I am current studying CSE(AI and ML) in VIT Chennai. I got this course on the basis of my preference list. Student to faculty ratio is around 17. There are mixed faculties in VIT. Some faculties are highly qualified like IITian, some faculties have also done PHD and some faculties are okayish. Teaching is moderate in vit. Some faculty just reads ppt while some faculties teaches all the courses till depth. There are 3 examinations per semester CAT1, CAT2 and FAT. FAT is the main exam and CAT1,CAT2 are like samll usnit test. There are total 3 internal assesments for 10 marks each for every course. Some courses have a project component so it make learning more practical. There are also lab componenets for course. So for lab total 60 marks are internal that depends on submission of lab assignments and 40 marks are from exam which is known as FAT LAB examination.Grading system in VIT is reative your grade will depend on the class average of the class.

Internships Opportunities

3.5

In VIT we have to do 1 mont industrial internship. It is compulsory. But VIT doesn't provide any internship opportunities. We have to personally contact companies and send resume. BUT after 6 sem you will get many emails from vit regarding summer internship. You can use that opportunity and you can also use brand value of vit to get internship. In order to get internship your resume should be up to the mark. Mke sure you have a good big project and good communication skills. You can check internshala for placements All the best
