Being from Andhra Pradesh or any other state it is not possible to get a seat in Coimbatore as you will fall under the open quota but it is possible to get a seat in Amritapuri.  Suppose you have completed your 11th and 12th from Tamil Nadu, then you would be eligible to get a seat in Coimbatore. You can apply through state quota but any student who is applying other than Tamil Nadu would fall under the open quota. Applying through state quota has its own advantages as these students are given more preference even if they score a rank of around 9000 as seats are reserved for the students who are applying through state quota. It is even easier for them to choose a branch of their choice.  Although students applying through state quota can get a seat easier than open quota students, this still doesn't guarantee a seat to every student applying under state quota.  A student has to study a lot and score higher marks in the entrance examination in order to secure a seat, as there are a lot of students applying and the students with higher marks and rankings will only be eligible to secure a seat.  Also, if you follow the cutoff trends for recent years it’s possible that you will get a seat at Amritapuri in CSE with a rank of 2342.

One of my friends was a student from Amrita and she pursued ECE on the Bangalore campus. According to her experience, in general, the Coimbatore campus is better among the two. The reason behind choosing Amrita University, Coimbatore is because of its well-structured infrastructure and great academic culture. The Coimbatore campus has also remained consistent in being ranked high amongst most Indian colleges. However, for the CS branch specifically, my friend suggests the Bangalore campus. The academic culture in the institute is significantly good. Moreover, the rules and regulations in the institute are not as strict as on the Coimbatore campus, letting students have a better amount of balance. Since you are in close vicinity with various IT companies and are surrounded by classmates belonging from households where either parent might be working in similar companies can provide you a commendable orientation as well. As per the recent trends the average and highest CTC offered at the Bangalore campus is 40 LPA and 80 LPA respectively. According to my friend, you will also have a better peer group with good communication skills at the Bangalore campus as opposed to the other two. So, choosing the Bangalore campus may give you an edge.

I have a friend who attended Amrita University and here’s what he had to say about life at the campus. Academic Life: The course curriculum is great and the standards can be even compared to IIT. The faculty are knowledgeable and will help you with everything. However, self-study, your efforts, and participation in events and competitions, etc. will teach you so much more. The labs are great and have all the necessary equipment. They also allow you to use the labs after academic hours with due permission. The library is huge and they also have many online subscriptions. The exams come pretty fast. But if you practice daily and prepare with proper strategy, then exams become quite easy. Campus life: The campus has three academic blocks (AB1, AB2, and AB3) and one business block (MBA). The campus is beautiful and covered with greenery. The campus has three major and four minor canteens. The bigger canteens are in AB1, in between AB2 and AB3, and one in the MBA block. There are also four minor canteens. The institute hosts a three-day tech fest called Anokha, each year in February. The college also hosts other festivals such as Adaviya, a theatre fest, and so on. Hostel life: The rooms are better than many other colleges in the vicinity. The rooms are shared by four persons till the third year and only in the final year, you will get a single sharing room. The hostels have their own gyms, open ground, canteens, and an Olympic size swimming pool. The food quality is average. The weekdays go in a blur from waking up in a hurry, rushing to the class with breakfast in hand, attending 4 classes, lunch break to the sleepy classes after lunch. In the evening you can hang out on campus, play some sport or take long walks. On weekends, students usually go out to the city to catch a movie or some even go home. Life is good at the campus, you will be busy with many activities.

Starting off first, let me congratulate you as you have attempted the Amrita University Entrance exam. Coming to your rank, let me assure you that 12000 is not a bad rank at all. Many students who have scored a rank of 20000 to 30000 also have qualified for admission at Amrita University. There are other additional factors that also come into play. Your admission depends upon which state you are from as well. This could be Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu or Kerala. The college has certain cutoffs that have been set for each state. You can also get in touch with the college for information on this but they might ask you to pay up. However, if you are considering enrolling here for CSE, most of these seats get filled up at 6000 rankings, even in-state quota sometimes. So for 12000, you can consider going for branches like Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, E&I as well as Aero. These are definitely available under the state quota.
