• SRM Ramapuram is more mixed: good for people living in Chennai, wanting to minimize travel; but some compromises may be required (crowding, variable infrastructure, somewhat lower average placements for non-IT branches). If your specialization is strong and you are motivated (self-study, projects etc.), you could still get good outcomes there.

• Key to getting good returns seems heavily dependent on your own effort: how strong you are in coding, projects, internships, how you approach placements & networking.

• Before deciding, check for your specific branch: CSE vs core vs humanities etc. Also try to talk to current students of that branch in that campus. Look at recent placement stats (last 1-2 years) for your branch. That will give a more precise idea.
