First year student’s review

It’s a nice place to learn and also meet new people but at the same time it is overcrowded with students. Around the main campus at vellore there is nothing much to do during free time. There is no ragging in the college.

It’s a fully flexible credit system which means from the second semester students will be allowed to choose their subjects, faculty and France their own timetable and we have two pre-semester exams and one final semester exam

Placements are pretty good as of what I hear. But VIT actually does support you to go for higher education. Students are placed based on their cgpa and there are categories like super dream offer, dream offer etc.

Beginning with Gravitas, which is a tech test held in our college in the month of October. Later in the month of February is held the cultural fest called Riviera which is among the best college fests in India

It is based on the rank and the stream you choose. If you’re rank is not good then you might have to pay extra which comes a bit expensive but in the first and second category the fee is neither too high nor too low.

Students ranked between 1-1000 in the entrance exams can avail upto full scholarships. For the other students there is no such scholarship. Loans can be availed individually through a bank but the college doesn’t provide any facility like that.

VIT is among the college which has a very good sports reputation. There are separate fuels and courts for every sport but everything has to be paid extra and the ones in the hostels are less maintained. Labs are equipped with state of the art facilities. There are also various extracurricular activities in the college.

Hostels are pretty bad and this also is shouted to you based on your cgpa. There are only common toilets for students in the toilets with very less privacy. Rooms and hostels are overcrowded. The food served here is better than other hostels though.

I don’t really know much about the alumni but the senior students are very helpful and try to guide us through everything and also keep track of us through watsapp groups and also don’t mind sharing their personal numbers in case if any help.

I was admitted through the college entrance exam. Once you clear the exam, counselling will be held depending on the rank you scored in the exam and respective courses can be selected depending on the number of seats left

All the faculty in VIT are among the best and highly qualified though some are less experienced in teaching but have very high qualifications. Every faculty member has their own influence among the academic point of view where they can help you get internships and extra curricular studying from other institutes.
