it would be

IISc>IIT>BITS>NIT>whatever other colleges

I dunno IIIT can be compared like that since it has only few areas of research compared to other colleges

don't drop until you are sure you can put your efforts during the drop out year.

and the comparison between two private universities is not a reasonable thing to do.

Its like comparing between a thief and a super thief .

almost all private colleges suck .

Why they attract students is because of placements. Better placements means better students .so this should be the sole formula for comparison . Compare between their placement record ,focus on average placement rate and average placement package and then choose accordingly.

drop was the last option..
i am getting BBD lucknow from UPTU.. studies are almost same in all private colleges.. equating to null!
srm gets the best vote for placements.. so IMO; SRM>>Galgotia.
sorry for the bump.. but any inputs on these two univs are welcome~~:oops:

you can't be sure

ask any student who is in SRM . i accept that good and large number of companies visit SRM but competition/seat is also very very high .

i would suggest you to discuss it privately with any student of SRM.Don't rush just take your time.

Joined VIT last week ;)

IMO, BITS (Pilani campus) > VIT (vellore campus) > Manipal
K
Jul 15, 2012 at 10:05 PM
yep.. aprpox 5-6 lakhs..

i don't think so
3215 students sit for the placement .(see the competition).

Tcs recruited approx 1200,accenture recruited approx 900 and wipro recruited 300
Total = 2400 (approx)
This shows that major placement was in blood sucking companies or better knows as body shopping companies . their package is not more then 3 lakh .

No doubt placement rate is good.

No data is available for non placed students .

I hope you are understanding what i am trying to say .

But do not worry if you believe you can beat the competition since there are good opportunities too but only if you can beat the competition .

Joined VIT last week

do you like overpopulated places ?

IMO, BITS (Pilani campus) >>>>>>>>> VIT (vellore campus) >=< Manipal

^can be possible buddy.. all its placements are done from the chennai campus! they pay the companies to visit their campuses.. a guy got 50l from microsoft from chennai campus!

some correction needed buddy

Actual package is 16 lakh In india .This offer is for working in foreign countries.

And don't think that they paid ms to come to their college .It is total bullshit.Ms conduct off campus to select students from private colleges & universities . So it is the student who got the placement .No role of SRM.

^ the market is slow right now and all the colleges be it govt or private are having an average placement stats so the companies didnt offer much salary . Ultimaltely is ur result in college and the performance in the intervew that matters.

correct .

i think you don't have the choice . So go for it . Best of luck for your career .College is just a formality . 3 students from my college got placed in mircosoft .One of them was rejected in many small companies . In placement what matters is your confidence on yourself. So don't worry take your decision .

Have fun and some chicks since private universities are famous for them also besides placements . enjoy

VIT - Good tech facility I've ever seen

where else you have seen the tech faculty :)

I already said it before . no reasonable comparison can be done between private colleges

A little off topic

But whenever i read a private college's brochure with its glossy pages and high def pictures, there is like 10 pages description about the facilities and buildings and 2 pages decription about placements and other things that the college may have achieved. I get a little confused whether its a brochure for a educational institution or a holiday package :-?.

As for the question above, BITS Pilani is miles ahead of the colleges that you have mentioned in the heading. i don't know much about SRM and VIT but Manipal is surely way better than amity as far as placements are concerned. I have a cousin sister there(btech) and as per her feedback its decent.

I still can't believe that SRM has a 5-6 average salary:-o. I would be very interested to know the median salary as well if anyone has it.

Here are the statistics.

SRM University

VIT UNIVERSITY, Vellore

VIT UNIVERSITY, Vellore

Manipal

Manipal "was" good, not now. It does reflect in their placement records as well.

Same reason why I skipped it

on link given by u

VIT University has been a consistent topper for several years in the list of campus placement records among private institutions in India. It is proud that its graduates are highly rated by employers from industry and commerce in the private and public sectors. Offering information, advice, guidance and support for job-seeking students is considered a primary responsibility at the University.

so what is new ? every other college says this .

Every other college says that, but don't back them with statistics. That's the difference, as simple as that.

do you really believe these statics ?

Ok i have example to prove .

Intel visited my college this year . they selected 9 students for internships and 1 student for permanent job . Later during internship 2 more students were given permanent job offer by intel . so out of 1o only 3 got placed and rest were thrown out .

But on college website they were showing 10 students got placed in intel.

absoluetly true .
When i joined my college they were saying average package was 5.75 lakh .It was written clearly on the college website .

greatest placements , record placements , highest average package , and more bla bla

everything they said is out of thin air . Don't believe them .

Shocked at seeing big names like VIT, and SRM in the list. It is a real shame. These people are charging students so much and not having the standard. SRM , I heard is a five star kind of a University.
