All three, MIT Manipal, VIT Vellore as well as SRM are leading Private Universities with excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities. However as far as Placements are concerned all three are on the same boat with standard placements for both Core and Circuital streams. However, VIT Vellore among the three has a more stricter curriculum and provides much effective engineering education. VIT Vellore even has an excellent tradition of students preparing for GRE/GATE and moving abroad or to higher technical institutes in India like Top IITs and IISc Bangalore for Masters or Doctoral degree.
