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.

Yes, Aligarh Muslim University is way better than private universities such as VIT, SRM, Manipal, and Thapar for B.Tech. AMU is a central university and is widely recognized. Many times students prefer AMU prefer NITs.
It has international-level infrastructure and a great faculty base. Many professors from CS and Electronics branches are past employees of top MNCs like Microsoft, CISCO, etc. The placements are pretty good for B.Tech. AMU B.Tech placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 5.62 LPA.
The industrial exposure is less compared to the other institutes. But as AMU is located in the vicinity of NCR, the location advantage makes up for it.
It depends on your interest. If you are well aware of EIE and have an interest in the branch then choosing VIT will be better. However, if you want to play it safe then go for CSE//ECE in Amrita University.
I have a few friends from Amrita University, and according to them the rules are very strict and the curriculum is also a bit challenging. The exams of Amrita University are generally very tough and you will have to work very hard to clear all the exams.
