VIT- a place to learn, a chance to grow

Overall the college is very good. The environment is nice. Campus is green and clean. Students crowd is very good. The coding culture in the campus is excellent. Every other day there are various technical and cultural events organised by various clubs and chapters. But the college is very conservative and weird with many of its strict rules. The college should denounce its strict rules and come up with some better rules and regulations, which go smoothly with the students. The in-time concept should be removed and the students (who are adults and independent) must be given the freedom to come and go anytime they want. Also the huge gender differences exhibited by the college is very disappointing. There must be gender equality in the college. There must be student elected council which would represent the students and voice their needs and demands.

Very well designed, earlier it was a semester systembjt noe it has been updated to quad system.in which exams are held almost every three months.Students go through variety of courses and they learn a lot.

The placement record is very impressive of VIT. Almost all of the students get placed in the end. Placement is 100%. There are over 500-700 which come to the college to offer placements. Those companies are categorised as Super Dream companies and Dream Companies. Super Dream are those which offer a very high package (10+ lakh per annum). For example, Amazon, Google, Directi, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. Then there are Dream companies which offer 6-10 lakh package. Apart from these there are Mass Recruiting Companies (such as TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys) which come to the campus and recruit the students in bulk. They offer a package of around 4-6 lakh per annum. The highest salary package goes upto 40 lakh per annum. The average is around 6 lakh per annum. The college also encourage and provide for Summer and Winter Internships. The placement cell of the college is very active for offering internships. The E-Cell (entrepreneurship cell) also conducts various events such as E-Summit where recruiters and officials from various companies visit the college and interact with the students and offer them internships. Internships could be with or without stipend based on the merit and profile of the student.

There are two major events in the college - GraVITas and Riviera. The technical fest is called GraVITas which is held in the Fall Semester. The various technical clubs and chapters organise different kind of technical events, games, seminars and workshops. It is conducted on a large scale sponsored by many big companies. The cultural fest Riviera is reputed to be one of the best college fests of the country. The cultural clubs such as dance, music, art, literary, sports clubs organise a lot of interesting events. The NGO clubs make handicrafts and set up stalls in the college to sell them. The profits earned are contributed for the welfare of the society. The VITMUN conducts Spotlight which is a panel discussion event. Celebrities and experts from various fields are invited for it. The Riviera nights are thrilled by the Pro-Shows. Famous singers, rappers, comedians are invited from the film industry to perform and entertain the large college crowd. The pro-shows nights are held for all 4 days of Riviera. This time Sid Sriram, Zakir Khan, Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunburn DJ Seek and DJ Hanna Shine were invited for the pro-shows nights during Riviera.

The Institute recently got the status of Institution of Eminence (IoE) by the MhrD Govt of India. So the tuition fees are supposed to get decreased as per the IoE norms. As of now the fees are different for every student based on the Category he/she came from. The Categories are again based on the VITEE ranks. The B. Tech CSE fees for Category-1 student is Rs 2 lakh. For Category-2 it is around Rs 3 lakh and so on Rs 1 lakh increments every time Category increases.

I haven't availed it so have no idea about it.But people do avail the loan facility and few ofthe students who are extrq ordinary in the prvious courses are even offered scholarships through different programs

The Gender ratio here in VIT is very good as compared to different colleges. M:F ratio is around 4:1. There are students who come from all across the country and from abroad too. The student diversity is huge, they belong to different places and speak different languages. This college is very conservative college and is intolerant with regards to gender. The main gate in-time and hostel in-time for girls is earlier than that of boys. For the first 4 months after joining the college, the authorities don't allow the students to leave the college campus. If they want to leave for some reason they will have to take permission from their proctor, get him the affirmation of parents to approve the request and then get the permission from the warden of hostel. The college and hostel authorities are weird and strict. The college allow the girls to go out on weekends only for 4 hrs a day and that too with permission of the girls' warden/proctor. The entry and exit from the main gate is biometric based, and many a times they may stop out biometrics and detain us within the campus. It's like house arrest. The freedom given to the students is 0. The college conducts no official student/dorm parties. Even during the Riviera cultural fest concerts, there are barricades which separate boys and girls so that they couldn't dance and enjoy together. There was a Silent disco conducted by a club and in that too the boys and girls were separated in the hall by a barricade and a security guard kept a watch on everyone. There are overly strict anti-PDA rules in the college. There are Red-tag security guards installed in the college whose duty is to be a vigilante over the students. Even if a couple is walking together, that security guard may get pissed and whistle at them, humiliate them and snatch their ID cards. The college has no student council and anyone who dares to raise his voice against the strict college rules are condemned and punished by suspending and rusticating. They justify this by saying that any kind of defamation to the college will not be tolerated. The students are afraid even to write their views openly on quora, so if they ever write anything against unjust college rules they do it anonymously

The hostel infrastructure is very good actually. All types of rooms are available. AC/Non AC. The room sharing are also of various types. 1 bed, 2 bed, 3 bed, 4 bed and 6 bed. There are two common bathrooms and toilets on each floor. There are a number of hostel blocks to accommodate all the students who take admission. No student is allowed to stay as a day boarder unless their parents are living in Vellore. The rooms are well lit. Furnitures like chair, tables, almirahs/wardrobes, mirrors are also given in the rooms. There are various options for food. There are different mess to choose from. Veg, Non Veg, Special. There are different caterers too. So fooding has a lot of options. Besides there are cafes, canteens and shops all around the hostels.

Yes, they are helpful.They are always there to guide you and provide you with the valuable feedbacks throughout.It is very helpful. Apl.professors are helpful and are aleays there for students which is a good thing

There is an entrance examination called VITEEE. There are exam centres all across the country and abroad too. The results are announced after a few weeks. The students and parents are called for the counselling. Counselling is based on the VITEEE ranking of the student, and different engineering branches are given according to the ranks. I chose Computer Science Engineering because of my personal interest in it. Also, there are various categories. The top rank holders fall in Category-1 and so on. Fees for category-1 is less than the others and it increases progressively as the category number increases. If a student fails to get a desired branch due to a poor rank, he/she can still get a seat in that branch by getting admission through higher categories (2, 3, 4, 5) and paying more.

All the faculties are well qualified with most of them holding a doctorate degree. Many students work on some projects under those faculties. The work environment is impressive. The faculty members are quite laborious.
