Is IIIT Ranchi CSE a good choice for B.Tech, or would VIT Vellore be better? (also note that I'd be trying to get into a good university abroad for MBA after BTech.)

Muskan Agrahari Posted On : June 27th, 2025

Both IIIT Ranchi and VIT Vellore can help you build a strong profile if you want to pursue your MBA abroad after your B.Tech, but they have different benefits:

Quick Comparison Table

Criteria IIIT Ranchi CSE VIT Vellore CSE
Institute Type Government (IIIT, Institute of National Importance) Private Deemed University
Placements (Avg. CSE) 12–16 LPA 9.9 LPA overall, ~12+ LPA for CSE
Highest Package 28 LPA 88 LPA
Fees (Approx.) 5–6 lakhs total 7–9 lakhs (varies by fee category)
Global Exposure Limited but growing Strong international tie-ups (2+2, 3+2, etc.)
Alumni Network (Abroad) Small but credible Large and active globally
Campus & Infra Functional, developing campus Excellent infrastructure
Brand Value Abroad Good due to govt. tag Popular in Asia and the Middle East, gaining recognition

Good placements and a government-approved degree that enhances educational credibility are two benefits of pursuing an MBA from MBA Abroad View IIIT Ranchi. But apart from its greater alumni community and more structured international exposures, VIT Vellore has experiences that will be useful while seeking an MBA abroad, particularly through networking and word-of-mouth recommendations.

 – In case you would like to choose, pick IIIT Ranchi: lower fees and improved placements, a government degree (occasionally useful for MBA or scholarship exams), and greater personal attention are outcomes of having fewer students.

 – In case you would like to choose, pick VIT Vellore, in consideration of international programs and transfer possibilities, a large, engaged alumni community overseas, and further assistance to construct an MBA record through internships, activities, and clubs.

Which is better, VIT Vellore or Manipal University?

SK
Shubham Kumar Posted On : May 15th, 2024
B.Tech student at VIT Vellore

I am a student at VIT Vellore, so I can only comment on my college. Here are some reasons why I chose VIT Vellore for my engineering degree-

  1. Academics- VIT Vellore follows FFCS (Fully Flexible Credit System) for academics. As the name suggests, this system of education is very flexible as one gets to choose one’s subjects and faculty based on the opinion gathered from friends and seniors. One can either take morning lectures or evening lectures as per one’s choice.
  2. Extracurricular- There is always some activity going on in the VIT campus at all times. There are multiple clubs at VIT Vellore, and one can become a member of any of them.
  3. Campus Life- The campus life of VIT is full of fun experiences. Apart from the flexible academic system, one gets to live in a campus that is simply beautiful. Other than that, every six months the university organizes tech and cultural fests. I have been a part of Gravitas and Riviera, and both of them offered extraordinary experiences. 
  4. Placements- As for engineering placements, a lot of companies visit the VIT Vellore campus for recruitments. Then there are several IT companies that intake candidates from all engineering branches at VIT Vellore. These are- Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, and TCS. Apart from job placements, VIT Vellore gives deserving students an opportunity of foreign internships. 

These reasons are enough to explain why I preferred VIT Vellore for my engineering studies. I would recommend you consider VIT as it has a lot of opportunities and facilities to offer.
