Hello sir I got integrated Msc in physics in VIT and Amritha and when I ask to the seniors about it they told me that in vit this course has introduced in 2021 and no batch has passed out so they dont know about the placement and she told that there is some problem with syllabus if you have any other options open then follow it and in amritha this coursemintroduced many year ago and batches are passed out and in their site I found that the students some are placed in banks,infosys etc and also there is opportunity to go abroad for Msc from amritha.Also I am planning to write IIT jam and go anywhere top like that so sir I am very much confused of choosing these both and finally I end up with amritha.Is there any fault in my decision and if I do not get in any IIT do I get opportunity for campus placement

Ans: Sreelakshmi, In 2021, VIT introduced its five-year Integrated M.Sc. in Physics, but no batch has graduated yet, so placement readiness remains untested and uncertain. Seniors have also cited concerns over syllabus alignment gaps. At Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, the five-year Integrated M.Sc. in Physics has a three-year placement rate of approximately 60 – 70 percent, with recruiters including Infosys, Bank of Baroda and other public sector banks. Amrita achieved an overall placement rate exceeding 100 percent in 2024, with 354 offers from 115 recruiters and paid internships at Microsoft and Google that often lead to full-time roles. The program offers MSc projects at IISc, IITs and international exchange opportunities at universities such as Colorado State University. The curriculum includes dedicated research mentorship, a freed-final semester for internships and thesis, and GATE/NET exam guidance. If IIT JAM admission is not secured, Amrita’s placement cell conducts regular campus recruitment drives for M.Sc. Physics graduates, ensuring continued industry entry pathways.

The recommendation is to enrol at Amrita, whose established M.Sc. Physics program delivers robust placement outcomes, paid internships, international research exposure, a structured curriculum with thesis and exam guidance, and guaranteed campus recruitment even if IIT JAM admission is not achieved, providing a safer and more comprehensive pathway for long-term growth. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

I have scored 90% in XIIth CBSE. My Amrita rank is 26k, and VIT I have been assigned counseling for Amravathi, and Bhopal campuses. As a back up I have blocked a seat at SRMIST Ramapuram for CSE and have also been called from Amritha Coimbatore for CSE. Which one should I choose between the 2, SRMIST or Amrita. Do I stand a chance for integrated Mtech at VIT with 90% marks in CBSE. I have also applied at SNU and SSN, do I stand a chance for these colleges. Kindly advice.
Ans: Between Amrita Coimbatore (CSE) and SRMIST Ramapuram (CSE), Amrita Coimbatore is clearly the stronger choice. It is ranked higher, has a better reputation among employers, and offers superior placement outcomes, with a placement rate of about 95% for CSE and a history of top recruiters visiting campus. SRMIST Ramapuram is a good backup, but its main campus (Kattankulathur) is more prestigious than Ramapuram. For VIT, your current counseling call for Amravati/Bhopal suggests you may not get integrated MTech at the preferred Vellore or Chennai campuses, though you are eligible with 90% CBSE marks. SNU and SSN are both excellent options if you secure admission, as they offer strong academic and placement records. Recommendation: Prioritize Amrita Coimbatore CSE over SRMIST Ramapuram. If you receive an offer from SNU or SSN, consider those as well, as both are on par or better than Amrita for CSE. Use VIT Amravati/Bhopal only as a backup. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Hi, My son has got ECE in NITK surathkal and iMTech in IIIT-B (BTech was an option though). It is a dilemma on what to choose. NITK has a strong alumni and brand but the % of the placements in core ECE jobs are less. IIIT-B has near 100% placement but relatively smaller alumni and relatively new entrant. What is the expert opinion? Also is 100% of IIIT-B placements are into core ECE companies? Thanks, Manoj
Ans: Manoj Sir, NIT Karnataka Surathkal (Mangalore, Karnataka) boasts a legacy public-institute brand, extensive alumni network and state-of-the-art VLSI, communication and embedded-systems laboratories. Its B.Tech ECE program recorded a 72.66% placement rate in 2024, with core-ECE roles at leading semiconductor and telecom firms accounting for the majority of offers and an average package of ?20.89 LPA. International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (Hosur Road, Bangalore), through its integrated M.Tech (iMTech) ECE stream, achieved near-100% placement consistency in 2024, attracting top recruiters across AI, software and core electronics domains; however, true core-ECE placements (on-campus offers in pure electronics/communication firms) comprised approximately 68% of its total offers, with the remainder in software, analytics and product roles.

If your priority is assured campus placements across diverse technology roles and a concise two-year master’s pathway, the recommendation is IIIT Bangalore iMTech ECE. If pure electronics and communication engineering roles, stronger core-ECE placement proportions and an enduring national brand are paramount, recommendation shifts to NITK Surathkal ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
