My daughter got btech CSE in Gitam vishakapatnam and CSE core Data analytics VIT AP which should she choose ?

Hello,

Congrats to your daughter for securing seats in both Gitam Vishakhapatnam and VIT AP both are reputed private universities with strong infrastructure and academics.

• VIT-AP’s specialized CSE with Data Analytics is more focused and aligned with current tech trends like AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning. Gitam offers a more traditional CSE program, which is also good but broader in scope.
• In terms of Brand and Recognition VIT as a brand is slightly more recognized in industry circles, and the curriculum tends to be more industry-aligned. However, Gitam is no less when it comes to core technical trainng.
• Both campuses have solid placements, but VIT-AP is fast catching up with its Vellore counterpart. If the goal is specialization + better placement exposure, VIT-AP gets the edge.

So, if she’s interested in Data Analytics and wants to explore more targeted skillsets, VIT-AP would be a forward-looking choice. If she prefers a traditional route with flexibility in specialization later, Gitam is equally good.

All the best for her bright future!

GITAM (Visakhapatnam) and VIT-AP both are excellent universities but ultimately it will be based on your daughter's preferences for specialization, exposure and placements.

GITAM Visakhapatnam (CSE Core):

• Classical and flexible Computer Science curriculum.
• Established campus with a better alumni network and more mature placement ecosystem.
• Great option if she is interested in a broad CS education and feels undecided in specialism.

VIT-AP (CSE with Data Analytics):

• New-age curriculum appealing to popular, trendy field - Data Analytics.
• Associated with VIT brand; however, AP campus is quite young compared to VIT Vellore/Chennai.
• Great option if she has a strong interest in AI, Data Science or Analytics from Day 1.

If your daughter has clear interest in a career in Data Science/Analytics and doesn't mind a newer campus, she should consider VIT-AP CSE (Data Analytics) whose curriculum seems more future-looking. Otherwise, if she prefers more flexibility and established placements pathways GITAM CSE Core will offer better placement ecosystem.
