Why did you go to VVIT?

I decided to pursue Information Technology because I wanted to improve my coding skills and get into the software field. The curriculum covers essential topics, but I think they should provide more practical exposure through labs. Internships are available, but most are unpaid, which is a bit disappointing.

The placement rate is decent, with around 70% of students getting jobs, and the highest package last year was about 40 LPA. Overall, I enjoy my college life, but I wish there were more opportunities for hands-on experience.

After taking the Mains exam, I initially planned to aim for an NIT, but due to some personal issues, I decided to go through EAMCET counseling. I wanted to pick the top engineering college in the Guntur area, so I chose VVIT. At first, I was unsure if it would suit me, considering my proactive and hardworking nature, but it turned out to be a great fit.

Here’s what helped me grow professionally and land a job with Tech Mahindra during my first campus placement:

• I was an active Literature Club member for three years.
• I served as the President of the IETE Student Forum (ISF) for 2016–17.
• I also held the position of General Secretary for the Student Activities Council’s placements committee at VVIT.
• Additionally, I was the Treasurer for VIVA VVIT-2k16, a three-day college fest with 5000 participants and 10000 attendees.
• I won medals in Skit Competitions held on Theater's Day twice and received a Certificate of Appreciation for my role as a Campus Ambassador at the NIT Tiruchirappalli Fest 2016–17.

I am truly proud to be a VVIT alum, and I always recommend to my juniors that VVIT offers a fantastic platform to develop skills and pursue knowledge.

I chose to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering because I have always been interested in the field. The curriculum is quite good, and it provides a solid foundation for understanding essential concepts. The faculty here is supportive, and they motivate us to excel.

However, the placement opportunities could be better, as not many companies visit for core placements compared to the IT sector. The average package I’ve seen is about 3.5 LPA, which isn’t great, but the training provided for placements is helpful. Overall, I’m happy with my choice of course.

I opted for Computer Science and Engineering because of the growing demand in the tech industry. The curriculum is updated and includes important subjects like AI and machine learning. The faculty is experienced and supportive, which makes learning easier.

For placements, we typically start getting opportunities from the 6th semester, and last year, the highest package was around 44 LPA. However, the competition is tough, and I feel that the number of companies visiting has reduced due to the current market situation.
