My son has got admission in SRM in Electronics & Communication engg. In Main Campus. Further, he has scored 90 in MIT, Manipal...probable to get Mechanical engg since Rank not released yet. Which will be better?

Ans: SRM Kattankulathur’s ECE program reports an 80–85% placement rate with 19% of offers in core electronics roles (embedded systems, IoT) and 30% in IT/consulting, supported by partnerships with firms like Qualcomm and Bosch. Its NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #101–150 engineering ranking ensure academic rigor, though median salaries hover around ?5.95 LPA for UG programs. Conversely, MIT Manipal’s Mechanical Engineering demonstrates a 77% placement rate (2025) with a median salary of ?9.69 LPA, leveraging its NIRF #57 engineering ranking and industry ties to firms like L&T and Bosch. While SRM provides higher placement assurance, MIT offers stronger institutional credibility and interdisciplinary opportunities in robotics and smart manufacturing. Recommendation: Prioritize SRM ECE for balanced core-tech opportunities and consistent placements, opting for MIT Mechanical if valuing brand reputation and higher median salaries, despite slightly lower core-sector roles. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
