I am from VIT Chennai and I have friends at srm vadapalani

Placements ,camous life,facilities,faculties,research equipment wise VIT is way better than SRM vadapalani.

ECE is an excellent course at VIT chennai.Even if you wish to do CSE course you can take a lot of CSE electives over vit,chennai as it is a flexible credit system.You choose your electives based on your interests .You can choose AI as your elective in vit chennai because that is how flexible the system is.If you do well at Vit chennai Your chance of dream and super dream placements are going to be very high. :)
