Sir your views on Amrita Vishwa Vidhyapeetham bangalore campus cse/ece
Ans: Amrita Bangalore’s CSE program demonstrates 95% placement rates (2023–2025) with 300+ recruiters like TCS, Cognizant, and Amazon, supported by a curriculum integrating AI/ML, DSA, and cloud computing through partnerships with firms like Arizona State University. Its NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #28 university ranking ensure academic rigor, though median salaries lag behind premier NITs/IITs. The ECE program reports 75–85% placements with core roles in embedded systems and IoT via collaborations with Qualcomm and Bosch, though 30–40% of graduates transition to IT roles via supplemental coding skills. Both programs emphasize project-based learning, with CSE offering global electives and ECE focusing on VLSI design and industrial automation. While CSE aligns better with high-demand tech sectors, ECE provides niche opportunities in hardware-software integration, contingent on proactive skill development. Recommendation: Opt for CSE at Amrita Bangalore for assured tech-sector employability and interdisciplinary exposure, while choosing ECE for core electronics pathways, leveraging its industry partnerships and research infrastructure. Prioritize institutional strengths (A++ accreditation, 90%+ placement consistency) over newer private universities, but supplement with certifications for competitive IT roles. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
