Harshu Patel Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
Studied at Amrita University

In terms of academics, Amrita University matches the IIT syllabus and course structure. The infrastructure and laboratories are in good condition. The college works closely with businesses and other educational institutions. Many academic activities are being carried out to ensure effective information exchange.

College life is the most interesting part. Amrita University's Coimbatore campus is one of the cleanest in India and spans 500 acres. Amrita is a very diverse campus and a great place to make new friends. There is no such constraint. Cell phones are not permitted in the classroom. However, after leaving the classroom, you can talk to your loved ones. A minimum attendance requirement of 80% must be met, or you must present sufficient justification for your absence. 

Amrita provides free wifi that is typically 0.5Mbps fast. Aside from YouTube, Facebook, and a few other sites, most academic content is available. Everything else is restricted. Only nutritious vegetarian food is served. The menu is adequate for a South Indian restaurant. If you are a traveler, you will have enough vacation time in Amrita to visit all of India in two years. The resident warden must grant permission for the outing. Every time a girl needs an outing pass, she must submit a fax from her parents. You can earn millions if you plan on participating in and winning every cultural event that is held there. It is an excellent world-class platform for showcasing and honing your skills.

This academic year, Atlassian is the employer with the highest salary on offer to Amrita students, with a staggering 52 lakhs offered annually. Microsoft offered 43 lakhs per year in salary, while Cisco hired 27 students at a CTC of 29.18 lakhs per year.

According to the most recent report, the highest and average compensation packages offered during the 2022 placement drive were INR 19.17 LPA and INR 6.72 LPA, respectively. Furthermore, in 2022, 93 recruiters participated in the placement process, placing 261 students in new-age job profiles. Accenture, Adobe, Infosys, EY, KPMG, and others were among Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham's top recruiters in 2022.

Pros of NIT Agartala 

  1. The course fee is much less at NIT Agartala as compared to VIT.
  2. Most students receive merit stipends from the Government.
  3. Students pursuing MTech or PhD from NIT Agartala get stipends as per MHRD whereas in VIT the stipend amount is much less and fixed.

CUSAT or VIT, which is better?

TK
Tina Kumari Posted On : February 12th, 2021
Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2016-2020)

Both of these colleges are good. VIT is the best private engineering college in India. Whereas CUSAT is also a reputed institute. CUSAT is a government college, and VIT is a private college. Thereby, you will get a better facility in VIT rather than in CUSAT.

Hostel Facilities: (Winning Institution - VIT)

However, the hostel facilities are also not up to the mark in CUSAT. But VIT offers good hostel accommodation. But VIT charges a lot for hostels. 

Course Fee & Infrastructure: (Winning Institution - VIT)

  • The education fees for entire engineering courses in VIT are around 16-18 lakhs, including food, lodging, and education fees. In comparison CUSAT charges around 8 lakhs for the same. Thus, VIT is quite costly. 
  • But it can be mentioned that VIT is far better than CUSAT. The better infrastructural facilities in VIT assist the student in their entire courses. Whereas in CUSAT, college infrastructure is not like VIT.

Placement: (VIT ~ CUSAT)

You will get good exposure in both of these institutes. Placement records of both of these colleges are also outstanding. If you work hard, you can bad a decent salary package from the campus placement from any of these colleges. 

The table below gives a brief overview of both institutes. 

Basis

CUSAT

VIT

Highest CTC

INR 15 LPA

INR 41.60 LPA

Average CTC

INR 4.7 LPA

INR 6.05 LPA

Major Recruiters

Cisco, L&T, TCS, etc.

Virtusa, Capgemini, Mindtree, Wipro Turbo, etc.

Ranking 

89 for overall by NIRF’20

28 for overall by NIRF’20

If you want to get better infrastructural facilities and good food and lodging, then you should go for VIT. But CUSAT is more affordable and it is also a good choice with excellent placement statistics.

Is CSE better in NIT Calicut or VIT?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I have friends in both institutes, NIT Calicut and VIT Vellore. Based on their experiences, NIT Calicut is a much better choice. Although the institute does not have many permanent faculty and the faculty pool comprises only temporary and assistant professors. However, the other pros overshadow this flaw and make NIT Calicut a preferable choice to VIT.

  • There are very minimal restrictions imposed on the students. Only the first-year students have to follow the 7 pm curfew rule, not the second year everyone is free.
  • NIT Calicut has well-equipped and designed computer labs with modern instruments. The BTech CSE students get to use high-tech software systems labs.
  • As for the placements anyone who is talented and has the skills can get placed with excellent packages. 
  • NIT Calicut is the best South Indian NIT in terms of food quality and taste.
  • NIT Calicut fees are much lower than VIT because the former is a government college while the latter is a private college. So BIT Calicut offers a better ROI.
  • NIT Calicut organizes some of the best fests in South India. These are Tathva, the Technical fest, and Ragam, the Cultural fest. 

Both the colleges will offer great opportunities so the final decision will depend on your personal preferences

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 16th, 2023

VIT Vellore has much much better scope than VIT Pune and is also ranked better than BUT Pune. However, the VIT Pune curriculum is much better. So if you want an in-depth knowledge of the branch you should consider VIT Pune but if you are looking for a better placement scenario, then VIT Vellore it is.

Ultimately, it’s not the college but your efforts that matter.

Between an M.Sc chemistry in BITS Hyderabad and CSE in VIT, which is better?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : December 22nd, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Based on mine and my friends’ experiences, here are some points I would like for you to consider in this regard-

  1. The branch should always be your top priority. For a dual degree in CSE at BITS Hyderabad, you’ll need to score more than 7.6 CG. That would mean an average +30 in most subjects (relative grading). Phoenix Dual is a better option than VIT CSE.
  2. Dual degree will take away a lot from your campus life. You won’t be able to enjoy clubs and events to the fullest.
  3. BITS Hyderabad undoubtedly has a better crowd quality. Moreover, it carries the prestigious ‘BITS’ tag.
  4. BITS will give you a more quality campus experience with better academics.

The decision has to be made by you, but I hope that these points will guide you. Whatever you choose, make sure to maintain a good academic performance in college, so that you end up getting decent job offers.

Which is better VIT or Tezpur University?

AC
Anupam Chatterjee Posted On : October 20th, 2021
Studied at Vellore Institue of Technology

One of my cousins was in the same situation. He had very few options, mainly VIT, Tezpur University, and few NITs. He did some research and found that Tezpur University is considered the best central government institute. After talking to some students of the institute he also learned that the institute is great although the placement rate is not that good. It is a decent option if you want to pursue research. 

His focus was placements. So, he chose VIT, Chennai and now he is a proud alumnus of the institute. 

Here is a brief comparison of Tezpur University and VIT.

Parameters Tezpur University  VIT 
Course fee  2.11 lakhs  7.83 lakhs 
Average CTC  3.5 LPA 6.39 LPA 
Highest CTC  14 LPA  44 LPA 
Major recruiters  HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank HP, Infosys, Microsoft

So, choose an institute based on what you want out of your degree.

Which is better - NIT Durgapur Metallurgy or VIT Vellore CSE?

SD
Sharad Dev Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in Chennai

As a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I was also faced with the same dilemma.

First of all, there is a ragging culture at NIT Durgapur. It does carry the NIT, but it lags behind the top NITs. Apart from that, Metallurgy does not offer much scope in India. 

The placement figures mentioned on their website, however, are quite promising. 

During the 2023 placement season, MME recorded 90.32% placements with an average package of 8.79 LPA.

Now coming to VIT Vellore, there is no ragging on campus. It offers all the top-class facilities, great environment and friendly crowd. CSE is the best branch of VIT Vellore. The college offers good placements and infrastructure.

According to me, choosing CSE at VIT Vellore is a better option.
