Which college is better for B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering: VIT University or SRM University, Chennai?

The college selection criteria which I used while selecting my college was placement. So I chose VIT, Chennai as I didn't get Vellore. The courses are almost same in both the colleges, but coming to the course outline, the course taught is mostly same in both the colleges but the marking pattern is completely different. In SRM, you have absolute marking, whereas, in VIT, you have the freedom to choose your faculty. The faculty members in VIT are of various types. Some of them have a high knowledge. There are some faculty members which have no knowledge. No idea about the faculty of SRM but heard they are okay. Coming to infrastructure, here in VIT-Chennai you can take a full campus tour in a maximum 15 minutes, in SRM it will take you days for the full campus tour. The placement in VIT has always been better than that of SRM. They have a joint placement for Vellore and Chennai so you don't need to worry about the campus. If you want to pursue future studies then you can opt for any of the 2, but if you want fun and life then either go to VIT, Vellore or SRM. For better placement, VIT is preferred.

I can tell you the VIT University perspective. VIT, as we all know, does have a brand name and they make sure that their brand name stays. So my journey till now from a 1st year EEE to 3rd EEE has been pretty good on all basis. Right from the first year we have labs and learn basic things like soldering, making simple circuits, etc. There are workshops which mostly everyone takes up and by the end of 1st-year Arduino is known to almost everyone. Further, we have projects in our curriculum. So in every subject, we need to make a project, So if one does work well you get great knowledge through these projects. Also, the faculty encourages research and students in their 3rd year are generally doing some research. People do get placed in R & D companies, go in national level technical competitions, go for internal paid internships and finally even end up doing MS from good universities abroad. So on a whole VIT, Chennai has a great EEE department, with well-equipped labs accessing any time during college hours, one of the best faculties ever and a lot of work being done. I would suggest you come and be a part of our fraternity and all the best for your future, down the line everything will be good.

B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering: VIT University is best because The B.Tech.(Electrical and Electronics Engineering) program was started in the School of Electrical Engineering, VIT Chennai campus in the year 2010.The Electrical and Electronics Engineering program at VIT Chennai is accredited by ABET for a period of five year from 2015. The objective of the B.Tech (EEE) program is to train and develop skilled engineers in the power engineering domain comprising of generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, to serve as electronics engineers in the design and development of circuits for different types of electronics systems, to design and develop special purpose integrated circuits, to develop software solutions for Electrical / Electronics engineering applications. The scope of employment of Electrical and Electronics Engineering program includes the following domains. Electrical Power Generation, Automotive and Control Industries, Mining and allied Industries, Instrumentation and Software Industries, as well as in Manufacturing, Marketing and Business Management Industries. Public sectors, steel industries, oil and natural gas industries, Railways, and companies such as BHEL, NTPC, ABB, Siemens, National Instruments, DRDO and other Government Organizations.

Placements in VIT are a lot more promising than placements in SRM but you can't expect too much of them. Three students in VIT last sure got a place in a core company for a sum of 2000000 rupees while the rest got placed in marketing or it firms. Same is the scene in SRM only that lesser number of core companies visit SRM during the placement season. It all narrows down to one thing if you don't want your college life to be too harsh on you and want to have fun you should join SRM but if you want better placement VIT should be the choice you make. If you want to go and study abroad you can go with any of your choices have both SRM and VIT offers various programs to send the students to foreign collaborating colleges. Now, as far as the fee is taken into account, you will have to pay more at SRM in comparison to VIT not only for education and course material but also for hostel and living facility. Choose well!

HI, Both the colleges are good.VIT is one of the best private institutions in India. VIT has better placements as more companies visit SRM with higher packages, level of teaching, infrastructure is also very good. Both offer quality education and placement enroll only the students who score high merit in their entrance tests. EEE is good. But not as many core companies come for placement as they do for cse, it, etc., EEE has good faculties, and many chapters like IEEE, SEDS, etc., to participate in. But, if you can opt for some other university like NIT or Even CEG, I would say - avoid VIT. VIT is not really the best place in that case. But, as for learning opportunities, and exposure, what you get in VIT is immense. You just gotta make the best of what you have in VIT. EEE is not as popular as ECE/Mech in VIT. But, it's kinda better in terms of facilities, infrastructure and the opportunities you have inside - in terms of labs to experiment, and do stuff. All the best.
