Good placements, infrastructure, and facilities, but some teachers could do a bit better in 2025.

Faculty: Most teachers are very knowledgeable and are more than capable. However, public opinion is that a few teachers, however knowledgeable they might be, lack a bit in getting that information efficiently to the students. Examinations conducted contain only analytical questions, which require a modest amount of brainpower to solve correctly.

The faculty are really good. There are very good placements.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. They are very qualified and knowledgeable. The minimum qualification for professors is a post-graduation along with a Ph.D. The curriculum is relevant. It makes the students ready. The semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is nearly 90%.

My college overall Review.

Faculty: There are three major exams in a semester. CAT 1 and CAT 2 are similar to mid-term exams, and FAT is the end-semester exam. Many assignments and quizzes are conducted. FAT is conducted for 100 marks, and CAT 1 and CAT 2 are conducted for 50 marks each. The passing percentage is 50%.

Good social community but highly crowded nature.

Faculty: 90 percent of the teachers are knowledgeable, but the remaining 10 percent are not up to the mark. The course curriculum is highly relevant. The lab components for the core subjects really do make the students industry-ready. The semester exam questions are medium, but the correction is highly strict, which makes the pass percentage around 90 percent.

Pros are good research and placements, cons crowded.

Faculty: Our college provides a fully flexible credit system, which means you can choose courses as per your interest. There are a few compulsory courses as well. Most teachers are doing research, so you can work with them and get research papers published. They teach everything as per the Engineering syllabus along with industry needs (DSA, Web Dev, Data Analytics). If you have an interest in any topic, you can take it in your timetable. There is 60% weightage for internal marks and 40% for the final ex...

Good engineering college for people who wish to learn practical application along with theory.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful when it comes to clearing doubts about the topics taught. They are enthusiastic in sharing additional knowledge related to the subject to throw light on daily life applications. This is helpful as students can understand and relate to the content rather than just mugging the concepts.

An insight from the inside of VIT.

Faculty: Each faculty member here has a doctorate from a reputable university. They teach in a very friendly manner. There are some faculty who don't teach well, but they provide us with sufficient knowledge. The course curriculum for the first year is not up to industry standards, as students are required to study physics and chemistry, but it gets better from the second year, where core subjects are included. The curriculum from the second year on is industry-relevant and on par with industry needs. Th...

Review of VIT - A paradise.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly skilled and have PhD. They are of good quality. Course curriculum is relevant only after the second year. In the first year, they make one study the basics of all other courses. There are exams every month, which are very hard. Pass percentage is 80%-90%.

VIT - A place to learn and grow.

Faculty: All teachers present here are well-knowledgeable. They teach students in a way where one would get an interest in the topic. The course curriculum is relevant and provides a fair amount of knowledge and practice to make students industry-ready. Semester exams are pretty hard to score high marks but it is pretty enough to clear the course. The pass percentage is around 95% for our course.

At present, okay with the college; have to see in the future.

Faculty: Not all faculties are good; a few of them teach well, but the rest are very bad. I don't think that this type of teaching makes students industry-ready. Semester examinations are difficult enough for a normal student, and the pass percentage will be around 80%, my guess.
