What Students Say

Likes

There is a good composition of students from every part of the country
If you want to write research papers along with BTech, VIT will provide you with ample facilities to get through this.
The social groups, clubs, literary associations all of them are very active.

Dislikes

The total campus area is not that much as it should have been.
The total intake of students per year is a lot higher than other colleges which make it a bit crowded.
There are many strict rules regarding girls-boys interaction on campus which is a bit dull thing.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose this course because I have good internet in Computer Science and had always wanted to pursue greater in this field. Faculty Student ratio here is not that healthy but it is quite good like 1:40. Faculties are well qualified. Almost all of them are PhD qualified. Most of them teach very well and will make you learn the topic well. In a semester, there are 3 exams(2 CATs and 1 FAT) which are conducted with a gap of 1-1.5 months. For passing the exams, one has to have a thorough knowledge of the subject.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 400000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee hike policy has affected several students. It was the time post covid when the annual fee of students was increased. However, one can also avail of scholarship benefits and financial assistance from many NGOs and Governmental Programmes.

Campus Life

The annual fest here at VIT Chennai is Vibrance and the tech fest is TechnoVIT. Vibrance takes place during the February-March period and TechnoVIT during September. Books and Research Journals are available in ample amounts in the library. All the classrooms are well-equipped with smart boards, comfortable benches and good lighting conditions. To be honest sports and extracurricular activities are on the weaker side. Although there is a lot of scopes if you try. There are many cultural clubs, literary associations, and social groups run by students. For example Dream Merchant, EMC, FYI, etc.

Admission

For admission to Vellore Institute of Technology, we have to appear for an online test conducted by the college itself. The application form and application dates for the same were available on their website (www.vit.ac.in). It would be better if they make the after-exam process more transparent like they should allow the candidates to view their response sheets.

Your decision is in my review

Course Curriculum Overview:

Specific schedule is not followed in college regarding the academic and co curricular activities. Sudden decisions will be taken by the management which is a bit difficult for the students and faculty too. There were times where faculties are fed up of management rules and decisions.

Karunya University - Review (From a current Student)

Placement Experience:

1.) Placement begins from the pre-final year and we are allowed to apply for companies from the final year. 2.) Around 70% of the class gets placed in reputed companies with an average CTC of 4-8 LPA. 3.) Along with core biotech companies, many IT companies are also hiring students at a very decent package. 4.) I plan to pursue a master's after this course.

Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai Review

I had given exams of various other colleges like Kalinga Insititute of technology(KIT), SRM, BITSAT etc. i chose VIT as my college was because it is one of the most renowned colleges of India. VIT has a tag value of its own and it does make a difference if you add "VIT" as your college in your resume. The admission process of this college goes by giving an examination called VITEEE which is held after jee mains. The syllabus for the same is similar to jee mains and the good thing is it has no negative marking. All 12th pass students with a minimum of 60% are eligible to write this entrance test. The admission procedure is online and smooth....Read More
