Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The curriculum includes concepts from both electronics and computers. Since I did not want to go purely into CSE or EEE, I thought this course will be perfect for me. As mentioned the curriculum teaches students both fields' knowledge and hence can work in both type of fields and have an expertise on both. The teaching methods vary by professor and can be improved by forcing everyone to use more visual based teaching. There are 2 internals and 1 Semester exams. Internals are written for 50 mks and is reduced to 15 mks and Semester exam is written for 100mks and is reduced to 40 mks. The rest of the 30 mks come from Digital Assignments/Quizzes. I feel like there could be an additional optional improvement internals to improve the overall grade in each course.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 470000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I still have no idea about the internship oppertunities since i'm a freshman, but i have heard that students can apply in companies on their own. There are a few times where students' skills have impressed the company members who came for an event and have been offer oppertunities.

Placement Experience

3.5

Since this is my first year of study, I have very little details regarding placements, but there are a fair of companies which have come in the previous years and the package is dependent on the student's skills.

Fees and Financial Aid

The tution fees depend on the ranking in the entrance exam and popularity of the course. There are 5 categories and C1 fees is around 1.5l and C5 fees is 5l. Based on the ranking you will be able to select the course in the category available.

Though this college is located in Chennai, there are lots of Hindi Speaking students students and many of them are very friendly. There is one Annual fest (Vibrance) usually held in the end of Feb or beginning or March and one Technical fest (TechnoVIT) in the month of October. Along with this there are many clubs which conduce many events throughout the year.

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.

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...Read More

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
