Between VIT-AP (Bhimavaram campus does not exist, you may mean VIT-AP Amaravati) offering IT (Information Technology) and SRKR Engineering College (Bhimavaram) offering AIDS (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science), here is a simple comparison to help you:

VIT-AP (IT Course)
It is part of the VIT group, which has a national brand name. VIT-AP is new but growing. IT course at VIT gives good exposure to coding, software development, internships, and projects. VIT also has centralized placement from Vellore main campus which supports AP campus to an extent. Facilities are modern. Some big companies do visit.

SRKR (AIDS Course)
SRKR is a well-established college in Andhra Pradesh. The AIDS course is new but becoming popular. SRKR has a strong academic base, and local companies do come for placements. The AIDS course focuses more on machine learning, AI, and future tech. Teaching is good but placements are more limited compared to VIT.

Which is better?
If you want a better campus, national brand, and more chances for software jobs, choose VIT-AP IT.
If you want to stay local and focus on AI-related career and are okay with medium-level placements, then SRKR AIDS is also a good choice.

For future growth, VIT-AP IT may give you more exposure and flexibility for higher studies or job opportunities.

Hello Sudhakar,

Your EAMCET rank is 7549 and you belong to the BC-B category, you have decent chances to get CSE with AI & ML at VIT-AP, especially in later rounds of counselling. However, cutoffs are not fixed and change every year based on a number of factors like available seats, number of candidates applied and category-wise distributions. So keep your horizon open and also consider backup branches.

Hello Aspirant,

With a rank of 19743 in AP EAPCET 2025 AU region and BC-D category female, your chances of getting a core CSE seat in VIT-AP via the AP EAPCET counselling are minimal with that rank since vit-ap require less than 3000 rank for cse or its specializations.

But, if VIT-AP has a management quota or spot admission process, you can consider that for CSE or its specializations. In addition, it’s a good idea to check with the college admission office directly to verify the admission routes .

Hello Vaishnavi,

The CAF (Children of Armed Forces Personnel) subscription quota is not valid in VIT-AP. VIT has its admission policies and CAF reservations are mainly applicable to government institutions and not private universities such as VIT.

VIT AP is a private university located in Andhra Pradesh and it falls under the APSCHE regulations for unaided institutions. Therefore CAP quota is applicable there as well. If you belong to defence personnel family and fulfil domicile rules, you may apply under CAP category at VIT AP during counselling and seat allotment process  .You just need to provide proper documents like defence service certificate, CAP domicile proof, and other papers at the time of admission. They will give you seat under CAP category and you will pay fees like others. This is good opportunity for students from military families in Andhra Pradesh.

Good afternoon

Yes, the CAP or CAF reservation does apply to VIT AP counselling.

You must go through the state convenor process, not through direct admission, VITEEE, or the management quota.

Make sure you have the following:

A valid defence service certificate

Andhra Pradesh domicile

Properly completed the choice filling during counselling

It also requires more than five years of residence in Andhra Pradesh along with a valid defence certificate.

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 !
