One of my friends joined VITEEE with a 23,000 rank and got a seat in ECE through the management quota. His rank in SRMJEE was around 14,000 and got IT without any quota on the main campus. But SRM's reputation was not good as a university.
He wanted to pursue Engineering in Computer Application and was looking for a University which has a good brand, student environment, and reputation.
Manipal University being one of the top private institutions in India was his final destination.
If you are looking forward to joining it then go for it, you will surely not regret your decision.
