I got an seat in SRM KTR main campus for btech in CSE core but the fees is around 4.75 lakhs per year is there best to join and any help about the placement for CSE core or should I look into some other college any guidance.

Ans: SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) CSE is NAAC A++ and NIRF 13th-ranked, with a ?4–4.75 lakh annual fee. CSE placements are strong: 80%+ students placed, 1,300+ recruiters, and over 5,500 offers in 2024, with top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. The curriculum is industry-oriented, faculty are research-active, and the campus features modern computing labs and robust alumni support. However, the fee is significantly higher than many comparable private colleges. If cost is not an issue, SRM KTR’s CSE remains a top private option, but for value, you may consider alternatives like RV College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, or Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore, where fees are lower (?1–2 lakh/year), placements are similarly strong (75–95%), and industry exposure is high. VIT Vellore is also a premier alternative, consistently ranked higher, with a similar or better placement record and slightly lower fees.

Recommendation: Join SRM KTR CSE if you seek a top-ranked, industry-focused, and placement-strong private university and cost is not a concern; otherwise, consider RVCE, MSRIT, or VIT Vellore for comparable placements, lower fees, and strong industry reputation. Avoid lesser-known private colleges for better long-term value. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
