A rank of 3861 is not enough for getting a seat in CSE at Amrita University, Coimbatore. The points below provide a brief overview of the chances of getting a CSE seat on other campuses.

• In the Coimbatore campus of Amrita University, CSE is the department to get its seats filled first. So, there are no chances for you if you are from Andhra Pradesh.
• However, if you are very much interested in Computer Science, you can try for the Amritapuri campus.
• A rank of 3861 is somewhat close to the closing rank of CSE at the Amritapuri campus for students from other states. So, you have few chances of getting a seat at the Amritapuri campus too. But, you should apply for counseling as there are some chances left.

Therefore, it is very much clear that such a rank is not enough for CSE at Amrita University, Coimbatore, but may fetch a seat in the last rounds of counseling at the Amritapuri campus.

Amrita University is a deemed university whereas SSN is an autonomous institute in Chennai, affiliated with Anna University. I have friends in both universities and according to their first-hand experience, Amrita has a slight edge over SSN. While both colleges offer good quality education, here are some reasons why you should prefer Amrita University.

• Amrita University is one of the country’s top deemed Universities. It has a syllabus and curriculum which is on par with IITs and NITs.
• Especially if you want to pursue CSE, consider studying at Amrita University’s Amritapuri campus. There you can grab some great opportunities for CSE if you are willing to work hard.
• You will also get a lot of research activities going on at Amrita University that might help you with higher studies if you are planning to.

Overall, both the colleges are great in terms of education and facilities. However, Amrita University is the best choice when it comes to TNEA colleges except for Anna University, Guindy. At the end of the day, all that matters is your hard work and passion for the subject.

My brother completed his B.Tech from Amrita University and trust me, getting into top US universities is not an easy job even after trying hard. You need to maintain the following profile to get into MIT or any other top US varsity.

• Good GPA: 9.0+
• Good GRE scores (For MIT 336+)
• Good TOEFL Score (For MIT 115+)
• High-level projects that are relevant to your opted research field
• A good number of Journals or international conference publications or presentations.
• Relevant work experience at some Core Company may be preferred.

Maintaining such a profile is quite tough especially in universities like Amrita University. It is a fairly new university and has a great Mechanical Dept but the emphasis on research is pretty narrow, mostly limited to Standard research in Robotics and Automobiles. High-level projects and research is not that remarkable as you can achieve in IITs which might help you get into MIT.

This is really a personal question because if you are confident about yourself and determined enough, then you can certainly repeat another year to crack JEE (Mains) the next year and get into some of the coveted IITs or NITs. Definitely, they will have superior peers, placements, facilities, and many other things.

If however you are unsure of yourself and do not want to repeat another year, then certainly Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amrita University) at Ettimadai, Coimbatore will be a good option for pursuing computer science (CS). You could also consider the Amritapuri, Kerala campus of the university which is known better for its CSE program. The reasoning for the same is as follows.

• The cybersecurity club of the campus, bi0s, was ranked number 1 for two consecutive years by CTFtime.org.
• The FOSS club of the campus finished in the top 10 worldwide in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) in 2016.
• The course and facilities are also comparable to some NITs. The placements are also good.

Finally, if you are OK with not getting IITs or some top NITs and can get with that then Amrita University is a good option. If you want more then you can certainly drop another year.

You can go to Amrita University without any doubt. Being a new generation college, people now think differently and do not opt for Government colleges just for their reputation.

A lot of my friends recently graduated from NIT Trichy in CSE while some who graduated from Amrita University are doing quite well.

According to my friend at Amrita, the environment is free and lenient. Furthermore, recently he won the 4th hackathon with his peers (team of 4) and his team was different in all 4 hackathons.

I hope it would be easier to come to a clear conclusion of which college to opt for. Choose Amrita if you aren’t getting your desired branch in IITs, NITs, or BITS. But, if you opt for Amrita University I assure you, you won’t regret it.

One of my cousins studied at Amrita University. According to him, the faculty members at Amrita are really good. Many of them work across different research centers, departments, and multiple campuses. I would clarify that I do not have much knowledge about the faculties at the other mentioned colleges and thus won’t be able to provide any insights.

• Having said that, faculties are just a part of our studies and do not constitute the whole studies themselves.
• They contribute to our studies but the major part of it depends on us as students.
• They won’t be looking after or spoon-feed the syllabus like in school. They will teach you and guide you, it is your responsibility to learn whatever is being taught.

You should also get engaged with peer groups and other extracurricular activities out of your sheer interest and self-motivation. This plays a very important role as well as provides a lasting impression.
