B.Tech in ME from BITS PILANI is better option then doing it from VIT due to following concerns
BITS Pilani is a preferred destination to recruit from, for a large number of companies.

For the complete list of companies you may refer:

The placement at MITM is really good and appreciable, if you are in CS and IT you get placed easily if you do not have any of the back lock and you have skills you will surely get placed.
Now, the college has upgraded to university. So, number of companies coming for placements are more as compared to previous years but the average package is around 4-4.5 Lakhs and around 80-90% of CS/IT student get placed in the following companies.
Major recruiters include TCS, Cognizant, CSC, Amdocs, MuSigma, etc. The jobs offered to the students are mostly in the computer science field, even to the mechanical students. Placements for the year 2016 were horrible though, with various major companies refraining from recruiting from our college.
This is the problem in the college that not too much companies come for placements and the above one come and students have to be get satisfied with them only and make sure it's only for CS and IT students and don't get confused with the other branches. They can also get placements only if they know coding languages and in these companies only, as there are no separate companies for them.

Mechatronics is a specialization in Mechanical Engineering which is used to create and maintain robotic structures using the principles from Mechanical Engineering. Few colleges offer this course as a degree course in B.Tech and few as a post graduate course in M.Tech. I would suggest doing B.tech in ME and then specializing in Mechatronics as Mechanical provides you ample of opportunities if you ever change you mind for Mechatronics. The job opportunities in this sector are few but it is fine as the number of Mechatronics engineers is also less as compared to other branches. You can find job opportunities in Electronics, Automobile, Manufacturing, mining, transport, defense etc. You may also find opportunities in Army, the Navy and the Air force and organisations like the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Some of the profiles you can work for are -Industrial Robots (Operation and Maintenance) and Automation related areas.Avionics and Aeronautics.
Industrial systems and Process control like on PLCs and pneumatic control.
This is just some of the ideas I can get now, there can be more opportunities out there.

Hi,
You can crack any engineering examination in 3 months if you are quite clear over your concepts and have a perfect time management.
However, here are some tips to be followed to get good results in 3 months:
UPTU/UPSEE examination requires different approach for preparation. The level of questions asked in this examination is moderate. Some of the questions are even repeated from previous year question papers. It also happens that in UPSEE/UPTU examination some questions are asked from JEE Main Paper. So, it is very important to solve as many previous years question paper as you can. You should also solve IIT JEE Mains last 5 year's question paper.
Go through the previous year question papers. As if you start its preparation 3 months before then it's better to go through last 20 years previous papers which are available at any stationary shop and revise your 11th and 12th standard books.
For physics: - It's better to opt those books which contain different types of questions. No need to work over HC Verma. 40 days preparation for UPSEE from Arihant text book and previous year's papers from Arihant will be helpful.
For chemistry:- P. Bahadur and Ranjeet Shahi are good as they contain a lot of questions as well as they also carry the questions according to the level of difficulty.
For maths: - Mathematics for UPSEE, it would be better to go for R.K Sharma (MCQ) and previous years papers from Arihant.
