VIT- WHAT A FRESHER NEEDS TO KNOW

I'm from mechanical engineering and I am confident enough to say that the course curriculum is updated often,for our batch they have added control systems which is an ECE subject but mechanical core companies are expecting knowledge in this field, similarly our junior batch cloud computing has been added as a compulsory elective, the frequently contact industrial representatives and get to know the industry requirements and update the curriculum accordingly, the frequency of exams are perfect each exam will have one and a half month gap in between.The second continous exam will be difficult because it is openbook/notebook we are allowed to bring our notebooks,books to the examination.

I'm in my 7th semester now I cannot completely comment since the placement season has now only started and I can strongly saw all the IT/CSE braches have a lot of companies coming and offering good packages, but core branches are facing little difficulty because very few companies are visiting,maybe in upcoming months many can come.But the carrier developement cell is puting out all efforts to help students in terms of placements.

After first year each branch topper will recieve Rs.12000 from the university as a appreciation for their result. As far as ranks concerned the CSE core will have the highest demand amoung the other branches,all the 5 categories will get fulled below rank of 4000, next CSE specializations will have the next demand,then comes IT ,then ECE branches,then Biotech,then mechanical and civil,so if you want to get a CSE seat in vellore campus you will have to perform really well in the VITEEE examination.
