I have a few friends at GRIET, so I can give you some information about the institute.
Sreenidhi also has drawbacks but it is slightly better than GRIET.
It is suggested not to go with either of the colleges mentioned in the question. They offer a mundane college life without any enthusiastic approach towards academics as well as extracurriculars. If you want your college life to be like that then join VNR or GRIET.
Although, many people consider VNR to be better in comparison with GRIET. Microsoft is one of the only good companies that recruit students enrolled in VNR.
My advice for you would be to just live away from your home and get enrolled in a decent University. This way, you can learn a lot about life and what it's like to be out of your comfort zone for a long period.
You can improve your communication skills and learn to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language which you do. You will meet people of different backgrounds and who belong to different cultures and traditions.
Go out and explore all the opportunities that the world has in store for you. No matter what happens, you will be able to learn a lot about life during your college years.
Every college is unique and different in its own way. I think it’s a bad idea to make a comparison among colleges. The college in which you study does not matter much if you are passionate about pursuing your interests and goals. Every college has its own way of standing out.
Some of the pros of CVR are:
Apart from the academics, there are clubs for management, techno-management, art, music etc. So, if you are curious, you can obviously check out some of these fields. The alumni are very helpful so they will always be available for any assistance.

My brother is an alumnus from KMIT- CSE. You don’t need to have any second thoughts. It is the best.
KMIT has the best of placements and at the best package. More than 90% of the students get placed every year. The following table shows the placement statistics for both institutions:

They have a proven track record and are still standing among the top engineering colleges. You would be having a lot of opportunities to showcase your skills on a global level.
You need not give it any second thoughts and just go for KMIT.
Among these two, CVR is better for CSE. It has a dedicated faculty base. The institute has an active placement cell. The cell gets ample funding from the college management. It also has a better alumni network.
During CVR College of Engineering placements 2021, students received the highest CTC of INR 30.50 LPA. Oracle GBU, Amazon SDE, Adobe, were the major recruiters in the placement drive.
My brother was a student of GRIET so I can very easily provide you with the overall description of the institution which I hope would help you in making the right decision for your career.

The resources offered by the institution cannot be compared with those than any other college in Hyderabad provides to its students. You can easily get a lot of benefits for placement purposes from the college. Other than academics, GRIET has many clubs for Management, Techno-Management, Music, Arts, social services, and many more.
My brother is an alumnus from this college from the batch of 2009. He has visited the campus a couple of times since then.
The following points are a detailed description of life at GRIET:
You cannot use mobile phones on campus. They are even banned in the canteen. Once you enter the campus, it’s impossible to get out of that place before the scheduled time.
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from GRIET is a good option to go for students.
2020 Placements Statistics:
If you look at the overall placement statistics for the year 2020, then the highest package was offered at INR 41.6 lakhs per annum by Microsoft. There were a total of 364 CSE students who have got placed till now.

Thus, overall if you want to follow CSE at GRIET looking at this placement figure, then it is a very good choice.
BVRIT (BVRIT Hyderabad College of Engineering for Women) is clearly better than GRIET for CSE students. There is not any significant difference between the two in terms of teaching and pedagogy as the syllabus is more or less the same for every technical college in the Hyderabad region.
The number of students in a typical CSE branch is way much more than that of IT in BVRIT. The faculty are also top-notch and know what they are teaching very well. Yes, of course, there might some very orthodox and traditional teachers who might not inspire students and do not adapt according to the changing market conditions, but these types of professors are lower in number here.
In the end, more than the college, it is your own self-determination that will make you a successful person. A facility with good internet connectivity, self-learning, and competitive coding culture is all you need to succeed at any of the two colleges.
