ITM University is one of the emerging top private universities in the country. You might think that this is answer biased but personally I have no associations with any of these universities.
ITM University has grown tremendously in the last 6 years. The guests that the University invites in the convocation ceremony are no ordinary people but an alumnus at the university and you will be surprised to see the names. Here are a few names of the alumni:
Now, let us look at the comparison between the VIT University, Vellore CSE, and ITM University, Gwalior CSE.
Do not join VIT Vellore through management quota paying such a large amount, join only if you make it via entrance exam because it will not be beneficial.
ITM Gwalior provides you with good opportunities at a much lesser fee.
You should prefer CSE at Amrita University (Amritapuri). In terms of academics, placements and exposure, Amrita University is comparably better than VIT. Reputed companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, etc. visit Amrita University placements to recruit students. CSE has a placement rate of around 85%. The salary packages for the branch range from INR 4-28 LPA.

I am a student of B.Tech IT at VIT Vellore. According to me, VIT Vellore is a better option for IT as compared to MAIT because of the following reasons-
VIT Vellore offers top class infrastructure and opportunities for its students. The campus is visited by top recruiting companies each year because of which IT placements are quite good for VIT. These companies offer good packages to students during placements. The college offers ample exposure to IT students in the form of internship offers, training offers, and student exchange programs. The IT companies that visit VIT Vellore for placements are- TCS, Wipro, Infosys, and Cognizant, among others.
Thus, I would recommend you join VIT Vellore for B.Tech IT instead of MAIT.
Before choosing the institute, you should decide on the branch. Among Computer Science and Mechanical choose what interests you and decide the institute based on that.
If you really have a flair for computer science and you love learning coding languages then Amrita University is the best for you. Apart from high rank, the university consists of many clubs that can help you in learning various domains and make you a perfect master in the field. Also, the infrastructure of the college is appealing with excellent facilities being provided to all the students including labs, library, and well-qualified faculty.
Here is a brief outline of the two institutes.

So, choose the branch first and decide on the college based on that.
It depends on your interest. If you are well aware of EIE and have an interest in the branch then choosing VIT will be better. However, if you want to play it safe then go for CSE//ECE in Amrita University.
I have a few friends from Amrita University, and according to them the rules are very strict and the curriculum is also a bit challenging. The exams of Amrita University are generally very tough and you will have to work very hard to clear all the exams.
According to the placement highlights of recent years, the average and highest CTC offered at VIT are 6 LPA and 39 LPA. While at Amrita the median CTC offered is 3.5 LPA.
I will advise you to do your own research on the branches and make a well-informed decision.
A few of my friends are pursuing CSE at Amrita University and here are some tips according to their experience -
Considering many reviews that Amrita University is not up to the mark, it is suggested to drop one year and prepare well so that you can get a good seat at NIT at least.
You can try BITSAT as well. But don’t spoil your future by going into any college, which you will regret throughout your life.
Categories | ECE at VIT | CSE at Amrita University |
Course Fee | 7.83 lakh | 13.10 lakh |
Highest CTC | 21 LPA | 25 LPA |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 4.8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Infosys, Byju’s, Capgemini, Oracle, etc. | Wipro, TCS, Dell, HCL, etc. |
However, make the right choice. It is suggested you opt for better colleges and drop out and prepare for the exams this year. So that there will be a chance of getting into a better college.
AMU is better than VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar in many respects. AMU offers top notch facilities like these private colleges, but its fees are way less in comparison.
Here are the goods and bads of joining AMU-
Aligarh Muslim University is a more reputable brand in comparison to private colleges, and its education is much more affordable. You must work hard and get a good rank to get admission into AMU.
Both institutes are considered to be reputed engineering colleges. Though studying at PEC Chandigarh I realized it will be a better option. Following are the facts which make it better than the other institutes -
