Thapar vs VIT Vellore for B.Tech CSE: Delhi NCR Student Needs Guidance

Ans: Dear Yash,

Please AVOID Manipal due to some reasons like atmosphere etc. Not advisable. If you are from Northern India, Thapar is highly recommended as it is better than VIT-Vellore.

Whatever Institute / University & Branch you choose, you should keep upgrading your skills from your 1st year itself till your Campus Placement during your last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by your College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Bright Future, Yash.

Ans: Sanjay, For best overall CSE experience and placements, BITS Pilani and VIT Vellore lead, with BITS slightly ahead academically and VIT offering robust industry connections. SRM is a good alternative but generally ranks below these two. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Rajneesh Sir, Both VIT Vellore CSE (Category 1) and Thapar CSE are excellent options in terms of academics, placements, and campus life. VIT Vellore stands out for its diverse student community, modern curriculum, and a broad spectrum of recruiters offering attractive salary packages. However, it is worth noting that VIT’s campus can be quite crowded. Thapar, on the other hand, offers a more focused academic environment and typically reports slightly higher average CSE packages, but this comes with a significantly higher fee compared to VIT Category 1.

While both institutions have strong placement records and academic support, VIT’s national reputation, larger peer network, and lower fees make it a more cost-effective choice overall. Unless you have a strong preference for Thapar’s proximity to Delhi or its specific alumni network, VIT Vellore CSE (Category 1) generally offers better value for money.

As a suggestion, consider Thapar if the location advantage near Delhi is important and the higher fee is manageable for your family. I also recommend discussing the substantial fee difference and location preferences with your son, as involving him in the decision-making process will help you make a more informed and mutually agreeable choice. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
