Both the institute have certain advantages, which makes them the right choice for students of specific types. But, Amrita University is somewhat considered to be a better option among the two.

The points below state the advantages of both the institutes, which would help students, make a choice between the two.

• In terms of academics and placement of students, Amrita University stands out among the two by a considerable amount. It offers better placements to students, especially in branches like Computer Science and Engineering.

Therefore, having the most positive factors into account, Amrita University is a better choice among the two for a degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

According to my friend at SRM, the KTR campus of SRM is the best choice. If you consider factors like faculty, placements, and a lot more. The points below will provide you a brief overview of all the institutes stated above and the advantages of SRM over them.

• SRM University has three campuses, first in Kattankulathur, second in Ramapuram, and third in Vadapalani. The campus in Kattankulathur (KTR) is marked as the best among them.
• In SRM KTR, will make you a real engineer. It has excellent faculty, provides a lot of on-campus placement opportunities, and is also good in extra-curricular activities.
• The other two campuses of SRM, Ramapuram, and Vadapalani, are somewhat satisfactory, but not as good as the KTR campus.
• Talking about the NCR, the campus is quite far away from Delhi, which results in a lot of travel to and from Delhi on weekends.
• The faculty of NCR is not that good and so students have to be dependent on self-study. The placements are decent because it is held in the Chennai (KTR) campus. But, the NCR campus has much lesser fees than the Chennai campus and so, it is considered better.
• The Manipal University is called a happening campus, which provides excellent college life, extra-curricular activities, party culture, etc. But, students in Manipal University should be aware of the bad habits on campus and choose friends wisely for the same reason.
• The fee structure in Manipal University is also on a slightly higher side. It provides average quality placement to students.

Considering all the above points, it can be easily concluded that the SRM KTR campus is the best option.

I don't know much about CBIT and Hindustan University. But I won’t recommend you the NCR campus of SRM.

It is in fact not located in the National Capital Region. It is situated in Modinagar (Sikrikalan to be precise).The management of this college is very poor. You’ll be wasting a lot of energy for simple requests like getting statements attested, acquiring a recommendation letter, getting fee refunds, etc.

I studied CSE over there. The faculty for CSE is considered to be the best. However, in reality, most teachers don’t even have an idea of their specialization. You’ll find that the same teacher is taking classes for various specializations like Data Structures, Mobile Computing, Theory of Computation, Compiler, etc. New ideas aren’t encouraged in the classroom. 

The hardware in CSE labs is top notch, but the software is all outdated. The hostels are decent but the mess food is disappointing. The hostel wardens do minimum to maintain discipline. For placements, you’ll have to travel all the way to Chennai, with no support from the management, and no accommodation facilities. 

Thus, do not choose the NCR campus of SRM University, especially for the CSE program.
