Since my sister is studying at SVNIT, I might be able to help you with your question. The placements at SVNIT in the department of chemical engineering are quite moderate.

After completing the degree, you can also opt for higher studies and go for research. The campus and the faculty members will help you with your project, thesis, presentations, etc.

If you want to sit for the placement drive, you can do it as well. The Training and Placement camp of the college will help you through and through. Some of the recruiting companies include Schlumberger Limited, GlaxoSmithKline, NTPC, GAIL, CIL, ONGC, Piramal Healthcare Limited, etc.

SVNIT and Nirma University are both the top-most engineering colleges in Gujarat. But SVNIT, Surat is the better choice among the two if you are planning for IT. The reasons are shared below.

• There is less focus on practical assignments and projects in Nirma University as compared to SVNIT, Surat. The students learn the theories without any application. But in SVNIT, the students get practical exposure beyond coding and framing. There are various programs and activities conducted to keep the students engaged in the growth process.
• NIRMA University is deserted from the main city. On the other hand, SVNIT is in the heart of Surat.
• NIRMA does not offer hostel facilities to undergrads. While SVNIT has good campus facilities. 
• The infrastructure of SVNIT is widespread. It has a well-equipped hostel, library, sports facility, multiple college fests, and extra-curricular, etc. SVNIT focus on the overall development of students.
• You will have better chances of finding Govt. jobs from SVNIT. The course fee is also almost half for SVNIT as compared to NIRMA University. 

Overview:

Both the institutes have excellent placements. But the return on investment which you get in SVNIT is unbeatable.

Branch change at SVNIT starts before the end-term examination of the second semester. There is a form that needs to be filled before the start of the end term of your 2nd term. You need to fill in details such as your name, current CGPA, admission number, current branch, the choice, and the priority of the branches you want to switch. The results of the branch change will be declared after the results of the 2nd term are announced. Here are the factors on which your chance of getting your preferred branch depends.

• Number of students who have selected the branch to change
• Number of seats left in the branch
• Number of students who want to leave your branch
• Your CGPA at the end of 2nd semester

The most important factor is your CGPA and the popularity of the branch i.e. how many students have opted for that particular branch. For example, if 10 students want to join the CSE branch but it has only 4 seats left, then you need to be in the top 4 students to get the branch.

As per the trends, branches such as ECE, Mechanical Engineering, and CSE are always more in demand and they require a CGPA of more than 9. Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Chemical Engineering are relatively easy and people usually get any one of the three should they apply.

Both SVNIT and VIT are very good engineering colleges and both of them have their own advantages. 

• If you want a college with less strict rules, a more chill environment, fewer college fees, and an NIT tag, then you should choose SVNIT. 
• If you are planning to go abroad for higher studies or a job, then you should choose VIT as you will get a lot of opportunities there. But there is a lot of competition and the college rules are very strict too. 
• The campus of VIT is very beautiful and all the modern facilities are available there and you will find students here from all over the country. 
• The hostels at VIT are also clean and well-maintained. There are both North Indian and South Indian food available separately at the hostel mess. 

The placements of VIT are very good as it is a very popular college and all the top companies visit the campus for placements. You can easily secure a job if you possess the right skills and you prepare yourself well for the interview and be confident enough. 

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement highlight at these institutes.

Hence, VIT is a very good college where you will find the right exposure to showcase your skills and many opportunities for a bright future ahead.
