My son getting mechanical in VIT vellore & CSE in VIT bhopal, which is better , dont have amy branch preference. Mechanical in VIT vellore or in Manipal Which one is better if opting for mechanical?
Ans: Shobita Madam, VIT Vellore’s B.Tech Mechanical Engineering program, part of an A++ NAAC-accredited university, features core labs—CNC machining, fluid systems, automotive chassis, robotics, and CAD/CFD—with a four-year cohort of 60 students and industry tie-ups for internships. Over the past three years, mechanical placements averaged around 50%, supported by a Career Development Cell engaging recruiters like Honda, Maruti and Saipem. Manipal Institute of Technology’s similar B.Tech Mechanical programme at MIT Manipal is NAAC A++ and NBA-Tier-1 accredited, offers advanced manufacturing, thermal, materials, mechatronics and digital-manufacturing labs, and recorded 77% placements in 2025 with over 230 recruiters, including Amazon, Bosch and Accenture. Manipal’s average package stood at ?11.76 LPA, median ?9.69 LPA, reflecting stronger campus recruiting consistency and global recruiter presence.

Recommendation: For higher placement consistency, a broader recruiter network, and slightly stronger average packages in core engineering, choose MIT Manipal Mechanical; if you prioritize VIT’s brand recognition and its specific automotive-industry connections, opt for VIT Vellore Mechanical, balancing lower placement rates with targeted internships. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
