Is it better to go to NIT Srinagar than VIT Vellore?

A
Admin Posted On : May 15th, 2024

As a student of VIT Vellore, I find myself eligible to only comment on my college.

VIT Vellore is a private college with top class infrastructure and other facilities. It is ranked highly in the NIRF 2023 engineering rankings, at 11th position. The infrastructure of VIT is top notch, with well equipped and modern laboratories.

VIT offers really good IT placements, and the college faculty is highly qualified and experienced. The students at VIT are given plenty of opportunities in the form of internships, student exchange programs, and training offers. 

Apart from all these pros of joining VIT, the con is that its fees are quite high. The fee structure is divided into several categories, and is different for each engineering branch. But the minimum academic fee is approx. INR 2 lakh for the first year (excluding hostel and mess charges).

Here is a detailed video on VIT Vellore for your reference-

Despite its high fees, VIT offers good infrastructure, faculty, academics, extracurriculars, placements, and brand name. This is why, I would recommend you consider VIT Vellore for your engineering studies.

Which is better for CSE, SSN Chennai, Coimbatore Institute of Technology, or VIT Chennai?

GK
Gautam Kumar Posted On : January 27th, 2021
B.E. Computer Science and Engineering, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

A friend of mine recommended me CIT as it is the oldest and a government-aided research institute. CIT was started much earlier than SSN. Needless to say, the institute has much more facilities to offer you as it is the most trusted. 

Here are some basic information about the three institutes:

Category

SSN Chennai

CIT

VIT

Placement Companies

Amazon, Facebook, L&T, Google, Hyundai

Amazon, Infosys, L&T, Toshiba, Renault Nissan

Microsoft, Udaan, PayPal, Amazon

Average CTC

6 LPA 

4.99 LPA

6 LPA

Highest CTC

61 LPA

33.05 LPA

44 LPA

Fees

INR 1 Lakh

INR 1,03,000

INR 57,000 (First Year)

  • If you ask about computer science, SSN and CIT are on the same page. Both the institutes are equally great. If compared on the basis of the CS department, VIT is lagging behind as compared to SSN and CIT. 

  • CIT and SSN are more affordable as compared to VIT as it is a deemed University. 

  • SSN has the best infrastructure among the three universities. 

  • In order to encourage research, SSN offers an amount of twenty-five thousand rupees as part of internally funded projects. You can collaborate with top institutes like Anna University or IIT for projects.

  • Though the faculty and quality of teaching at VIT lags behind, it is not the case in CIT and SSN. Both the institutes have a very strong faculty being top institutes.

  • If you are planning to study abroad in the near future, SSN should be your ultimate destination. It is known for providing students with facilities to study all around the nation and the world. 

Though the oldest and the most affordable institute among the three is CIT, if your budget allows, you must go for SSN. It is also located in a metropolitan city. You can keep VIT as a backup option due to issues like affordability, comparatively poor faculty, and lack of enough research facilities.
