If you are interested in CSE, then going to Amrita University’s Amritapuri campus will be better. Here is why.

• Amrita consists of active student clubs like FOSS. It consists of a lot of members and participates in Open Source projects, talking at conferences worldwide, getting into and completing programs like Google Summer of Code.
• India’s top 1 CTF team - b10s, belong to Amrita. The alumni of the club are now working in top companies such as Google, VMware, Synack, CISCO, Flipkart, etc with the highest CTC package of 75 lakhs per annum.

If you are into competitive programming, Amrita has an ICPC and programming club, which has produced students to the world finals too. It has produced some of the best coders from India namely, Sai Vigneshwar, Aswin Krish, Sandeep Kumar Roy, and many more.

One of my cousins studied at Amrita University. According to him, the faculty members at Amrita are really good. Many of them work across different research centers, departments, and multiple campuses. I would clarify that I do not have much knowledge about the faculties at the other mentioned colleges and thus won’t be able to provide any insights.

• Having said that, faculties are just a part of our studies and do not constitute the whole studies themselves.
• They contribute to our studies but the major part of it depends on us as students.
• They won’t be looking after or spoon-feed the syllabus like in school. They will teach you and guide you, it is your responsibility to learn whatever is being taught.

You should also get engaged with peer groups and other extracurricular activities out of your sheer interest and self-motivation. This plays a very important role as well as provides a lasting impression.

It depends on your future goals and interests. If you want to pursue a job afterward then CSE will be the best branch for you. It will give you better opportunities than any other branch. You can choose Mechanical if you are interested in the automobile sector. If you are interested in robotics then the ECE branch would be a better option for you.

The CSE branch is good at Amrita University because the college has various types of technical groups like FOSS. This group is dedicated to creating open-source projects and completing various technical projects like Google's summer code. There are a large number of selects for this kind of project as well. If you are interested in security systems then this college has got the number 1 CTF team. If you are interested in programming then there is a dedicated programming group as well. There are a large number of competitions held in these groups. These groups will strengthen your core skills. The faculties of the CSE branch are also quite experienced and cooperative.

The decision to pursue an M.Tech in automotive engineering from Amrita University Coimbatore, sponsored by TCS, would depend on several factors, such as your career aspirations, personal interests, financial situation, and the quality of education and opportunities offered by the program.

Here are a few points that may help you make an informed decision:

• Quality of education: It is essential to research the quality of education offered by the program to ensure that it aligns with your expectations and career goals. You can look up the course curriculum, faculty profile, industry collaborations, and research opportunities offered by the program to assess its quality.
• Industry collaborations and placements: You must check if the program has collaborations with leading automotive companies and if it offers industry internships and placements. It will help you gain hands-on experience and increase your chances of securing a job in the industry.
• Cost: Consider the cost of the program and evaluate if it is within your budget. Also, check if TCS provides any financial assistance or scholarships that can help you cover the expenses.
• Reputation: Evaluate the reputation of Amrita University Coimbatore and the TCS sponsorship program in the industry. A good reputation can enhance your chances of getting hired and building a successful career.

Overall, if the program meets your expectations and aligns with your career goals, pursuing an M.Tech in automotive engineering from Amrita University Coimbatore, sponsored by TCS, can be a valuable investment in your education and career.

This is really a personal question because if you are confident about yourself and determined enough, then you can certainly repeat another year to crack JEE (Mains) the next year and get into some of the coveted IITs or NITs. Definitely, they will have superior peers, placements, facilities, and many other things.

If however you are unsure of yourself and do not want to repeat another year, then certainly Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amrita University) at Ettimadai, Coimbatore will be a good option for pursuing computer science (CS). You could also consider the Amritapuri, Kerala campus of the university which is known better for its CSE program. The reasoning for the same is as follows.

• The cybersecurity club of the campus, bi0s, was ranked number 1 for two consecutive years by CTFtime.org.
• The FOSS club of the campus finished in the top 10 worldwide in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) in 2016.
• The course and facilities are also comparable to some NITs. The placements are also good.

Finally, if you are OK with not getting IITs or some top NITs and can get with that then Amrita University is a good option. If you want more then you can certainly drop another year.

My brother completed his B.Tech from Amrita University and trust me, getting into top US universities is not an easy job even after trying hard. You need to maintain the following profile to get into MIT or any other top US varsity.

• Good GPA: 9.0+
• Good GRE scores (For MIT 336+)
• Good TOEFL Score (For MIT 115+)
• High-level projects that are relevant to your opted research field
• A good number of Journals or international conference publications or presentations.
• Relevant work experience at some Core Company may be preferred.

Maintaining such a profile is quite tough especially in universities like Amrita University. It is a fairly new university and has a great Mechanical Dept but the emphasis on research is pretty narrow, mostly limited to Standard research in Robotics and Automobiles. High-level projects and research is not that remarkable as you can achieve in IITs which might help you get into MIT.

A rank of 3861 is not enough for getting a seat in CSE at Amrita University, Coimbatore. The points below provide a brief overview of the chances of getting a CSE seat on other campuses.

• In the Coimbatore campus of Amrita University, CSE is the department to get its seats filled first. So, there are no chances for you if you are from Andhra Pradesh.
• However, if you are very much interested in Computer Science, you can try for the Amritapuri campus.
• A rank of 3861 is somewhat close to the closing rank of CSE at the Amritapuri campus for students from other states. So, you have few chances of getting a seat at the Amritapuri campus too. But, you should apply for counseling as there are some chances left.

Therefore, it is very much clear that such a rank is not enough for CSE at Amrita University, Coimbatore, but may fetch a seat in the last rounds of counseling at the Amritapuri campus.

Before choosing the institute, you should decide on the branch. Among Computer Science and Mechanical choose what interests you and decide the institute based on that.

If you really have a flair for computer science and you love learning coding languages then Amrita University is the best for you. Apart from high rank, the university consists of many clubs that can help you in learning various domains and make you a perfect master in the field. Also, the infrastructure of the college is appealing with excellent facilities being provided to all the students including labs, library, and well-qualified faculty.

Here is a brief outline of the two institutes.

So, choose the branch first and decide on the college based on that.
