VIT - Home Away From Home

Positives - Amazing place for Engineering. Great placements. You'll make amazing friends for life. Clubs and chapters will boost your confidence to another level. Negatives - you might get lost in the crowd. Too many people to keep track of. Hostel rules for girls is very strict. It's annoying.

The curriculum was more practical than theoretical. It was called CAL. We had to do projects for every subject we had, almost. Exams were held every month and the final exams were pretty tough and had a lot of questions from GATE. The level of education was on the harder side.

Placements are wonderful in VIT. Everyone who sits for placements definitely gets placed and VIT makes sure only quality companies come for placements and that all students get paid well. I got placed for a 30k stipend and a 6lpa job.

Gravitas a tech event where all the chapters of the college bring out their technical expertise in making the world a better place according to the theme every year. Riviera, a cultural event. The grandest fest I've ever seen in any college. Big celebrities come along and it's a good fest.

The fee structure depends on your VITEEE rank and your date of counseling. It ranges from 4 lakhs per year to 7 lakhs per year. It can be expensive overall for 4 years. However, there is a star student program which gives free education to district toppers.

There are 2 scholarship schemes, one for the underprivileged students who are toppers. It's called the stat student scheme. Another is after admission is obtained which the chancellor dedicated to his wife.

They have good facilities for sports and extracurricular activities. There are several clubs and chapters for the same. Dance club, music club, sports club, etc are some to name a few out of a lot of things available

They have an alumni association. They organize several events. They have strong connections as well. They make sure to send a mail to everyone to let them know about the alumni meet that happens every year.

A written test called VITEEE which comprises of Physics, Chemistry and Math questions of CBSE 11&12 syllabus. It has no negative marking. Approximately 1 lakh students were shortlisted and attended the counseling after which I chose ECE as a course.

Faculties are well educated and are helpful when you approach them. They're strict with attendance most of the time and set the toughest question papers ever. And they don't give grace marks in exams no matter what. They are mostly PHDs or Masters.
