Ans: SRM University?AP (Amaravati)
CSE placements: 100% batch placed, ~?9.9?LPA average, ?50–55?LPA top, 67% got ≥?10?LPA offers; 65 international offers
~800+ recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, Barclays, JP Morgan, Deloitte.
Strong internship ecosystem with international placements.
BITS 2+2 (Hyderabad or Pilani) via 2+2 from your BITS attempt
BITS is top-tier brand with stellar CSE placements: ~?20–25?LPA avg, ?40?LPA+ top Highly competitive, intense academics, world-class peer group.If you can get the Hyderabad channel, you gain this plus placements and strong exposure.
SASTRA University
CSE avg ?4–6?LPA; top ?10–12?LPA
Good faculty, balanced academics, less placement reach compared to SRM?AP/BITS.
Placements & big?brand exposure: BITS (if you secure 2+2 CSE) is the gold standard. But it depends on your score & seat availability.
If BITS isn't guaranteed, SRM?AP is your best fallback—strong CSE placements, global recruiters, high exposure.
SASTRA is decent, but based on your aspirations and strong EWS/BCE rank, prioritize SRM?AP and BITS.
Path Forward - Fully pursue BITS via 2+2: invest in the remaining prep to boost your chances.
Definitely take SRM?AP—you already applied, it aligns with goals, and they’ll likely admit you.
SASTRA can be a backup, but shift preference after you get clearer SRM/AP or BITS outcomes.
Questions to reflect Suhaan - How confident are you of securing BITS by the 2+2 route?
Have you scoped the fee differences and scholarships for each?
Which campus environment - elite/hardcore (BITS) vs international/private (SRM) vs modest/decent (SASTRA) suits your style?
