Good social community but highly crowded nature.
Placements: Almost 100% of the students who opted for sitting in the placements got placed in a company. The highest package of 1 Cr per annum was offered to a CSE student and 3 LPA is the lowest package, while the average package offered is around 8 LPA. The top recruiters for electrical students are TCS, INFOSYS, and Honeywell. 60 percent of the students do their internship, which is unpaid and offered by VIT. 35 percent do internships privately, and only 5 percent receive internships with a stipend from the companies. The roles differ by the vacancies in companies.
Infrastructure: All the labs are equipped with high-speed internet facilities, and there are a lot of lab components for important core subjects. Classrooms consist of 4 boards, two blackboards, and two for marker usage. There is one projector per classroom with dual speakers installed around the corners. Facilities inside the hostel include two cupboards, one bunker bed space, and a chair. The quality of food goes up with the pay scale, and for the lowest mess option available, the quality is decent. Apollo Hospital has a space on the campus providing basic treatment.
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.
Other: I chose this course because of the lab components provided here to learn a subject practically. If the courses offered had faculty members of the same major, it would be much better. There are two events: one is a technical one that comes up during the month of August and the other is an annual fest that comes up in March. The campus is really crowded as it has attracted a lot of people. Scholarships are given as waivers to the VITEEE toppers by the institute. Extracurricular activities include badminton and basketball as the main sports.

Good engineering college for people who wish to learn practical application along with theory.
Placements: About 80 percent of the students get placed. The highest package is about 50 LPA, depending on the company and job position. Top roles offered are VLSI designers and embedded systems analysts. Many companies, such as Google and Microsoft, offer high-paying jobs in campus interviews.
Infrastructure: The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is good, along with various options to choose from. The medical facilities, sports, and game facilities are also well maintained and accessible to students. The facilities are well built, such as high-tech labs, smart classrooms, and libraries.
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.
Other: Both technical and non-technical fests take place, one in each semester, for students to learn new things and showcase their talents.

Don't fall for the high ranking of the college and its tier-two status.
Placements: A very few students get placed Every year. Even the job roles they get are within 3.5LPA. The major company that come for M.Sc. Data science students is Syngen which is a pharmaceutical company. The highest package our seniors got is 3.5LPA. However, majority of them managed to get an internship.
Infrastructure: As a whole it is good. However hostelers are not given Wi-Fi access while being in the academic blocks. Many a labs are air conditioned. Classrooms are either stadium type or normal ones. Projectors are avail in each class. Even though the class strength is more than 70 teachers are reluctant to use microphones.
Faculty: The difficulty of the exams depend just on our faculty. For many a courses we can't even choose the faculty of interest. They are highly qualified and hence their level of teaching is also so high level so that beginners in any area find it difficult to understand.
Other: VITs doesn't organize any celebrations. There is no sports or arts day. We have tech VIT and Vibrance in where all events are paid to participate.

An insight from the inside of VIT.
Placements: I am studying B.Tech Computer Science (first year). Our batch has nearly 4,500 students in computer science alone. My passing out year is 2028. In my college, almost 90% of the students were placed this year. The highest offer was 1 crore per annum, while the average is 10 LPA. The lowest offer was 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta. Most of the third-year and some of the second-year students try for internships, and the college provides good opportunities to both groups, not only for internships, but also for placements in their upcoming session. The top roles offered are software development engineer, data analyst, and data scientist.
Infrastructure: The labs are up to industry standards, and the Wi-Fi facilities inside the labs are top-notch. Some labs have old computers, while others have computers with up to 32 GB of RAM. Classrooms are well-equipped with smart boards. The library has the best environment for studying and focusing on daily goals. The hostel facilities are good. Each hostel block has two caterers, and students can choose their caterer each month. Both provide good food with enough nutrients. There are many food stalls here, each providing quality, tasty food. There is a medical center where students can go if they are suffering from any illness, and they will be treated, admitted, or quarantined based on their needs. Our college has two football fields, three volleyball fields, two tennis courts, and one cricket ground for sports. Students can also play chess, carrom, and other indoor games in their free time.
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. The exams are easy to moderately difficult, and students need 50% to pass.
Other: Computer science is a blooming field, and choosing this course has never given me any regrets. I have exposure to various domains, such as web development, Android development, full-stack development, and ethical hacking. This course could be further improved by taking students on more industrial visits and having them discover industry needs in their domain. Our college has two main fests, called TechnoVIT, which happens in September, and Vibrance, which happens in March. The exposure on campus is good, and we can connect with people of various cultures. There is a large crowd at VIT. We can take part in any club we like, grow our connections, and indulge in our interests. There are almost 133 clubs at VIT, each with its own unique demeanor. Students can enroll in these and make the most of their time.

Read this before getting into VIT.
Placements: Placements are one of the main reasons that people opt for VIT college. The highest salary package offered is 1.02 CPA. The average salary package offered is 10 LPA. They promise students good placements with good packages. Some of the top recruiters of the college include Microsoft, Zoho, Google, TCS, Infosys, etc. Volvo and Tata are top core recruiters for mechanical engineering. Almost 90% of students got placements last year.
Infrastructure: The academic blocks are great. Our classrooms are average with just a table and a projector. There is nothing else to make it more interactive. Our labs are great with all those facilities and supercomputers. It becomes easier to work there and interesting to learn in labs. The library functions till 12 AM. It has 7 floors and is filled with books. All necessary books can be found there. I am disappointed with the hostel. For the fee we pay, they give us a bed, a table, and a cupboard. The fee is around Rs. 1,24,000 for 6 sharing air conditioning rooms. The cot is not separate. It is a bunk bed.
Faculty: Our faculty members are doctorates and Ph.D. holders. They are toppers of their batches and passed out from renowned colleges across the world. They are helpful and guide students in all situations where they need assistance. The course curriculum is very relevant because it offers 1,000 courses among which we are allowed to choose the course that we'd like to pursue. The curriculum allows us to explore new fields and improve our skills. Semester exams are set in a moderate way and sometimes hard also. It doesn't matter because if it's hard for everyone, the relative grading part will save you.
Other: The course is value for the money considering placements, classrooms, and lab facilities we are provided with. The campus is overcrowded. You can feel it when you wait hours for lifts in the academic blocks. Every hostel block has a 17-floor building and getting in the lift is the hectic part of it. Also when you visit restaurants on campus during noon, it's overcrowded.

My college overall Review.
Placements: The average salary package is around 8.5 LPA. Almost all companies visit. If students are good at studies and can apply their knowledge in real life, then there is a high chance of your placement. Top companies like Infosys, TCS, etc., visit the college for placements.
Infrastructure: There are three hostels on campus and three major academic buildings. The mess food is decent. There are various labs, including Fluid Mechanics, MATLAB, BEEE Lab, English Lab, Chemistry Lab, and many more. Projectors are available in each class. Wi-Fi is available in the hostels and labs.
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%.
