Vardhaman College of Engineering is a better option as compared to Sreenidhi. There are a few reasons for this. The college is known for its punctuality and demands the same of its students.  If you are looking for quality education, Vardhaman College is better.  Classroom appearance and placements are well developed as compared to Sreenidhi. However, with recent statistics, the highest package offered at Vardhaman is INR 12 lakhs per annum. The same at Sreenidhi is INR 14 lakhs per annum. Lastly, as a student, there is better peer-to-peer interaction at Vardhaman College of Engineering. Eventually, it boils down to your choices as a student and what you are looking for in your college. 

I have a few friends at GRIET, so I can give you some information about the institute.  Although GRIET is an autonomous college under JNTU, it follows the same syllabus as JNTU. Don’t expect you will learn anything differently at JNTU. Most of the faculty members are good however there are some associate professors and professors who don’t have a thorough knowledge of the subject. They use slides to cover the whole syllabus and give assignments that are of no use. One of my friends was from ECE and according to him, they were assigned 1 laptop per 2 students. This seems like a nice approach but the con with this is you don’t get to choose your partner and have to do lab work individually.  The canteen is divided into only girls and boys sections. You are also not allowed to use your phones in the canteen. The socio-cultural life at the institute is also very good with the institute celebrating two major events; Pragnya and Pulse. Apart from these two, the institute also celebrates many smaller events and fests as well. The classes also go on during fests as well, as with the norm in many other colleges. The rules and regulations can be a little strict. Some students adapt easily while others don’t. The placements are good but most of the students are placed in service-based companies. The ratio of getting selected for placements is 1:5 out of 1000.  Sreenidhi also has drawbacks but it is slightly better than GRIET.

Engineering colleges such as SNIST, CBIT, Vasavi, and MGIT charge high course fees because of the facilities they offer. These colleges have great faculty bases. Students are provided with ample learning resources. These colleges also offer good returns on investments. Here are the recent placement highlights of the institutes. Colleges  Average CTC (in INR) SNIST 4 LPA CBIT 6.5 LPA Vasavi  4 LPA MGIT 4.06 LPA These are the reasons why SNIST, CBIT, Vasavi, and MGIT charge high course fees.

My brother was a student of GRIET so I can very easily provide you with the overall description of the institution which I hope would help you in making the right decision for your career. The faculty members are experienced and extremely knowledgeable in their respective fields. You would have the option to work on several projects during your college with the help of the faculty members. If you wish to learn a lot about the domain of engineering then your skills would improve significantly at this college. In Hyderabad, the job opportunitiesoffered by the recruiters have the first priority CBIT followed by GRIET. So, you also get the option to explore your interests and hobbies. The alumni network of GRIET is also very good through which you can get referrals in many fields and use the network for help in critical situations. Categories GRIET Sreenidhi (SNIST) Course Fee 4.88 lakh 5.2 lakh Highest CTC 15 LPA 11 LPA Average CTC 4 LPA 2.8 - 3 LPA Recruiting Companies TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc. TCS, Infosys, etc. The resources offered by the institution cannot be compared with those than any other college in Hyderabad provides to its students. You can easily get a lot of benefits for placement purposes from the college. Other than academics, GRIET has many clubs for Management, Techno-Management, Music, Arts, social services, and many more.

One of my close friends is a former student of B.Tech at SNIST and she had a very nice experience there. Based on the interaction I had with her, here are some of the insights she shared with me that might be helpful: In SNIST, all the faculty members are highly qualified and well experienced in their particular field. They are cooperative and helpful. For core knowledge and preparing for government jobs, GATE, etc. SNIST might not be a good choice. GRIET, unlike SNIST, has a mix of good and bad faculty members. It also has a high concentration on robotics and microcontroller programming. Particulars SNIST GRIET Highest Package Offered 14.5 LPA 41.60 LPA Average Package Offered 4 LPA 5.05 LPA Top Recruiters Deloitte, Capgemini, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, TCS, etc. She had a great experience at SNIST. However, if you have any seniors from GRIET, do take their advice before making a final decision.
