Should I choose Vellore Institute of Technology or Mahindra Ecole Centrale or Manipal Institute of Technology?

While comparing institutes, you should consider these parameters-infrastructure, faculty, fee structure, and placement record:

• Infrastructure- VIT Vellore campus is clean and hygienic. Its hostels and mess are also good. 

Mahindra Ecole Centrale (MEC) has a world-class infrastructure with a good campus environment and good sports facilities.

• Faculty- The faculty at VIT consists of qualified Ph.D. teachers. MEC has Indian and international Ph.D. holders as its faculty. They teach well and give high value to research. The curriculum is co-designed with Ecole Centrale 

Paris, and is of good quality.

• Fee- B.Tech CSE at VIT Vellore will cost you INR 1.95 lakhs each year. From MIT, this course will cost you INR 18.62 lakhs in total, while from MEC, it will cost you 4.50 lakhs per year. So VIT Vellore is more adorable than the other two.

• Placements- B.Tech placements of VIT Vellore are good. The average package of VIT Vellore stood at INR 9.23 LPA in 2023. MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, D.E. Shaw, Paypal, etc. visit the campus for placements. 

At MEC, the average package stands near 7 LPA. At Manipal, the average package for 2023 was INR 14.10 LPA, and the median package was INR 8.5 LPA.

I would suggest you reach out to the alumni from each college. This will give you a clearer picture of how things are at the ground level. According to me, Manipal Institute of Technology, VIT, and MEC, all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
