CUSAT has got only two campuses out of which SOE (School of Engineering) is considered to be the priority institution for the students aspiring admission in CUSAT and the curriculum is at par with IITs/NITs.
SRM has comparatively more seats in different disciplines of UG level.
Hence, the overall development of the students in Govt funded colleges, packages V/s the cost of study are the other parameters while selecting between a Govt University or a self-financed deemed university.
Your preference order should be SRM>Manipal>KIIT. However, you should choose one of these institutes according to your preference and requirements. SRM and Manipal are quite expensive. But these institute offers an enviable campus experience.
On an overall scale, SRM main campus will be the best choice. SRM University placements 2021 had the highest CTC of INR 35 LPA.
One of my cousins graduated from SRM University and here are some of the things I got to know from him, regarding your question.
Do check the official website of the college to get an elaborate view of the faculty profiles. It is a local university thus their scope and reach is limited.
SRM medical college of SRMIST Chennai does offer scholarships to meritorious MBBS students. Here is a list of the merit scholarships offered by the college-
I would recommend you consult the college authorities for more details on these scholarships.
CUSAT is not a good option for core branches i.e. Mechanical, Civil, ECE or EEE. I am saying this out of personal experience. No core companies visit for Civil placements, and hardly 1-2 companies visit for Mechanical.
SRM gives its students the opportunity to sit for core companies like L&T. At CUSAT, core branch students are ultimately forced to sit for mass recruiters like BYJU’s, Wipro or TCS, or to try for off campus placements or competitive exams. But for CS/IT, Safety and Fire, and Ship Tech, CUSAT is a good option. The placements for these branches are quite good at the college.
CUSAT is a great option for its flagship courses, but if you want to study a core branch, choose SRM University.
Choose MSIT if you want to prioritize degree value over cost. Otherwise, go with SRM. MSIT CSE placements are excellent, but if you live in a politically neutral environment with large campuses, consider SRM, Chennai.
Technical societies, such as IEEE, are very active, and if you are fortunate enough to be a part of them, it is better for you in terms of placement and 'knowledge building.
If you are serious about expanding your knowledge, there are a few amazing teachers as well as seniors who can assist and guide you. It is entirely up to you to make the most of the available opportunities.
For pursuing a CSE degree, one should choose SRM University over NMIMS as the latter is more reputed for its MBA courses. Here are the reasons to pursue B.Tech CSE from SRM University Chennai:
