Hello,

Holding an AP EAMCET rank of 817 positions you favorably to obtain a seat in a reputable engineering branch at SRM University, Andhra Pradesh (Amaravati campus). According to the closing ranks from previous years, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) typically has closing ranks ranging from 390 to 4,904 (general category). Your position of 817 falls well within this range, indicating a strong likelihood of admission to the CSE program in the initial round of counselling.

Likewise, fields such as Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) possess closing ranks that exceed your standing. As a result, you can confidently anticipate acceptance into the leading branches, particularly CSE, at SRM AP during the forthcoming counselling session.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

Between VIT Chennai and SRM Kattankulathur for Electronics Engineering with VLSI specialisation, VIT Chennai is generally better in terms of:

• Placements: VIT has a slightly better placement record, especially for core electronics and VLSI roles.

• Core companies: More core and semiconductor companies like Intel, NXP, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments tend to visit VIT (mostly Vellore, but some do come to Chennai as well).

• Reputation: VIT has better industry recognition and alumni network in the core field.

So, if you are focused on VLSI and core job roles, VIT Chennai is a better option than SRM Kattankulathur .

Hope it helps !

Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations! You have multiple admission options!! Here is a short comparison to help you decide:

• SRM Ramapuram : Good brand value for placement opportunities - placement is the most positive area for the university. Ramapuram is a smaller campus and typically, has more of an industry focus compared to the Kattankulathur campus.
• LPU Jalandhar: Modern campus with national diversity, they boast good placements in CSE/IT, moderate ECE, and not as core focused. Fees are heavier than your other options and Jalandhar is also more distance from Tamil Nadu.
• Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) : Good name in Tamil Nadu as a part of Anna University. More geared to ECE core learning with affordable fees, better placement at the local level, and less distance.  Probably represents a more stable option for you if you are likely to be TNEA based and expect a long-term outcome.

If you value core ECE, want to be in Tamil Nadu, then Rajalakshmi Engineering College is a solid options. If however, you have an interest in attending a private university with more academics that are flexible and prepared to relocate: SRM Ramapuram is also an option.

Here are the AP EAMCET 2025 Round 1 closing ranks for B.Tech in Civil Engineering at SRM University Andhra Pradesh (Amaravati) in the General category:

• The highest closing rank reported is 12,866

For context, here are the previous trends:

• In 2024, Civil Engineering closed between 7,465 and 10,304

• In 2023, the closing rank reached approximately 15,657

Hello Shivanshu,

In summary, both SRM University AP & Graphic Era University are decent choices for you, however make sure to weigh up placement, faculty, peer group, research options and fees as deciding factors.

• SRM University AP for 90% scholarship is definitely value for money. While it is a new campus, it has solid industry partnerships with many opportunities for global exposure and research (ecosystem partners like UC Berkeley, MITx, etc). Their infrastructure is also very good.
• Graphic Era is a more established university with good placements, most notably in core CSE and IT based branches. Peer competition can sometimes make it feel more grounded and is more consistent.
  
  

With an 81.6 percentile in MHT CET (OBC) , your estimated rank is around 19,000–32,000 , placing you in a middle bracket, not the very top, but still strong. Here are the top Pune engineering colleges where you are realistically in contention for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering

• Top Choice: PCCOE - strong placement prospects and good brand value

• Second Tier: AISSMS – aim for Mechanical or Electrical

• Safe Picks: SCOE and SAE – reliable backup options

• Avoid COEP as admission is out of reach at this percentile

Hello Aspirant,

If you are choosing between CIT Kundrathur and SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) for Mechanical Engineering, your decision should depend on your priorities. SRM KTR is a reputed, NAAC A++ and NIRF-ranked university with excellent infrastructure, flexible curriculum, and better brand value. It offers greater exposure through internships, events, and international collaborations. However, for the Mechanical branch, core placements at SRM are moderate, and many companies are IT-based. On the other hand, CIT Kundrathur is gaining recognition for its focus on core engineering, skill development, and affordable fee structure. It provides strong support for core placements and industrial exposure, though it may lack the brand value and infrastructure of SRM. So, if your goal is campus life, brand name, and varied opportunities, SRM KTR is the better choice. But if you are focused on core mechanical engineering with a better return on investment, then CIT Kundrathur is a practical and smart option.

All the best for your career.

(https://www.srmist.edu.in/admission-india/engineering/) Hello Aspirant,

With a SRMJEEE Phase II rank of 4,109, you are eligible for admission to the CSE department at SRM University, Kattankulathur (Chennai) campus. However, as per the official scholarship criteria released by SRMIST, only candidates with ranks up to 194 are eligible for merit-based tuition fee waivers. Since your rank falls beyond this range, you will not be eligible for any scholarship or fee concession. Therefore, the annual tuition fee for CSE at SRM KTR for you will be rupees 4,00,000 per year. This amount is applicable whether you choose core CSE or any of its specialized branches like Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. For more detailed and updated information, you can refer to the official SRMIST website.

All the best for your admission.
