Asked by Anonymous - Jun 30, 2025Hindi

My Son has got admission in B Tech CSE (Gaming Technology) in SRM Ramapuram campus (not main KTR campus) and will be getting BTech CSE (Core) in TS EAPCET based merit list college - CMR or Geethanjali Hyderabad. In the long run, he wants to pursue a career in Game development, which we feel he can aspire to build from both CSE core or CSE game development course. The course fees for SRM would be 3.6 lacs per year (additionally 1 lac for hostel) and course fees for Hyderabad based colleges would be 4 lacs (entire course) and no hostel required since he would be a day-scholar. We want to understand if SRM Ramapuram CSE (GT) would make sense from long term perspective, ROI is not attractive considering 20 lacs of SRM vs 4 lacs of EAPCET merit based colleges. SRM main campus has a brand reputation, not sure about the second Ramapuram campus. Also, from the ROI perspective we are concerned. Need your inputs, in this regard- what would you suggest.

Ans: Hello dear.
Choose CSE Core at CMR or Geethanjali (Hyderabad). CSE Core in a good, low-cost Hyderabad college is more sensible and future-proof, both financially and academically. The final decision will be yours.
Good luck!

Question by Pavani - Jun 30, 2025Hindi

My son Got a seat in Manipal Bangalore in ECE dept . He also got eve seat in top local eapcet college ( VNR VJIET ) of Telangana . Manipal costs me around 30 lakhs whereas I can wrap it up the local top college around 15 lakhs ... which is better to choose ? Does manipal provide better opportunities and exposure and differ highly in packages ?

Ans: Hello Pavani,
There are many success stories of students passing out from local colleges who are now working as CEOs in various companies. Your son has secured a seat in a top college of Telangana (VNR VJIET). The cost of education there is lower compared to Manipal. It is not true that only institutes like Manipal provide better opportunities in terms of placement. Choose the best local college. The final decision will be yours.

Sir...my son has secured a seat at vit chennai in comp science(robotics) and amrita amritapuri for cse ..he is eligible for local colleges in telangana for his rank in eamcet..he has a score of 203 in bitsat...what would be an ideal choice given that he is not sure if he will pursue higher studies after bachelors

Ans: Hello dear,
If your son is gaining admission to a preferred branch in a good local college in Telangana, then choose the best one. VIT and Amrita are quite expensive compared to local colleges. There will be no hindrance to higher studies even if your son passes from a local college.

Sir, between KJ Somaiya EnTC & Symbiosis EnTC, what would be your recommendation, keeping cost/location aside - placements,faculty,labs etc

Ans: KJ Somaiya Institute of Technology’s Electronics & Telecommunication program, accredited NAAC A and NBA through 2025, has maintained 90–95% placement consistency with an average package of ?9.45 LPA over the last three years. Its 190-strong faculty, predominantly PhD/M.Tech-qualified, supports student research. The department features specialized labs—VLSI, DSP, Embedded Systems, Communication, PCB—and Cisco and Texas Instruments Centres of Excellence. Symbiosis Institute of Technology Pune’s E&TC, NAAC A++ accredited, achieved 91% UG placements with median packages of ?4.6–7.8 LPA in 2023–24, led by research-active HOD Dr. Pritesh Shah, and offers extensive VLSI to Solar PV labs along with MoUs with SparkMinda, KPIT, and Infosys Makers Lab.

recommendation: Opt for Symbiosis Institute of Technology Pune’s E&TC for its NAAC A++ accreditation, 91% placement consistency, research-driven leadership, and cutting-edge labs with strategic MoUs; choose KJ Somaiya EXTC only if NAAC A accreditation, slightly higher average package, and established alumni network align with your priorities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
