Honestly,
The so called ‘tag’ of being from a government college might force you to think hard about the newer IIIT’s , But believe me , 4 years down the road, You’ll want good companies coming in for placement more than anything .
VIT gives you a sense of security when it comes to the placement (talking specifically about CSE) . I know the whole batch going to some IT Firm is what reputation outsiders hold of us.
But, We’re doing a lot better ! Every single year , our Highest salary is increasing by leaps , The average stands somewhere close to 6 LPA. But , That’s for all the streams , CSE would be A LOT better than that , I don’t know the exact figures and i don’t want to make any false claims here.
The Management quota while being a sad fact, is a reality. But, The reason for this is the extensive amount of money required to run an institute. The fees for merit-based students stands around that of a NIT.Maybe, That’s why it exists.
But if you’re Proactive, this should not bother you as you can select your own faculty
Finally, Look at the real facts, Industry reputation of VIT is making exponential progress and, I don’t believe they’re fools hiring VITians at such mind blowing salaries of 39 LPA
