According to my friend at SRM, the KTR campus of SRM is the best choice. If you consider factors like faculty, placements, and a lot more. The points below will provide you a brief overview of all the institutes stated above and the advantages of SRM over them. SRM University has three campuses, first in Kattankulathur, second in Ramapuram, and third in Vadapalani. The campus in Kattankulathur (KTR) is marked as the best among them. In SRM KTR, will make you a real engineer. It has excellent faculty, provides a lot of on-campus placement opportunities, and is also good in extra-curricular activities. The other two campuses of SRM, Ramapuram, and Vadapalani, are somewhat satisfactory, but not as good as the KTR campus. Talking about the NCR, the campus is quite far away from Delhi, which results in a lot of travel to and from Delhi on weekends. The faculty of NCR is not that good and so students have to be dependent on self-study. The placements are decent because it is held in the Chennai (KTR) campus. But, the NCR campus has much lesser fees than the Chennai campus and so, it is considered better. The Manipal University is called a happening campus, which provides excellent college life, extra-curricular activities, party culture, etc. But, students in Manipal University should be aware of the bad habits on campus and choose friends wisely for the same reason. The fee structure in Manipal University is also on a slightly higher side. It provides average quality placement to students. Categories Manipal University SRM KTR SRM NCR Placement Percentage 80% 95% More than 50% Highest CTC 15 LPA 12 LPA 10 LPA Average CTC 5 LPA 3-4 LPA 5 LPA Recruiting Companies Dell, Amazon, etc. HCL, Infosys, etc. TCS, Infosys, etc. Considering all the above points, it can be easily concluded that the SRM KTR campus is the best option.

SRM University Modinagar campus in Delhi NCR is good. Getting a degree from this campus is equivalent to a degree from the Main campus. The campus isn’t newly opened, it has been functioning for a while now. Students of this campus get similar placement opportunities as that of the main campus. SRM Ghaziabad placement highlights show the average CTC to be around INR 3-4 LPA. 

Since I personally am not well acquainted with the prospects of LNCT Bhopal, it is best to restrict the elaboration to only SRM Delhi for offering the best insight.  Advantages The learning environment is good since there are several well-experienced and professional faculty members.  The library generally contains books both from the academic and non-academic arenas, helping keep balance.  There are provisions for massive labs as well.  The non-teaching staff and assistants are extremely cooperative.  The curriculum is comparatively easier than what could be anticipated. The sports facilities are extremely advantageous for students who want to enroll in it in the first place.  The government-approved societies provide the best means of technology in the form of workshops and conferences. The placements are good. Huge MNCs such as Google, Amazon, Verizon, PWC, Deloitte, Airbus, and others arrive at SRM Delhi. Categories CS at SRM Delhi Highest CTC 8.03 lakh Average CTC 12 LPA Recruiting Companies 9 LPA Disadvantages Students are likely to invest time in their self-study since the professors are only brief about the topic and expect students to learn the subject area on their own.  Students are required to visit the main campus for placements because the institute has a centralized placement scheme for every campus. For admission purposes, you can directly enquire about the same, without having to deal with any third-party agent. 

In terms of placements, Manipal University, Jaipur is best. Along with good placements, it also offers decent academics. It has a well-established alumni network. The alumni network includes big names such as Satya Narayana Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Rajeev Suri (CEO of Inmarsat). As per Manipal University Jaipur placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC offered is INR 5.43 LPA.
