Choice depends on your career goals and interest.

BITS BPharm is a top institute but the course is in pharmacy, not related to computer science or engineering. Choose it only if you are interested in pharmaceutical or research fields.

SRM AP CSE offers good curriculum and infrastructure. It is suitable for students aiming for a tech career and has better scope in computer science.

VIT Bhopal CAE is a specialized course in computer applications and engineering. It is good for students interested in AI, data science, or related fields, but the campus is relatively new.

If you are focused on a career in computer science, SRM AP CSE is a better option among the three. Avoid BITS BPharm if your goal is to work in the tech industry.

Hello Aspirant,

With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.

Now, comparing your other two options:

VIT Bhopal vs. Chandigarh University (CU):

1. VIT Bhopal

   • Part of the reputed VIT group.

   • Newer campus but decent infrastructure.

   • Better academic reputation than CU.

   • Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.

2. Chandigarh University (CU):

   • Known for aggressive placement marketing.

   • Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.

   • Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.

Which Should You Choose?

If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.

All the best for your admission process.

Hello

• Not eligible for the general quota at VIT Pune with 62 percentile.

• You could explore management quota (but fees will be steep).

• Consider improving your score and reattempting JEE, or apply to other colleges with lower cutoffs.
