Hi Sir, my son's board marks are 96%, VIT 62K rank (we did not opt for counseling as we wanted to prefer only vellore or chennai branches for CSE max at cat 2)....he hot 7k rank in MET (manipal) and we can get CSE in manipal bangalore.....we also got Amrita CSE coimbatore in non scholarship fees....in any given case the budget is 30L....including hostel as we are from hyderabad....can you please suggest..is it worth doing CSE in manipal bangalore vs Amrita Coimbatore or are there any other options to explore.?

Ans: Choosing between CSE at Manipal Bengaluru and Amrita Coimbatore hinges on placement consistency versus location advantages. Amrita Coimbatore offers 90–95% placements (2024 data) with robust industry ties (Amazon, TCS, Cognizant) and NAAC A++ accreditation, ensuring a proven track record in core tech roles and research-driven curriculum. Manipal Bengaluru, while newer, provides 75% placements (2023) with access to Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem but lacks the legacy of its main campus. Amrita’s total fees (~?28.3L) align with the ?30L budget, as does Manipal’s (~?15.88L), but Amrita’s higher placement rate and established infrastructure make it preferable for assured outcomes. If location and internships in Bengaluru are critical, Manipal’s proximity to tech hubs offers networking opportunities, though with newer campus constraints. Explore VIT Chennai/Vellore via management quota (if feasible within budget) or SRM Chennai as backups, balancing regional preferences and institutional reputation. Confirm internship support and alumni networks during enrollment for optimal career readiness. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
