Importance of pursuing higher studies after B.Tech in Chemical engineering.
Placements: Both me and my dad had done extensive research on this course at VIT. Chemical engineering isn't well developed in India, and as such, only 40–50% of students perusing chemical engineering get placed. Now, this percent does not include core companies; some of them get placed in consulting companies too. The rest of the students pursue higher studies abroad if they are not doing an MBA. The average package would be around 6 LPA.
Infrastructure: The girls hostel is top-notch, if not one of the best in the country. Vellore being a hot city, the AC is always running in the rooms, and mess food is great too. VIT is a big and beautiful campus and the infrastructure is phenomenal.
Faculty: In VIT, the academic structure extends way beyond just end-of-semester exams, incorporating a comprehensive evaluation system with CAT1 and CAT2. Complementing this academic rigour, VIT recognizes the importance of holistic development and employability skills; hence, the institute mandates a soft skill course (STS).

Good college and the faculty members are good.
Placements: In our Branch, there are about 125 students. We didn't get any core company job offers for the senior who passed out this year as per my seniors' knowledge. I am expecting around 5-6 Lacs package for my CGPA. Top roles in many industries are chemical engineers.
Infrastructure: Actually, I am a day scholar, but I know a little about hostel facilities. The hostel room infrastructure is based on the fee you pay for it. The higher you pay you get luxury hostel. There is both air conditioned and normal rooms. And the mess is best part of VIT because it gives you various option to choose.
Faculty: The teachers are knowledgeable but the knowledge teacher is higher priority in the FFCS. The curriculum is relevant as many faculty members give the application-oriented problems and they take for industrial visits. The CAT 1 is closed book which is easy, and the CAT 2 is open book we can use our notebook and text for the exam.
Other: VIT conducts many events. Not only the authority conducts the events even the club members can do the event. We have RIVERA Gravitas and many events.

The infrastructure and facilities are excellent, strict regarding outing and other rules.
Placements: Most students are placed in IT companies, while few land positions in core companies; many opt for higher studies. All students without backlogs secured internships through the college. Companies like Honeywell visit frequently, and students secure positions in companies such as Yamaha, Maruti Suzuki, Accenture, Kia, Nokia, PwC, Deloitte, Hero, etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available from 6 am to 12:30 am. Rooms and washrooms are clean in most hostel blocks; a few blocks have badminton grounds. Most classrooms are satisfactory, and the library is excellent. Not all mess facilities are good; some are poor, while a few are decent.
Faculty: All teachers are qualified, but many lack teaching skills. Some professors fail to provide any study material, such as PowerPoint presentations. The course curriculum is relevant but lacks alignment with industry standards. Exams are relatively easy to pass based on performance, as grading may make it easier or harder to pass depending on the paper's difficulty. For instance, a tough paper might make passing easier, while an easy paper might require a higher passing criteria. A minimum of 40% in finals is needed to pass the course.

Good quality of education in VIT.
Placements: The placements are very good for CSE and IT. The average placement for other branches is comparatively lower. The average package is 6-8 LPA, but students from all the branches can sit for mass IT placements. The internship opportunities provided are very good here.
Infrastructure: VIT has one of the best infrastructures. The Wi-Fi is slow but manageable, labs are well-equipped, library is vast, hostels are well maintained and food is a matter of perspective, but overall it's good. The college provides a lot of student chapters and clubs that students actively run.
Faculty: Teachers and really good. VIT follows fully flexible credit system, so you can choose you own teachers every semester, there are 2 CAT exams, internal assignments and projects, quizzes and then the final FAT exam as semester end exam. Consistent efforts are needed throughout the semester.
Other: VIT provides quality education. It provides good opportunities to learn and enhance our skills. The curriculum is updated in every few years.

Very satisfied with college, placement and the overall experience.
Placements: 70-80% of students are placed with about 40-45% of total students placed in core companies. The highest package was 7.5 LPA, whereas the lowest was 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Honeywell, Ecolab, Tata chemicals, Reliance Industries. Internship is only offered by Ecolab to only 4-5 candidates as per my knowledge. Top roles are Process engineers, production engineers, project engineers, TPM engineers etc.
Infrastructure: All the facilities were excellent. College is investing more and more every year on the new and best quality infrastructure of labs, equipments, classrooms as well as the hostels. The medical facilities and extracurricular facilities are there for students.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful and highly qualified. Most of the faculty members have industrial experience and help prepare interested students in the same. All of them are very good in research and are always ready to support any student interested in research in the relevant field.
Other: I choose the course because I always had an interest in working in the field and this will help me in this. Most of the people think chemical engineering is about chemicals but it is not, chemicals are only a part of it and the course really gives you a better understanding of that. Extracurricular, chapters, events, fests are available for chemical engineers on campus as well as on the other campus. Faculty members and University support the interested students in participating in the fest which are being held at other college campuses. Scholarship, campus, crowd, everything is same as it is for any other student in any other course.

During counselling based on your rank if you get VIT, Vellore, they shall allow you to take it! In the form, they just ask for their analysis! If your rank is good you'll get Vellore. They value merit a lot!
