B.Tech

All three colleges are well-renowned. When it comes to comparison, there are a lot of differences, like in fees, campus culture, placements, etc. The term better is subjective. It is based on your criteria. So I would like to give a brief about all three, and you can have a clear picture.

BITS:- It is considered the top choice for many. They have a strong curriculum, flexible electives, and a lot of freedom. Their placements are good, especially in Pilani. No attendance policy and a strong alumni network. But the demerit is the high fees and highly competitive entrance exam, BITSAT. If you are the one who wants good exposure and can afford the fees, then go for it.

Amrita:- It's known for its strong academic structure and disciplined culture, especially in the Coimbatore campus. The entrance exam, AEEE, is easier than BITSAT. Placements are decent, but the campus rules are strict. You find less freedom when compared to other colleges. If you are the one who prefers a good academic environment with moderate fees, then go for it.

VIT:- VIT is known for its strong brand. Placement is good in numbers, but also the number of students is very large. So it purely depends on students' own efforts and skills. Competition is high, and quality varies based on campus. If you are self-motivated and actively works on skills then this is for you.

Choose BITS if you want good exposure, freedom and placements. Choose Amrita if you prefer discipline. Choose VIT if you can standout of the crowd.

The "B.Tech" tag is a legal academic status in India. How each school provides this differs significantly:

• Polaris (PST): Offers a full-time, on-campus Integrated B.Tech in CSE (AI & ML). The degree is officially awarded by Medhavi Skills University (MSU), which is a UGC-recognized State Private University (Section 2 (f) of the UGC Act). This makes it a formal B.Tech degree valid for UPSC, GATE, and MBA.

• Scaler (SST): Scaler is not a university itself. It provides a B.Sc. in Computer Science from BITS Pilani (online/distanced mode) alongside their own specialisation certificates. While BITS is prestigious, it is technically a B.Sc., not a B.Tech.

• Newton (NST): Similar to Polaris, Newton partners with universities like Rishihood University or Ajeenkya DY Patil University to provide a UGC-recognized B.Tech in CS & AI.

The highest stipend earned by a first-year student at Polaris School of Technology (PST) in the 2024-25 cycle is $6,000 (approx. ₹5.05 Lakhs). This record was set by a student who secured a prestigious Full-Stack Developer internship at UN-Habitat, demonstrating the global competitiveness of the PST curriculum within the first 8 months of the program. Additionally, the pilot batch has seen exceptional domestic and international internship success. Five students secured internships with a stipend of ₹3.6 Lakhs. Out of which Three students were recruited by Tectonic as Software Development Interns and two students were recruited by GNA Energy for software roles. Polaris also set a national record with 11 students cracking Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and others securing the Linux Foundation's LFX Fellowship and Summer of Bitcoin.
