How is KIIT better than VIT, SRM and Manipal?

I would place these institutions in this rank-

1. MIT (Main Campus- Manipal) 
2. VIT
3. SRM
4. KIIT

However, KIIT will overtake VIT and SRM because the academics and placements at this institution are getting better over the years.

As an alumnus of MIT, here are a few reasons why I have placed MIT in the top:

1. Top Engineering streams like CSE, IT, Mech, ECE, and EEE at MIT are as good as the NITs.
2. It has only merit-based seats and no management quota. On the other hand, in KIIT and other institutions, the majority of intake is from management quota.
3. The All India MU-OET exam brings in a good crowd at MIT. The campus life, faculty, and alumni are also great.
4. MIT has a decent placement record and a great campus life. During placements at MIT, I sat for 50 companies and by the end received 3 placement offers. Currently, I am working at TATA Motors.
5. If the high fee is not an issue for you, MIT is the best option after IITs, BITS, and top NITs.
6. People tolerate opposing views and the approach is more egalitarian at MIT.
7. MIT student has the distinction of being an undergraduate with the highest number of research papers in the country to his credit (22 research papers in 4 years).

Though KIIT is a good institution with improving academics and placements, I would say that MIT ranks the highest among the four.
