I know some people from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham so I think I can give you some idea about it.

M.Tech in Embedded Systems is a great course. As far as the choice between Bangalore and Coimbatore campuses is concerned, then without any doubt, Coimbatore campus is better between the two. Here are some details about the campuses.

Coimbatore Campus:

• This course is offered by the Electrical and Electronics department. So if you are an electrical graduate, then it is better for you.
• The department has very good lab facilities. There are various development boards and robotic kits which will help you increase your skills.
• The faculty are very helpful and will help in every way both academically as well as publishing in your journals.

Bangalore Campus:

• Here the course is offered by the Computer Science department. So if you are a CS graduate, then it is for you.
• The labs, teaching experience, facilities, research opportunities, and exposure to the industry are also very good.

Considering all the points and knowing that Coimbatore is the original and the oldest campus of the two, the preference of the campuses should be Coimbatore.

PES University is undoubtedly better than Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Bangalore campus. The most important decision should be whether to take Mechanical engineering or ECE as both are different disciplines and unrelated to each other as well. The choice of your engineering branch should be based on your passion and interest as you would have to study it for 4 years and then do a job in the same field as well.

After that, comes the college. These are some of the parameters on which you can compare the two universities.

• Faculty – Their qualifications, experience, and the quality of teaching.
• The quality of research that happens at the college
• Curriculum – More choice or flexibility in subject selection including some Humanities subjects
• Study environment
• Placements
• Fee – Amrita University has a higher fee than PES University.

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement highlights at the institutes.

However, you should focus on gaining knowledge and that you can do at any university. But some university will help you more than other and that’s what makes PES University better than Amrita University, Bangalore campus.

Placements at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Bangalore are quite decent. But getting good placements depends a lot on your capabilities. If you are qualified and have the required skills, then securing a decent job offer will not be a problem.

Many reputed MNCs visit the campus for placements. As long as you have a good academic profile, getting placed will not be a problem. Here are the recent placement highlights for the institute.

One of my friends is an alumnus of Amrita and he suggests the Amritapuri campus is better for CSE. If you have not already joined the institute, you should consider joining the Amritapuri campus.

ECE and CSE are two different departments, providing separate career opportunities. VIT Chennai and Amrita University Bangalore offer decent placement to students in these departments.

The points below give a brief overview of both the choices:

• In CSE, there are excellent package offers in institutes like Amrita and VIT, thus increasing your chance of getting a good salary at the beginning of your career.
• ECE is a stream of a kind, which has its own charm. In ECE, students grow slowly with time and earn decent salaries, provided they are passionate about the field of work.
• ECE in VIT Chennai is a great department, having a world-class infrastructure. The curriculum is at par with the industry needs. The professors at VIT Chennai are connected to the industry and other academic institutes to aid in research.
• All major electronics companies visit the campus of VIT Chennai for placement. Almost 20% of the students in the department get a package above 10 LPA in general from companies like Samsung, TI, Nutanix, etc.
• A major percentage of about 70-80% of students in ECE at VIT Chennai get a package between 5-8 LPA. Companies like Cisco, Intel, Wipro VLSI, Arista Networks offer salaries in this range. There are also some non-tech companies like Deloitte, E&Y, Bank of America, PWC, Wells Fargo, etc that recruit students from ECE.
• In VIT Chennai, there are very few students who opt for job offers in service-based companies like TCS, Accenture, Infosys, CTS, etc.

Therefore, both ECE at VIT Chennai and CSE at Amrita Bangalore are good options. It is the choice of the student as to what excites him/her the most and opts for a degree in the same.

If you are interested in CSE then choosing the Amritapuri campus of Amrita University Bangalore will be better. One of my friends is a student of Amritapuri and so far he had a good experience at the institute. Here are some of the aspects of the institute.

Campus: The campus is great and offers a decent academic environment. It has smart classrooms and a library with a good collection of books for different branches. There is no distraction due to politics.

Academics: Academics at the campus is as good as you can expect from an engineering campus. The faculties are experienced. There is enough research exposure. The computer lab is well-equipped.

So, going by the factors mentioned above, it is safe to say that you can’t go wrong with Amrita University Amritapuri campus.

One of my friends is a student at Amrita University, Bangalore pursuing CS. He has better opinions on the same.

• The very first thing that you should be aware of is that there is no special kind of reservation or seat facilities for the OBC section.
• Rather, what you can otherwise avail of our reservations for the SC and ST groups.
• If you are considering anything other than that, then they’re possibly are the reservation criteria for the Home State quota.
• Having said that, if you are moreover eligible for the Home State quota, then you are supposed to get facilities alike.
• There however is no separate guarantee for that as well mainly until you have appeared for the counseling. Thus, you should attend the counseling.
• In addition to all this, if you share an interest in the CSE branch, then pursuing the course at the Amrita University’s Amritapuri campus is supposed to be the best choice above all.

In a nutshell, you should monitor the seat availability status that is usually also published from time to time on the main website of the institute. It is suggested that you check that whenever necessary to keep pace with more information.
