Which ranks higher, VIT or Anna University Chennai?
First of all, don’t trust the official figures regarding rankings for colleges. They are misleading and are meant for advertisement purposes only. No good college needs to show itself at the top of the rankings.
Now comparing VIT and Anna University, Anna University is definitely better in the ranking than VIT. Its CEG branch is at another level and not on par with VIT at all. Some points that support this opinion are:
-
Student quality at Anna University is better than at VIT.
-
VIT is a private university therefore more expensive than AU
-
The curriculum is harder in AU than in VIT, but the assessments are direct and easy here.
-
Placement opportunities are better at AU because of the variety of companies that visit the campus in contrast to the mass IT recruits that happen in VIT.
All these points strongly favor my opinion. One thing to keep in mind here is that when I say Anna University is better I mean the main campuses (CEG, MIT, ACT) not the affiliated colleges.
How should one choose between Anna University and VIT, Vellore?
To make a wise choice between Anna University and VIT Vellore, you need to consider the following factors:
Your Goal: Your choice should be based on what your purpose for joining college is. If you are studious and have serious ambitions then go for CEG whereas if you want to spend a relaxed college life with a blend of fun go for Anna University
Location: Location wise CEG definitely has the upper hand. It is located right in the center of the city. If you are the kind to roam around and explore then CEG is a good option. But if you are studious and are planning to stay in your college for 4 years, the location of your college does not matter.
