita. Going by all the factors mentioned above, it is safe to say that Amrita University is a better alternative.
