Ans: Manipal Institute of Technology Bengaluru CSE reports a 90–95% placement rate for its inaugural batches, with recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and Accenture engaging students through centralized MIT Manipal drives. VIT Chennai CSE (Category 5) achieved 3,160 total offers, including 2,192 unique and 1,457 regular offers in 2025, alongside 763 dream and 936 super-dream offers, reflecting robust industry interest and category 5 cutoff ranks around 22,400–22,700 in 2025 counselling. Amrita Chennai’s CSE (Cybersecurity, Category 3) benefits from 100% placement and internship opportunities, with over 300 recruiters and an average package of ?9 LPA in 2024. Scaler School of Technology outcomes show 45.6% placed at MNCs and 54.4% at startups, with 43.8% in SDE-2 or higher roles and a 4.5–5× ROI for those transitioning from product firms. With a JEE Main CRL of 1.48 lakh (OBC 48,000, Home State TN), CSAB and institute-level spot rounds for NITs/IIITs are unattainable—2025 closing ranks for NIT Trichy CSE (1,141) and NIT Warangal CSE (409), and IIITB CSE all-India ranks are well below 5,000, far above your rank.
Recommendation: Opt for VIT Chennai CSE for its extensive offers and dream placements; consider MIT Bengaluru CSE if you prefer a focused Bangalore IT hub environment; pursue Amrita Chennai CSE Cybersecurity only if your interest is narrowly in security; leverage Scaler for career switch but secure your engineering degree first. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
