SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur

As far as universities are concerned, the criterion are:
1] The recognition.
2] The quality of delivery [which is measured by the level of placements.
On above criterion, VIT stands first, then comes Manipal University & SRM. Today, the admission is also tough at VIT, because of its significant growth in positive word of mouth. Above all, it is always an individual's effort.

As a student of TSM, I would recommend you to adopt Thiagarajar School OF Management, as fees is lower. You will be learning Mba course in Madurai, a place where you can save most of your pocket money. Placement is comparatively lower than SRM, but if you have a never-give-up spirit, you will extract value from wherever you work.
In terms of cost of studying do in TSM, if you are looking for more expertise and better packages do in SRM.

Hi Akashdeep, The overall fees for B.E course at BITS Pilani including hostel is about 16.5-17 Lacs. VIT and SRM are having fees about 12 Lacs for all four years overall.
All the best.

Well without SRMJEE you can go through management quota.

Hi Sundarvasan,
B.Tech lateral entry is applicable in SRM. You can visit their site to know the procedure. All the best.
Thanks.

You should score more than 180.

I do not know about the other two, but for SRM it is good, though not equivalent to CSE.

VJTI and VITEEE are the best among all the colleges you have mentioned for mechanical engineering but according to their fee structure, VJTI is good because it's fee is less than VITEEE.
