A Review on VIT, Vellore

The college management is not really great and they know that fact, so they tend to give all plannings for tech and cultural fests on the hands of the students. They college provides certificates for the volunteers which they say will be useful later. The academics are planned very bad. If everything goes by schedule then it's fine otherwise even if we have little discrepancies the management is really bad at handling it.

The curriculum is fully flexible. For all the students there are certain subjects that they should do, these are called Programe core and we must make some 160 points by the end of the year. We just have to do around 60 points from our main stream, rest what we study is based on our interests.

I am currently making attempts in the hiring process. VIT has good numbers in placements, but also there are lot of students. You will have very high competition for Super Dream Companies, but with regard to Dream it's not that competitive. Placements are mostly IT based.

We have two major fests in one academic year. GraVITas is a techno fest in which a huge amount of technical workshops, hackathons, discussions, conferences takes place in our university for 4 days. We also have a cultural fest in the month Feb where we have proshows by famous celebrities, cutural events and competitions.The University's all academics works will go on hold for those 4 days.

The fees structure is bit expensive when compared to other colleges in India, but the campus life is really good and it has very good infrastructure and benefits. The hostels and food are good when compared to other colleges in India. They have everything that a students want inside the campus and a metropolitan environment is maintained.

Very less people get scholorship in the university, either you must score among the top 1000 ranks to get a scholorship or you must be state toppers of the particular board you are studying under. Also there is fees waver based on cgpa every year. Students with low financial background get some aid from VIT after getting their details verified.

The campus life is really good. There are lots of clubs and chapters in Vellore campus in which you can join and find people with your similar interests. The management is bit strict for girls but it's manageble. The number of girls to boys ratio is very low. It must be near 1:5. You have wide range of extra-curricular activities available in the campus.

Yes, The rooms are average. they are good when compared to other regular hostels. We have wide range of options with the rooms, like it depends upon how big your pockets are. There are rooms worth 1Lakh per year which have AC located in new hostel blocks with all facilities and also there are rooms which cost only 15K per year with Non-AC, old hostel block, bad mess near you. The hostel allocation for first year is based on first come first serve basis. From second year onwards it's based on our cgpa.

The seniors here are really helpful. You actually learn more from seniors than what you learn from the faculties. The campus is totally ragging free and the college authorities are very strict about it.

so we have an entrance exam called VITEEE. We have to apply for it in March. Usually the entrance exam will be after 1 week of JEE Mains. We will have a really long schedule of entrance exam dates and we can choose among those, and write the exam whenever we are available. Once exam is done, they make percentile ranking based on our performance and generate ranks. They will invite you for counseling process. The detailed info of counseling process will be available in our University page. In the process i choose computer science since i had pretty good.

The faculties are not so good in teaching, all the students do self learning. The faculties do have Phd's and good qualifications but they are not gooding in teaching. The faculties here are kind of out dated and they dont update themselves except a very few. If you are a person who learn by what faculties teaches you, VIT is not the place.
