Vellore Institute of Technology - [VIT University], Vellore - associated department

Comparably MIT Manipal is better.

• The admission procedure at MIT is transparent. They declare the cutoff for each branch after each round of counseling.
• MIT has a smaller batch size. The total number of seats for UG is 2040. Each branch has a proportionate number of seats. 
• MIT Manipal placements are better. As per the recent placement highlights, the average CTC and highest CTC offered to the students were INR 7.50 LPA and INR 43 LPA. Around 50 Fortune 500 companies visited the campus placement.

Although MIT charges a higher course fee, the return on investment is better. 

Among these, Amrita is the better option. It follows a rigorous curriculum that is at the same level as IITs and top universities from around the world. The student crowd is competitive. Amrita has an amazing coding culture. It organizes Hackathons and coding competitions regularly. 

If you are interested in a circuital branch-like CSE, EEE, ECE, AI, etc. you can get good placement opportunities. Amrita School of Engineering placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 5.8 LPA, while the highest CTC offered was INR 56.95 LPA. 

To be honest, BIT Mesra is the dream college of many while VIT Vellore is only considered a backup in case they don’t make it to the top colleges. BIT Mesra is the best private engineering college in India second only to BITS Pilani. Here are a few points that support my stance

• A high number of students were selected for JEE Advanced.
• Excellent infrastructure and campus facilities make the ambiance vibrant and comfortable.
• The institute enjoys an excellent placement scenario. BIT Mesra's average package 2022 stood at INR 13.01 LPA while that at VIT Vellore stood at INR 8.19 LPA.
• The admission to BIT Mesra is based on the merit of JEE Mains through JOSAA's counseling.
• The institute has a record of having some of the best and most highly experienced faculty.

One of my friends had to choose between these two institutes and eventually went for BIT Mesra. He claimed that it had a better alum network, better placement records, better global recognition, and a coding culture. Now it’s up to you to make an informed decision!

On the basis of placements, I would rank the aforementioned institutes in the following order

Bits Pilani, Pilani Campus>|IT H>Bits Goa>Bits Hyderabad>Top 3 Nits>|IT Delhi/NSUT>DTU

BITS Pilani has a better placement scenario than IIIT Hyderabad although its average package is less than IIIT Hyderabad, this is because BITS has a number of branches and the average package is calculated after considering the packages of all branches whereas IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches ie CS and ECE. Both these branches are top branches so automatically its average package becomes higher than BITS Pilani. If you compare the placements of the CS branch alone, BITS Pilani will have the upper hand. However, if you want to pursue a career in research in CS, ten choosing IIIT Hyderabad will offer better opportunities. Basically, IIIT Hyderabad will make you a better coder whereas BITS Pilani will make you a better engineer.

It's important to note that the above ranking is based on placements alone and if you consider the research culture, then NITs will fare better than BITS mainly because they are government institutes and receive huge funds solely for the purpose of research.

VIT Vellore is better. It is among the top engineering colleges in the region. It has a wonderful campus, good infrastructure, and a decent placement record. The departmental laboratories are well-equipped with rare equipment such as AFM, STEM, XRD, etc. VIT has a digital library with a huge collection. 

The highest CTC offered during VIT Vellore placements 2022 was INR 75 LPA. Paypal, DE Shaw, and Dyte were some of the major recruiters to take part in the placement drive. The placements are especially good for branches such as CS, ECE, IT, Mechanical, etc.

Among these, Amrita University is better for studying CSE. It has a well-structured campus and offers decent facilities to students. Amrita University placements are good for CSE. Each year around 85% of students get placed through the campus drive. The salary packages offered are in the range of INR 3.5 LPA - 35 LPA. Google, Infosys, Microsoft, etc. are among the major recruiters.
