It is all false advertising.

Faculty: The teachers are useless but knowledgeable. Their quality of teaching is 3rd class at best. The curriculum is industry-ready, but the way they teach it is not. The difficulty of the semester paper depends on the mood of the teacher and the class average. If the class average is high, the chances of getting a tough paper are high.

Come only if you get 1st or 2nd category or go to normal colleges with learning good skills.

Faculty: Faculty isn't good. No, it doesn't do it in the 1st year. Exams are of 2 levels: easy and difficult. CAT 1 would be easy, but CAT 2 would be somewhat difficult. Semester exams are similar to CAT 1. Lab exams are also similar to other colleges. We may get course-related curriculum from next year.

WHY VIT CHENNAI WHILE COMPARING FOR PLACEMENTS?!?!

Faculty: The teachers here are really helpful, though most of them are Tamil teachers. They are good and humble to help you out. Just make sure not to mess things with them. The course is relevant, and the curriculum is updated every semester. And even mechanical people are taught about AI and stuff, but at a basic level.

With so many assignments and exams, we are made well equipped to cope any difficulty in less time with more efficiency. Each semester has 3 exams. Cat 1 which is a moderate level exam.

VIT Chennai review from a first-semester student.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and have good knowledge in their field. The curriculum feels a bit old. There are three exams in a semester: two small exams and one big one. All three are considered for grading. In the first semester, many students fail. The exam is not hard; if you learn, you can pass.
