Question by Akshat on Jun 25, 2025Hindi

Sir, I'm getting a seat in VIT AP University CSE and a seat in SRM KTR CSE Specializations (I'm not eligible for CSE Core, CSE AIML, CSE Data Science). Some people have told me that SRM KTR CSE is better than VIT AP CSE. But would it be worth it to take up any SPECIALIZATION in SRM KTR CSE over VIT AP CSE?

Ans: Akshat, VIT-AP University’s CSE program maintains over 90% placement rates, with the 2024 average package reported between ?7–14.4 lakh and top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, and Deloitte. The curriculum is broad, covering core computer science and industry-relevant electives, and the CSE program is highly regarded for its placement consistency and alumni outcomes. SRM KTR’s CSE specializations (excluding core, AIML, and Data Science) also offer strong placement support, with an overall 91% placement rate and an average package of ?7.19 lakh in 2024, though a declining trend in average packages has been noted recently. SRM KTR enjoys a larger recruiter base and a strong national brand, but student feedback highlights that core CSE and top specializations attract the best opportunities, while some niche CSE specializations may offer fewer choices and less flexibility than a mainstream CSE degree. Both institutions provide good infrastructure and active placement cells, but VIT-AP’s CSE offers a more comprehensive curriculum and higher placement averages for the core program, while SRM KTR’s non-core specializations may not match this breadth or recognition in the job market.

The recommendation is to prefer VIT-AP CSE over SRM KTR CSE specializations (excluding core, AIML, and Data Science), as VIT-AP’s core CSE program offers broader industry alignment, higher placement averages, and greater long-term flexibility, making it a stronger choice for both immediate placements and future career growth. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
