Hello there!

Though both the colleges SRM and VIT are considered similar in correspondence to the percentage of students placed , the highest package at SRM 2021 was 35 LPA  whereas the same at VIT 2021 was 44 LPA by Microsoft to 8 students.  And if you compare the tution fee of both the colleges from there official websites. Tution fees of VIT per year is INR 1,95,000 and that of SRM is INR 3,50,000 (without any scholarships).

Top recruiters at SRM were Microsoft, Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, I nfosys, EY, HUL, IFB, Titan, CEAT,etc

Top recruiters at VIT were Microsoft, Udaan, Cisco, Amazon, etc.

To choose the specialisation subjects you

should think of the course that is going to be in much demand in future. According to present scenario both AI and Machine learning are highly preferred. In your situation it would be clever to go for CSE with specialization in AI or ML according to your choice in VIT Chennai or if you can get the main campus vellore, that's a plus point. Choosing CSE at VIT is better because of the fee and there is pretty less crowd in comparison to SRM. So, that's in your favour as you will get less competition to tackle with. It was a suggestion, yet the final decision is yours.

Good luck with your future!
