Hello Hardik Sir, , Once again thanks for your prompt reply. I had contacted a CA but unfortunately I could not get the proper advice or clarity i wanted. so I want to understand if following solution can also be considered . We file the return of deceased as per the 26AS so that there is no problem in getting TDS refund as the total income of deceased is less than the taxable limit. But while filling my return I include all interest earned after the date of death of deceased in my income and clearly mentioning this with proper remarks under heading "income from other sources" in my ITR .

Ans: VIT Vellore CSE and Manipal Bangalore CSE are both reputable choices, but they offer distinct experiences. VIT Vellore has a very large student intake—over 7,500 students placed in 2024 and 867 recruiters—resulting in a highly competitive environment where top placements go to the best-performing students, and the campus can feel overcrowded. The average CSE package at VIT is ?9.9 lakh, with high-profile recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Cisco, but students often report that only the top tier secure the best offers, and the sheer batch size can dilute individual attention. Manipal Bangalore (MIT) CSE, while smaller in scale, offers a more personalized academic experience, modern infrastructure, and a placement rate of 77% in 2025, with an average package of ?11.76 lakh and recruiters such as Amazon, Bosch, and Cipla. Student life at Manipal is often described as more balanced and less stressful, with a strong alumni network and a campus culture that emphasizes holistic development. Both colleges have modern labs and good faculty, but Manipal’s manageable batch size and focused student support are notable advantages.

The recommendation is to choose Manipal Bangalore CSE for a more personalized learning environment, better student-faculty ratio, and a balanced campus life, especially if you are concerned about VIT’s overcrowding and highly competitive atmosphere, while still ensuring strong placement prospects and industry exposure. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
