Hello Aspirant,

With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.

Now, comparing your other two options:

VIT Bhopal vs. Chandigarh University (CU):

1. VIT Bhopal

   • Part of the reputed VIT group.

   • Newer campus but decent infrastructure.

   • Better academic reputation than CU.

   • Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.

2. Chandigarh University (CU):

   • Known for aggressive placement marketing.

   • Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.

   • Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.

Which Should You Choose?

If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.

All the best for your admission process.

Placement outcomes at Chandigarh University (CU) exhibit notable variability across different courses and departments, as reflected in recent data and student feedback up to 2024.

Engineering (CSE, IT, ECE):

The Computer Science and IT branches demonstrate particularly strong placement statistics, with reported placement rates often exceeding 90percent. Leading multinational companies—including Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, and TCS—frequently recruit from these departments. However, traditional core engineering disciplines such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering experience comparatively fewer opportunities within their specialization, with many students seeking alternative career paths or off-campus options.

Management (MBA, BBA):

Management programs attract reputable organizations like Deloitte, Flipkart, and ICICI Bank. The average compensation for these placements typically falls in the Rs4–5 lakh per annum range. Higher-level roles and salary packages are generally achieved by students who demonstrate exceptional performance and initiative.

Pharmacy, Biotechnology, and Sciences:

These fields offer some industry collaborations and training tie-ups, but core job placements are relatively limited. Many graduates opt for further academic pursuits or explore off-campus employment opportunities.

Hotel Management / Tourism:

The university maintains strong industry connections in the hospitality sector, facilitating internships and placement offers from prominent brands such as Taj and Oberoi. Students in these programs benefit from consistent industry engagement and practical training.

Liberal Arts, Humanities, Journalism:

Placement opportunities in these disciplines are more limited. While some students secure internships or positions with startups, the majority rely on their own networks and independent job searches to find suitable roles after graduation.
