You should prefer CSE at Amrita University (Amritapuri). In terms of academics, placements and exposure, Amrita University is comparably better than VIT. Reputed companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, etc. visit Amrita University placements to recruit students. CSE has a placement rate of around 85%. The salary packages for the branch range from INR 4-28 LPA.
Having friends pursuing both CSE and ECE, I can say that both are equally good and are subjects in high demand. You can easily secure a good job in a corporate house, being an ECE or CSE graduate. Here are some facts I would like to mention:
