Course curriculum is as per the newest tech available in the market we get to know new technologies through curriculum Why this course -Since I wanted to learn about embedded system and microprocessors that's why I chose Internet of things as my specialization Improvement needed - by removing a little of theory curriculum should be more focused on practical learning Exam timings- exam happen nearly in every 40-45 days including non instructional days

VIT offers 5 categories of fees varying on you VITEEE rank I scored 4k rank in the exam so got selected for category 3 in the counselling process for which the annual tuition fees is ~3L + hostel and mess fees Currently I am in 3 bed deluxe with special mess for which am paying 2L year sums up to 5L a year for category 2 But if someone is from category 1 he/she can complete their btech in around 16L And if someone is from category 5 their btech degree may cost upto 26L One of my friend is from category 1 + he got decent scholarship for scoring VITEEE rank less then 500 so he got 25%fees waiver! So his total composition for 4yrs degree is 12L After scholarship And another friend of mine is from category 4 as he got 16k rank so his degree is costing 22L Nearly 5.5L per year including accomodation But you can definitely make this cheaper by staying in 6 bed nonAC room with veg mess By which you can save nearly 1L per year So your total degree cost will reduce by 4L

Faculty to student ratio depends upon branch to branch my friend in civil is having 1:45 but for me CSE(IOT) it's 1:60 but that doesn't mean we cannot approach faculty Most of the faculties try their best to cater as much doubts as possible + we can reach out to faculties in their open hour that information is available on VIT Portal for student and app (VTOP and VITian) *Faculties I liked* For Calculus Mella cheruvu naga srinivasu is a v.good faculty as he teaches pretty well and gives good material and ref.books recommendation plus he's linient with attendance is a big thing For Engeneering chemistry - Dr Mausumi Goswami is very good as she accomodate the class beautifully and tell the concept with practical life examples PPTs given by her our good source for exam papers *Faculties I didn't like* For BEEE - Vinoth K he's a contractual faculty but very strict with attendance and quizzes plus the material he upload is not that great *EXAMS* In one semester 3 exams are held + quizzes and assignments depends teacher to teacher CAT-1 first exam of semester it's a 50 marks exam out of which 30 are evaluated this consist of first 3 modules which are very basic CAT-2 second exam same as CAT-1 for 50 marks but this is hard one as it is open book exam FAT or Final assessment test 100 marks exam out of which 40 are evaluated this consist of all the modules And difficulty level is moderate to tough Before FAT we have LAB-FAT for subjects with LABs Generally not much student fail in CAT's but in FAT students don't get passed this easily nearly 8/60 students fail!
