Question by Monika on May 23, 2025

Hello sir my son got ECE in Shiv Nadar noida and IT in VIT vellore Cat 5.. Manipal MET got 115 marks and 93% board marks rank is still pending... Air pls which one is better choice Shiv Nadar/Vit Vellore /manipal /or any other college if you suggest

Ans: Monika Madam, All three are good institutes but differ in focus and environment. For immediate placement prospects and established reputation, VIT Vellore IT (Cat 5) is strong but costlier. For a more personalized, research-driven experience with growing placements, Shiv Nadar University ECE is excellent. Manipal MET is a good alternative depending on rank and fees. Consider your son’s branch preference, budget, location and long-term goals before finalizing. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Shiv Nadar have this New ECE Electrical and computer engineering branch... First batch will come out in 2026 only.. Should we opt this New Branch while we are having VIT vellore IT category 5..Fees of shiv nadar and Vellore cat 5 almost same.. The onlu confusion to opt shiv nadar is that new Branch.

Ans: Shiv Nadar University’s new ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) program offers a forward-looking, interdisciplinary curriculum blending electrical, computer, and emerging technologies with strong faculty and infrastructure. The university’s overall placement record is excellent, but since the ECE branch is new, there is no direct placement data for it yet. In contrast, VIT Vellore’s IT program (Category 5) is well-established, with a long-standing reputation for consistent placements, a vast alumni network, and proven industry connections, though Category 5 comes with the highest fee and is typically filled after other categories.

If you value curriculum innovation, smaller batch size, and are willing to take a calculated risk on a new, future-oriented program at a rising university, Shiv Nadar’s ECE is a strong choice. However, if you prefer a tried-and-tested program with a reliable placement track record and established brand value, VIT Vellore IT is safer. Given both have similar fees, VIT Vellore IT is recommended for those prioritizing placement certainty and established reputation, while Shiv Nadar ECE is suitable for students keen on interdisciplinary learning and open to the risks and opportunities of a new program.
