which is the best college vs Vidya vardhaka and sir m Visvesvaraya

Hello Aspirant,

We can not distinguish between two colleges as it will involve several factors.

I will try to compare the above two colleges based on factors like NAAC grade, faculty, infrastructure, placements.

Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering is a private college founded in 1997 located in Mysore. It is NAAC A recognized.

Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology is a private institution as well established in 1986 and has NAAC B++ accreditation. It is located in Bangalore.

Vidyavardhaka has better faculty and infrastructure and can promise you a good campus life.

M.Visvesvaraya has maintained a record of decent placements over the years and has fewer fees.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
