VIT-AP Review from a Dayscholar

The exams are too frequent in my opinion and you can't even see the deadlines coming at ALL. I chose this course since it had better job opportunities. The curriculum does prepare u for real-world applications , they teach you coding and foreign languages as well with tons of exposure

From 6th sem Placement offers start for the 3rd years. Cognizant , TCS, Accenture, Wipro, IBM are some of the companies that have visited. No. of offers made in 2023 were 3453 Dream Offers. Highest Package in 2024: 27 LPA INR Average Package: 14.4 LPA INR 90% students are placed (as per college profiles)

The annual fee depends on the rank on the VITEEE exam depending on which the fee structure is there. I got in through Category-1 which is nearly 2 lakh per annum fees. There aren't any extra fees to be paid except bus fees which depend on the distance. There are scholarships such as Reliance scholarships but I didn't avail it since I didn't know about it back then.

VITOPIA is the annual fest that is held and is full of fun, and events and feels like a concert, Singers and celebrities are invited to perform. The entire day is full of events and at night the real event starts and goes on til 11 p.m. or so.V-TAPP is the technical fest that hosts multiple technical and non-technical events throughout the campus and goes on for 2 days same as VITOPIA. The books and journals in the library are well designed for the students to understand and have the necessary guidance for students present. There is a whiteboard on which they teach. Sports and extracurriculars are extremely encouraged within the campus. During V-TAPP, there are sports events conducted in collaboration with other universities. There is an SAC building which is like the sports building where you can play any game u want to and there is also the SPORTS TRIANGLE where you can play cricket, volleyball, basketball, and many games which is under the jurisdiction of the Sports Instructor.

Other colleges from which I got admission forms were KLU and SRM-AP . I chose VIT-AP because it was a sister institution of the VIT campus and due to the promise of centralized placements. Also due to the rank I got in the VITEEE exam, which is the entrance exam, the fees for VIT-AP was way less when compared to KLU and SRM-AP, SRM's annual tuition fee was 2.5 lakh INR without other fees like Bus fee etc...The admission process is done by ranking the student scores on the VITEEE exam and the AP-EAMCET exam. Depending on the rank achieved, course, and campus selected, there are 5 categories of fee structures, for instance, Category 1's fee for my BTech CSE course is 2 lakh INR/annum. For Category 3 its 3.5 lakh INR /annum and so on . Exams accepted are VITEE and AP-EAMCET exams which are held annually once. Some prefer EAMCET because the ranking makes it easier to get a low fee structure when we get in through EAMCET which is like 70k INR /annum.

The faculty are good and knowledgeable but sometimes struggle to convey that knowledge. There are 3 exams, 2 CATs and 1 FAT, FAT is the sem exam and CATs are the mid-sem exams, but this might change to 1 CAT and 1 FAT soon (they did so for the freshers) and there is also Lab FAT which happens at the end of the semester
