What Students Say

Likes

I liked the knowledge level of professors...they have whole lot of knowlege and they always try to help us in every situation..The learning method is also good as they teach us through ppt also then explain the stuffs in blackboard..they are mentor .
Here there are so much clubs that we have lot of oppurtunities to learn and expose ourselves to any thing we have to learn..
Here the exam system is very good as all the thinks are well oriented and we don't have to go anywhere else to give the exam

Dislikes

Here there is limited sports equipment and less number of grounds so we have to limit ouselves to play any sports
Here there is lot of exams happening anytime so we don't get time to do anything else by our own
Campus is little bit outside of main city...

Course Curriculum Overview

After doing the 10th exam...I was somewhat interested in coding..so decided to pursue my career in Computer Science only..Course is well equiped with the industry demands..but the frequency of exam is very much..it is lil bit hectic to us.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 304000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Here lot of companies visit after 5th sem for internship oppurtunity ..we there is tough competition among students for internship...as companies wants lot of skill to have with us ...so that they can provide the internship to us..

Placement Experience

3.5

After 6th sem we are eligible for placements ..companies come for hiring and they recruit us on the basis of skillset... Here both service-based and product-based companies visit our college and around 900+ companies visit our college every year

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes scholarships are provided but only for top 1000 rank holders in VITEEE exam..Overall the cost the 12 lakh for category-1 students..I have engaged in some of the clubs so get some stipends if we organize any event

Campus Life

3.5

Here the cultural fest called Vibrance is held every year in the month of March and technical fest called Technovit is held in the month of October..Here there are lot of clubs like GDSC,MIC etc..so we can join any of the clubs

Hostel Facilities

3.5

In the hostel there is a self attached table and chair for every student so we can study without any disturbance..Also the menu for mess changes every 2 months but the changes is very little..food quality is not that much good..

Hostel Fee: INR 136000 per year

Admission

We have to give a exam called VITEEE exam..and on the basis of rank awarded to each student we get admission to this college and branch...Difficult to get Computer Science branch is Category-1,2 or 3.

Faculty

3.5

Our class have a strength of 65..so not that much crowded so teacher can spend some time with any student for a while..They try to explain the things in a very easy manner and will not start any new thing unless we all understood.

Nit Trichy B.Sc. B.ed. student review

Likes

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

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
