Course Curriculum Overview
Let's say they teach you whatever basics u need for the course in your first year. From my experiences so far , the course curriculum is well structured for all subjects . For computer science subjects , for example python , c and c plus plus , the course is structed with multiple tests , which allows you to learn and test your knowledge after each topic. The faculty teaches you to solve complex questions , thus improving your skills.
Internships Opportunities
Our college offers internships from the 3rd year of your course , that is your 7th semester. Getting an intership from a good company would be harder because of competition in the campus, but if you manage to maintain a decent grade point average throughout your course and also manage to not get any backlogs(dont fail any course) you could bag a good internship. Some companies that visit our campus is TCS ,Deloitte,Wipro etc , looking for software engineers etc.
Placement Experience

Hostel Facilities
Hostel is much more expensive here in VIT chennai , than in other colleges in India , the total cost for hostel and mess is around 180000 rupees ( that is if you are opting for an Air Conditioned room with four roomates). The room you get in hostel depends on ypur hostel councilling rank which is calculated for each student depending on their grade point averages. The higher your rank, the more chance of you getting your desired room. The food is good depending on the mess you choose, but some students have been prone to food poisoning.

After you are allotted a seat, you have to pay a part of the amount before the counclling for the next round.
Faculty
The good part of the fully flexible credit system is that the faculty you get is selected by you. So , your learning experience is in your hands, you are the one creating and building your college life here. In one class the ratio is usually 1:60 , which fluctuates depending on the demand of your chosen faculty. Interacting with them depends on their personality , if they are calm and approachable it will be easy for you to clear your doubts and queries , else its gonna be really hard. Some teachers use power point presentation's to teach and some dont.
