Which college is better for B.Tech CSE in terms of academics and placement: LPU or SRM, Chennai?

Rakshit,
LPU has earned a good reputation for itself in the field of education. Taking admission for B.Tech CSE there will give you a cutting edge over other students as I have heard that they work hard for their students when it comes to placements. Not only the students are equipped with theoretical and practical subject knowledge but also they are trained to face placement exams with ease.
Another plus point is that the university has made it possible for all to have access to quality education as they offer good scholarships.
For a better insight, you can visit their camp office near you or check their website for more details. -
Both the colleges are very good but, if you are concerned about placement, then I will suggest SRM Chennai is far better. -
Hi,
If you are getting SRM, Chennai and fees is not the issue for you, then you should definitely select SRM, Chennai. If you check the MHRD ranking SRM is placed in one of the top colleges of India as compared to LPU. So, you should definitely select SRM. All the best for your future. -

SRM Chennai (main campus) is far better one among these two. However, there are better colleges are VITS University, BITS Pillani and colleges from Bangalore such as MS Ramaiah, RV College, PES University which you will get through COMEDK entrance exam. Bangalore is a hub for software companies, so I will prefer it more for CS Engineering.
