From the given list of institutions, NITTE Meenakshi is highly recommended over the rest of the institutes.

Following are some reasons why you should choose NITTE Meenakshi.

• It has a great campus with decent placement records, an excellent crowd, and above-average faculty.
• The fact that it is an autonomous institution is like a cherry on the cake as the students don't have to face problems faced by VTU students. Being an autonomous university, it offers a great curriculum, student diversity, and modern infrastructure. 
• The only con is the location which is away from the city, but there is good connectivity to the college.

Given below is a brief overview of the five institutes. 

So, on the basis of the above-highlighted information, it is safe to say NITTE Meenakshi is a better alternative.

A friend of mine stayed at the HKG Hall of Residence at Acharya Institute. Some of the important aspects of the hostel life at Acharya Institute according to his experience are as follows. 

• The double sharing hostel rooms are priced at INR 1.1 and INR 1.47 Lakh per annum respectively.
• The rooms are spacious and come with attached bedding, storage facilities, and lights. 
• The quality of food available in the hostel mess can be better. 
• In some cases, the food items either get over within 15 to 20 minutes of being served, and at other times a huge quantity of food gets wasted.
• However, not everyone comes here for wasting food and recouping money thereafter.
• The majority of the occupiers of the hostel are students of 1st year, whereas most of these students move out of the hostels into individual accommodations or PG room services once they are through 2nd year.
• The hostel environment, room-mates, and fellow students will have a direct impact on your study and personal experience.
• It is essential to learn to develop your own skills while living in the hostel and studying at the institute in order to ensure progress.

However, considering all the above factors, you should make a firm decision while choosing the hostels. As your main aim is to study & develop new learning skills for career growth while living in the hostel and wasting your money should not be your priority.

Before deciding, you should pay a visit to both the institutes. After analyzing what they have to offer, choose as per your convenience. 

Here are some factors you should have knowledge about AIT (Acharya Institute of Technology). One of my colleagues is a Communications and English language Professor here, and can possibly elaborate on this subject better. 

• Since he interacts with the students and professors of the Aeronautical department, he mentions that they have unlimited energy for student facilitation, guidance, and mentoring. 
• They take part in a large number of events, whenever organized. 
• If you visit the campus, you will be thrilled to see their enthusiasm regarding their ongoing projects. 
• Acharya Institute of Technology claims to have strong tie-ups with American, European, and other foreign universities, making it rather simpler to pursue higher studies overseas. 
• A large number of students also visit my colleague for in-house TOEFL coaching, before eventually applying for the student visa to the United States. 

In fewer words, it is a life-changing course, if pursued with proper guidance and efficiency. Hope this answers your query.

One of my friends got into the Acharya Institute of Technology for the Information Science Engineering course through the management quota. Interestingly, I was also looking up some decent colleges for Engineering in Karnataka for my sister, so I might be able to help you with your question.

I would further be mentioning certain situations or circumstances that you might face ahead. These can be:

• If, via KCET, you do manage to grab a college that does not match the rank that Acharya Institute of Technology belongs to, or is 2 or 3 ranks below of the institute, do not go for it as it would not be worth it.
• This is because there would not be any difference in the institutes that are after the ones mentioned in the top -10 to 15 ones. If you have potential, your performance would establish that.
• If you feel that ISE and CSE are genuinely your thing, go for it. If not, B.Sc. would be a better choice.
• If the total sum of 10 lakh rupees does not seem a big deal to your family or you. You can go for it.

Under circumstances similar or closer to these, you can think about pursuing it or securing otherwise. The choice is entirely yours.
