Pros are good research and placements, cons crowded.

Placements: As placements of all the branches of my college (i.e., Vellore, Chennai, Amravati, Bhopal) are combined, it is mostly based on CGPA and branches. More than 7,500 students have already been placed (including me). The highest package is 88 LPA, and the average package for tech companies is around 11 LPA. For core companies (mechanical, civil, electrical), it was 7 LPA. Apart from placements, over 300+ students have already received PPO offers from on-campus internships.
