School of Rural Management Ratlam: Admission 2026, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

KIIT, SRM, and UPES are some of the best private colleges in India. Placement statistics change for every college according to year and branch. I am a B.Tech CSE student and therefore, my answer will talk especially about the CSE branch.

In KIIT, around 90% of the students get placed as the placement season starts. Companies mostly require a 6-6.5 CGPA and the cutoffs can go to maximum 7.5 CGPA for some companies. A 6-pointer may end up with a better job than a 9-pointer because of skills. The placement scenario is good.

KIIT is better among the three for placements because it has an E-cell or Entrepreneurship Cell which is not present in the other two colleges. Over there, an internship camp is organized in which the students can get an internship in their field of interest, in different companies.

SRM- In SRM, there is a system of mass recruitment and most students get placed. Mass recruitment companies recruit students in large numbers with an average package of around INR 4.5 LPA. If you study hard, practice coding, are strong in aptitude, database, etc., you can get a package of INR 5-6LPA.

UPES-  CSE branch, the placement percentage is around 90%.  However, the number of companies that visit UPES is limited. IBM is a big company and offers the maximum placements. Amazon, Wipro, Dell, Flipkart, and others also visit the campus for placements.

Thus, because of its Entrepreneurship Cell and Internship camp, I would suggest that KIIT has the best placements out of the three. However, placements at SRM and UPES are also quite good and the placement figures for all three are at par.

I would place these institutions in this rank-

1. MIT (Main Campus- Manipal) 
2. VIT
3. SRM
4. KIIT

However, KIIT will overtake VIT and SRM because the academics and placements at this institution are getting better over the years.

As an alumnus of MIT, here are a few reasons why I have placed MIT in the top:

1. Top Engineering streams like CSE, IT, Mech, ECE, and EEE at MIT are as good as the NITs.
2. It has only merit-based seats and no management quota. On the other hand, in KIIT and other institutions, the majority of intake is from management quota.
3. The All India MU-OET exam brings in a good crowd at MIT. The campus life, faculty, and alumni are also great.
4. MIT has a decent placement record and a great campus life. During placements at MIT, I sat for 50 companies and by the end received 3 placement offers. Currently, I am working at TATA Motors.
5. If the high fee is not an issue for you, MIT is the best option after IITs, BITS, and top NITs.
6. People tolerate opposing views and the approach is more egalitarian at MIT.
7. MIT student has the distinction of being an undergraduate with the highest number of research papers in the country to his credit (22 research papers in 4 years).

Though KIIT is a good institution with improving academics and placements, I would say that MIT ranks the highest among the four.
