Both GITAM and Amrita are among the top colleges. Having friends studying in both the institutes, I have gathered some ideas about them.

Amrita has comparatively a higher fee structure than GITAM. GITAM on the other hand provides much more opportunities to its students.
The faculty here is terrific as they belong from top institutes. The infrastructure is splendid and developed.
The campus has a pleasant environment and the academics are outstanding.
The placement opportunities are contenting compared to Amrita. It would be more improved by the time you reach your graduation year.

Categories	Amrita Coimbatore	GITAM Vizag
Course Fee	10.1 - 13.1 lakh	7.4 - 11.98 lakh
Highest CTC	12 LPA	18 LPA
Average CTC	4.8 LPA	4 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Google, Microsoft Infosys, HCL, etc.	IBM, TCS, HP, Oracle, etc.

If you want to explore new destinations and a variety of foods then going for Amrita would be suitable for you. It’ll teach one to live an independent life. If you do not want to regret leaving Vizag then GITAM would be the best fit. Let’s not forget the beaches here that are a feast to one’s soul.

I got an MBA seat both in Hyderabad Central University and Gitam University Vizag. Which is better in terms of placements and faculty?

Writam Gupta,

10 Nov 21

Among Hyderabad Central University (HCU) and GITAM University Vizag, it is suggested that you go for Hyderabad Central University.

Studying at Hyderabad Central University will be a much safer option, considering academics and placements.
Being a central university and entertaining politically affiliated student organizations on campus catches the attention of national media.
The faculty is much more interactive here, and are more than willing to stay back after work if guidance is required.
GITAM has better hostels than Hyderabad Central University.
HCU has much lower fees compared to GITAM.

Lastly, placements majorly depend on the individual and not on the institution. So, if you work hard no matter the institution, you will definitely secure a good placement offer from a reputed company.

Which is better in terms of fees, studies, placements, food and hostels, KIIT or GITAM University?

Many IT firms frequently visit KIIT placements and hire a huge number of students. During 2022 placement drive, students received an average CTC of around INR 6.05 LPA. Some of the major recruiters for the institute are Escorts, Capgemini, Accenture, Infosys, etc.
