Which college is better in terms of faculty: VIT, Amrita, or Manipal?

AP
Abhay Puri Posted On : July 6th, 2021
Studied at IIM Bangalore (2019)

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.

Which is the best department in B.Tech Amrita?

OK
Om Kashyap Posted On : July 16th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Amrita University (2020)

It depends on your future goals and interests. If you want to pursue a job afterward then CSE will be the best branch for you. It will give you better opportunities than any other branch. You can choose Mechanical if you are interested in the automobile sector. If you are interested in robotics then the ECE branch would be a better option for you.

The CSE branch is good at Amrita University because the college has various types of technical groups like FOSS. This group is dedicated to creating open-source projects and completing various technical projects like Google's summer code. There are a large number of selects for this kind of project as well. If you are interested in security systems then this college has got the number 1 CTF team. If you are interested in programming then there is a dedicated programming group as well. There are a large number of competitions held in these groups. These groups will strengthen your core skills. The faculties of the CSE branch are also quite experienced and cooperative.

Is it better to repeat a year to crack the JEE or take computer science at Amrita Institute, Coimbatore?

AH
Ashmita Halder Posted On : July 3rd, 2021
CS graduate from Amrita University, Amritapuri

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.

Amrita Institute Coimbatore - Placements:

Average CTC

5 LPA

Highest CTC

43 LPA

Major recruiters

Nokia, Oracle India Pvt Ltd, Rober Bosch

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.

What is the procedure/requirements to get into MIT with a master's in B.Tech (mechanical) from Amrita University (Coimbatore)?

JS
Janvi Sinha Posted On : June 28th, 2021
Studied at Amrita University

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.

Can I get CSE in Amrita Coimbatore with 3861 rank? I am from AP.

PS
Prabhas Sule Posted On : July 16th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Amrita University (2020)

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.
