What Students Say

Likes

The huge number of events- both technical and cultural, held in the College are great.
The facilities and prompt action upon complaints is amazing.
The ffcs system provides great flexibility and also there's this rule where 9 pointers don't have to follow the 75% attendance rule that's very good and provides a lot of time to follow other interests.

Dislikes

The rules are very strict for girls, in time is 8 pm and there are many clothing restrictions.
The student intake is very high due to which there is huge competition everywhere. There are crowds even for lifts and mess food.
The procedures for outings and leaves, especially for girls, are really strict.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

There are 3 exams in one semester- 2 cats (continuous assessment tests) and one fat ( final assessment test). Other than that, 2 assignments and a quiz are also conducted which also carry marks. The curriculum is fine and gets updated every year to meet the necessary requirements. Some faculties are really good while some are very bad as well. You have the ffcs system which gives you the flexibility of choosing your teachers and class timings according to your cgpa.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 195000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

There are many companies that start coming from the beginning of the third year (5th semester) for internship opportunities. There are some very good companies as well. The stipend can be around 40-50k

Placement Experience

3.5

Companies start coming to the campus from the beginning of the 4th year (7th semester). Average placement are around 8L PA. Many companies visit the campus. I plan to take a job from the placements after getting my degree.

Fees and Financial Aid

I am about to finish my first year so I don't have much information about tuition fees increament policy. I am in the first category so complete cost for me was around 2L per annum tuition fees + 1.5L hostel and mess fees per year. And i am yet to undertake and employment opportunity.

Campus Life

There are 2 main fests held every year- a technical fest called technovit (around October) and a cultural fest called Vibrance (around March). A large variety of books and eBooks are there in the library. The library is really well established. Many sports events are held frequently, and the college being close to IIT Madras and IIIT Kancheepuram, students go for their sports competitions as well. A huge number of casual events are held on a daily basis including dancing, music, fashion shows, comedy shows etc as well as technical workshops, seminars. Lots of hackathon are also conducted. There are many clubs and chapters in each department. For technical clubs, there are Android club, coding club, Google developers club, Linux club, robotics club, game developer club and many more. In cultural clubs there are dramatics club, dance club, music club, culinary club, teaching club, mental health club, etc. There are regional clubs as well like Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Sangam (UP-Bihar) etc

Hostel Facilities

The rooms are of good quality. I am in a 4 seater non AC room. There are wall fans for each bunker bed, an almirah,a study table with a table light and white board is provided for every one. There are free laundry and cleaning facilities provided in the hostel. There's a night mess which operates from 9pm to 12:30 am. There's a fruits and juice shop where all sorts of fruits and juices are available at ok prices. There are seperate veg mess, non veg mess and special mess. The food is ok mostly. But the hostel and mess is a bit expensive.

Hostel Fee: INR 151000 per year

Admission

They conduct a seperate entrance exam called VITEEE. It's conducted around April-May. There are no such reservations but there is a category system which is given according to your VITEEE rank. There are 5 categories and fees increases with each category. First category student have to pay around 2L per year while fifth category students have to pay around 5L per year. The level of exam is very easy compared to jee mains.

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

In my college , I experienced diversed equality and gained more knowledge by training staffs and assessments

Placement Experience:

One thing I really need to appreciate at CIT is its placement training program. The placement team conducts regular sessions on 1. aptitude 2. coding 3. communication skills 4. group discussions and 5. interview preparation which helped me feel more confident during placements. The trainers were friendly and always encouraged us to improve our skills step by step. They provide continuous guidance and feedback throughout the training process. Mock interviews and one to one assessments helped me to understand my strength and weak areas and I work on improvements . These sessions not only improved my technical and communication skills but also boosted my confidence . The placement training team played an important role in preparing me for career opportunities and industry expectation

My insights on Vit Chennai

I applied for very less college.since my cut off was low the possibility of me getting any Anna university affiliated colleges were less. So i wrote entrance exam for Amrita University and Vit. I did get Amrita but felt Vit had better exposure. They were lot of reasons as to why I chose this college. Of most the colleges I searched this had mechanical with specialisation courses. Doing a minor in something will make me a step ahead of every other mechanical engineer. I also compared the curriculum with many institutions,this was far by the best with perfect exposure. They have variety of other non graded courses to help me focus on my hobbies and interest. Their tie ups with many foreign institutions and industries will be an advantage for me if I use it in the right way. Again the only way of getting into Vit is through their entrance exam VITEEE. Since my cut off was low I had to rely on these entrance exams. Based on the rank obtained in the entrance we will be allocated a counselling phase and through that we can choose our respective course....Read More
