One of my relatives happened to choose SSN. She has visited the campuses of both the colleges namely, Anna University and SSN. She told me that SSN was way ahead of AU in many aspects. Some amazing features of SSN are:
Amazing infrastructure with top notch Wi-Fi facilities
Diverse crowd which helps you get more exposure
SSN does not force its students to attend classes
SSN emphasises on the overall development of its students and fulfilling their dreams
Good hostel facilities
My relative completed her M.E. from SSN and went to CEG to pursue PhD. She regrets this decision a lot. She had listed so many shortcomings of CEG. Some of them have been listed below.
Lack of proper sanitation facilities
No emphasis on extracurricular activities or club activities
Lack of transport facilities
So SSN focuses more on quality rather than quantity.
