Ans: VIT-AP’s CSE program reports 90–95% placement rates (2023–2025) with access to 1,458+ recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and TCS, supported by a centralized placement system across VIT campuses. The curriculum integrates AI/ML, blockchain, and IoT, with 30–40% of graduates securing roles in emerging tech sectors. However, mass recruitment trends (Infosys, Wipro) dominate placements, and the newer campus lacks the legacy of VIT Vellore. Manipal Jaipur’s ECE offers 85–90% placements via partnerships with Qualcomm, Bosch, and Dell, emphasizing embedded systems and IoT, though 60–70% of roles are in IT due to limited core-sector opportunities. While Manipal’s QS World recognition and smaller batch sizes ensure personalized mentorship, its NIRF #83 engineering ranking reflects moderate academic standing compared to VIT’s NAAC A++ accreditation.

Recommendation: Opt for VIT AP CSE to leverage higher placement assurance, broader recruiter access, and tech-aligned curricula, accepting potential variability in roles. Choose Manipal Jaipur ECE only if prioritizing institutional mentorship and interdisciplinary hardware-software training over branch preference. For balanced pathways, explore CSE at Manipal Jaipur (if rank permits) or ECE at VIT AP as backups. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
