Hi,

As you have mentioned, you are interested in GATE only and not in placements . My suggestion would be, to go for colleges which have placement records (obviously MIT and VIT have good placements) because one cannot take risk of having only GATE as an option after college .

GATE is a national level competition, in which scoring well really needs hard-work and dedication, yes, you can, but I suggest to not only depend on this.

Bachelor's degree in engineering is a four years of long and exploratory journey, in which people change their decisions. People ideology when taking admission and when passing out in reality are changed most of the time.

MIT Manipal B.Tech fees ranges between 8 Lakh to 16 Lakh . (only academic)

VIT Vellore B.Tech fees ranges between 8 Lakh to 10 Lakh . (only academic)

Both colleges are really good and have reputation for its teaching and placements. I suggest you to choose college which is nearer to your home location.

I hope it covers your doubt .

Thank you!
