Hi Mukta,
Both the VIT Vellore and Manipal University Jaipur are excellent in their own branches of CS AI/ML in VIT and CSE in MUJ. However, the difference does exist if we compare further.
You should now decide based on your own preferences, you should also look which one is closer to your home for better reachability.
ALL THE BEST !
Yes, 380 5MET score, and your 12th score you comfortably, neat, both eligibility criteria. You are likely to be well above the cut-off for BSc nursing at Manipal University.
With an 8.9k MET rank, there's a good chance you can get into the B.Tech IT program at Manipal University Bangalore, but it depends on the specific cutoff for that program and your category (if applicable).
The expected cutoff for MIT Manipal can be between 5k to 35k.

Scoring 82 out of 240 in the Manipal Entrance Test means your r ank is likely to be above 40,000, based on previous years’ trends. Unfortunately, this rank is quite low for CSE Stream at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), especially at the main Manipal campus.
Manipal campus (main): CSE cutoffs are typically under 3,000–4,000 rank.
Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT) and Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) may have higher cutoff ranks for CSE — sometimes up to 15,000–20,000 or more.
