SA
Sakshi Ahuja Posted On : July 29th, 2021
B.E. CSE Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani - Dubai Campus

Each University has its own merits and BITS Pilani is well acclaimed globally and a lot of universities abroad see it as highly popular. Students from BITS are given good opportunities.

  • Recently, it ranked #96 among BRICS Nations and has been ranked by the world ranking agency QS World Ranking.
  • It doesn't matter whether you study in Pilani or Dubai campus because you will be awarded a BITS Pilani degree only.
  • The intake per year also varies in both these universities. According to data, VIT enrolls about 8,000-9,000 students per annum; on the other hand, if you compare, BITS enrolls only or less than 2100 students every year. This is important because it shows how BITS takes care of the quality of students, whereas VIT simply focuses on gathering a huge crowd.
  • Besides being an international campus, BITS Dubai can make you feel at home only because the crowd will be Asian only.
  • The teacher-to-student ratio at BITS Dubai is 1:15 but at VIT it is 1:25. You can gauge that one professor handles how many students at a time. It helps in improving a bond with your professor which in turn helps you in your career.

Both institutes have a good rate of 96-100% placements and the average package at VIT is about INR 5.4 LPA whereas at BITS it is about INR 11.2 LPA. After this quick overview, I hope you will be able to choose the best college for yourself.

Which college should I prefer for CSE, VIT Vellore or IIIT Pune? Kindly consider factors other than placements too.

PG
Prachi Gupta Posted On : March 19th, 2021
B.Tech from Delhi Technological University (2020)

Among the above two options, IIIT Pune is the better choice, without doubt, considering several reasons such as fee structure, overcrowding, and the IIIT tag. One of my friends goes there, so I know a bit about the institute.

The table below gives a brief level of the two institutes.

Particulars

IIIT Pune

VIT Vellore

Highest salary 

Rs. 22 LPA

Rs. 41.6 LPA

Entrance Exams

JEE Main

VITEEE

Overall Fees

Rs. 9.17 Lakhs

Rs. 10-14 Lakhs (Depending on the type of hostel)

Key Highlights: (Winning Institute - IIIT Pune)

  • There is overcrowding at VIT Vellore, with almost 2300 students enrolled at CSE only in several categories. There is huge competition in VIT due to the number of students sitting in placement altogether. On the other hand, IIIT Pune has even fewer than 100 students in CSE, which is realistic and sensible for students to compete with each other.
  • In India, the tag of a government institute has its own value, which is a bitter truth in our country too. Along with that, the IIIT tag always has its own demand for placement in companies and higher opportunities.
  • The fee for IIIT Pune is always lesser than that of VIT Vellore, irrespective of the type of hostel chosen at VIT.

There are students who have joined VIT, left the institute due to overcrowding, and went to some other institute. Considering all the above factors, IIIT Pune is a definite choice.

Is Thapar University better than VIT placement-wise?

PS
Piyu Saha Posted On : August 12th, 2021
Studied at Thapar University (2019)

When placements are concerned, the better opportunities are secured by the student’s overall performance and rather than the college. But if I have to choose one among them, then I’d say Thapar receives better placement offers than VIT.

  • The number of students at VIT is greater than Thapar. So there is more competition for any particular job opportunity.
  • The number of companies visiting both campuses is almost equal. 
  • The faculty at Thapar is highly educated and cooperative. 
  • Students get enough industrial exposure through seminars, industrial visits, and internships.
  • Several mock group discussions and interview sessions are also conducted at Thapar to groom the students. 
  • The college also has a lot of societies to improve the students’ soft skills. 
  • It helps them in boosting their confidence and developing good communication skills. 
Category Thapar University VIT
Total Fee INR 66,000 INR 1,73,000
Companies Visited Wipro, Adobe, Infosys, Bosch, etc. Wipro, Intel, TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc.
Highest Package 25 LPA 26 LPA
Average Package 14 LPA 15 LPA

The biggest factor is that a lot of companies visit Thapar and so it is easier to get a placement there. The placements are better in Thapar. But do remember that the placements completely depend on you and not the college. A lot of companies visit the college for placements but it is up to you the kind of effort that you wish to put in that will land you a job.

Which is better for me as a resident of Chandigarh, Uiet Chandigarh or VIT Vellore?

SG
Satadru Ghosh Posted On : May 31st, 2021
Studied at University Business School, Panjab University, Chandigarh (2019)

Both the colleges are good at their place but it depends upon your perspective that what you expect from your college life. 

  • If you live in Chandigarh and opt for UIET, you will remain in your comfort zone of your home city. 
  • But instead of staying in your city and deciding to get admission to VIT, Vellore, you learn many things during your undergraduate life. 
  • Eventually, when you stay in a hostel away from your parents you start taking complete responsibility for food, studies, laundry, etc. This will in your future make you independent. 
  • In Chandigarh, you will get independence only when you get a job in some other state and have to move out of the city. It will be like a drastic change in your life.
  • Meeting new people will always help you to make connections and you will receive enough exposure.

If you compare the quality of education that is provided in both UIET and VIT, you can determine this easily by talking to the students who are studying as they have real-life experience of the campus. But the fee structure of UIET is comparatively lower than that of VIT as the college comes under a center-funded state university.

Which ranks higher, VIT or Anna University Chennai?

KA
Karim Avram Posted On : December 16th, 2022
M.E Aeronautical Engineer from Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2018)

First of all, don’t trust the official figures regarding rankings for colleges. They are misleading and are meant for advertisement purposes only. No good college needs to show itself at the top of the rankings. 

Now comparing VIT and Anna University, Anna University is definitely better in the ranking than VIT. Its CEG branch is at another level and not on par with VIT at all. Some points that support this opinion are:

  • Student quality at Anna University is better than at VIT.

  • VIT is a private university therefore more expensive than AU

  • The curriculum is harder in AU than in VIT, but the assessments are direct and easy here.

  • Placement opportunities are better at AU because of the variety of companies that visit the campus in contrast to the mass IT recruits that happen in VIT.

All these points strongly favor my opinion. One thing to keep in mind here is that when I say Anna University is better I mean the main campuses (CEG, MIT, ACT) not the affiliated colleges.
