    Computer Science and Engineering from UPES is one of the best in the country, and far better than mechanical engineering from MIT. I know this because I am an alumnus of UPES and have been placed in one of the top MNCs with a really good package. The best part is their faculty, industrial visits and specialised programs with support from best tech giants in the world.

    Hello Students,
    It's never a good idea to compare apples and oranges, but then perhaps user indeed desires to know which one is better. Yes, indeed, but better from what perspective? Colour? Taste? Medicinal properties? Easy availability? Price? Now, if these and many more such variables could be found in a simple item like apple & orange, I am sure there will be much more complex issues at stake while comparing two different courses of two well known educational institutions.
    Having said this, I will still take the plunge and try to find answers.
    VIT as well as Manipal are very well known institutes in academic circles. This means that

    VIT is good in my view.
    Placements: If good placement is your goal, you should know that all good private engineering colleges in India helps you to get an average offer of more or less 3.5 Lacs in IT sector. So does VIT. Also students with good CGPA and descent profile get placed in the top e-commerce companies like Flipkart and ebay to the leading networking firms like CISCO with dream offers of more than 10 Lacs.
    Internship: Many firms also come to recruit final year students for internship which offers job based on their performance during the period. These include firms like Amazon.

    Mechanical engineering, any day. It's a traditional engineering branch that has promising career options. MIT is far ahead of VIT in terms of faculty and placement. Also, the campus is cool and is situated in the hills. I'd suggest you go for mechanical engineering especially if you are interested in machines and a better career.

    This comparison is totally invalid as you cannot compare two totally different branches. You must select the branch based on your passion and not on other factors.
    Once you have decided a particular branch and want to select between MIT or VIT then go for MIT Manipal.
    Go for Manipal University (main campus).
    MIT Manipal is known for its quality education. It has excellent infrastructure and faculties too.
    It is in top 50 ranks by National Institution ranking framework among the Indian Engineering colleges.
    Manipal has better placements for all the departments and almost 92 percent overall placements.

    It depends on your interest whether you like mechanical engineering or computer science engineering.
    Mechanical engineering deals with the hardware or the machines whereas computer science deals with software all the programmes of the machines.
    Vellore Institute of Technology and Manipal Institute of Technology both of them are best private engineering colleges of India.
    According to me, computer science engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology is much better than mechanical engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology because of the following reasons
