What should be my decision to join if I have 2 opportunities, VIT Chennai ECE or Amrita Bangalore CSE groups?

ECE and CSE are two different departments, providing separate career opportunities. VIT Chennai and Amrita University Bangalore offer decent placement to students in these departments. The points below give a brief overview of both the choices: In CSE, there are excellent package offers in institutes like Amrita and VIT, thus increasing your chance of getting a good salary at the beginning of your career. ECE is a stream of a kind, which has its own charm. In ECE, students grow slowly with time and earn decent salaries, provided they are passionate about the field of work. ECE in VIT Chennai is a great department, having a world-class infrastructure. The curriculum is at par with the industry needs. The professors at VIT Chennai are connected to the industry and other academic institutes to aid in research. All major electronics companies visit the campus of VIT Chennai for placement. Almost 20% of the students in the department get a package above 10 LPA in general from companies like Samsung, TI, Nutanix, etc. A major percentage of about 70-80% of students in ECE at VIT Chennai get a package between 5-8 LPA. Companies like Cisco, Intel, Wipro VLSI, Arista Networks offer salaries in this range. There are also some non-tech companies like Deloitte, E&Y, Bank of America, PWC, Wells Fargo, etc that recruit students from ECE. In VIT Chennai, there are very few students who opt for job offers in service-based companies like TCS, Accenture, Infosys, CTS, etc. Therefore, both ECE at VIT Chennai and CSE at Amrita Bangalore are good options. It is the choice of the student as to what excites him/her the most and opts for a degree in the same.

VIT Chennai - Ripe with oppurtunities

Likes

Fully Flexible credit system. The faculty and time table can be chosen by students for them to plan their extra curricular or other activities accordingly.

the bus fees and the transport both ways should be more alligned towards the fully flexible time table they allow.
The re evaluation system after exams still needs to be improved a lot.

The Tuition Fees per year - 3,04,000 The Bus Fees per year - 43,750(Non AC) or 63,750(AC) No extra compulsory charges. Hostel Fees - 1,54,200 for AC (or) 1,04,200 for Non AC Mess Charges - 78,800 (Veg) or 87,900 (Non Veg) In case of arrear - 6000 per course.

VIT - A Good Choice

And the ratio between Girls and Boys is good there are nearly equal number of girls and boys and the curriculum of college is also adjusted according to future requirements

In VIT there are various fee structure according to how much marks or rank you get in VITEEE exam there are 5 category I took admitission in 1 catagory my fees in 198000 per year which is nearly 800000 or 8 Lacks for completing my Degree. Here fee in 5th category get up to 500000 per year which is very high and not value for money. Also hostel fees and mess fees including both is 200000/ 2 lacks , I have taken 4bed-Ac room and veg mess. I vary as you change your room choices or mess choices. I think schlorships is for board and jee toppers not on behalf of any internal exam.

My cheerful college :)

The fees structure here depends on the result of the entrance exam offered by the college. The first category is to be paid with Rs.200000 and it increases with Rs,100000 for each category. There are 5 categories. They provide inhand experience and stipends too. The courses are worthy.

My experience in VIT Chennai

The way we have to maintain a balance between doing assignments, projects attending club activities and classes along with maintaing a social life is tiring at a lot of times
75 percent compulsory attendance is required for attending the examinations

Tution fees should be paid online through the website of VIT within an alloted date. The tution fees varies according to the fee category of the student and the course they choose. My course fee is almost 5 lakh per year which can be divided to 2 lakh advance payment and 3 lakh tution fees during the time of commencement of the classes. Other than that the hostel fees also varies according to the type of room the student choose. There 2 bed 4 bed and 6 bed rooms with Ac and non-Ac facilities. Staying in pg is not allowed for first year students who live beyond 100km radius of the college. There are certain criterias in the college brochure where the scholarships are mentioned. In the third year the students with no backlogs are eligible for internships. The college provides internship opportunities for the students through University career services, departmental notices and online portals. During the 7th and 8th sem placement training is given to the students for campus selections.
