VIT Chennai’s EV curriculum stands out for its interdisciplinary depth, blending mechanical design with power electronics and battery chemistry. It effectively prepares students for the industry through MATLAB simulations and hands-on BMS prototyping, while providing the rigorous theoretical foundation in control systems required for high-level global research.

It is generally easy and simple CAT2:- one month after CAT1 exams complete(on tougher side as this exam is open notes) FAT(Final Assessment Test):- 1.5 months after CAT2 exams complete ( easy to moderate)

I applied for SRM, once considered admission in LPU but finally chose VIT due it's reputation and strong placements. Other colleges which I applied for required strong jee scores for admission. Admission process in VIT is as follows:- 1) write VITEEE exam cause vit doesn't considers jee scores. 2) you must have above 60 percent in boards and above or equal to 60 percent in PCM aggregate. 3)cutoffs, past papers, closing and opening ranks are not revealed si can't say much regarding that. 4) overall admission experience was decent
