Each year, Vellore Institute of Technology offers scholarships in the form of tuition waivers and freeships. While merit scholarships are awarded to class toppers, economically challenged students are provided need-based financial assistance. Furthermore, NRI and foreign students are given scholarships upon presenting meritorious records. Students from rural backgrounds who secure top ranks in VITEEE at the district level (in Tamil Nadu only) are given free education.

Students who wish to pursue MTech are also given scholarships, given that they score well in the GATE exam. In addition, scholarships are given to students who excel in sports and games. Financial assistance is also provided to students who wish to do their project work in partner universities and institutions abroad, under the Semester Abroad Programme (SAP). In order to encourage the students to pursue active research, VIT also awards appropriate research associateships to meritorious and needy students.

Excellent Academics, Impressive Placements, and Vibrant Campus Life at VIT Bhopal University.

Placements: VIT Bhopal University has a robust placement cell that ensures students are well-prepared for the recruitment process.

Every year, renowned companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and HCL visit the campus to recruit talented students.

Not as bad of a college as reviews make it out to be; a lot depends on you.

Placements: As of now, about 50% of students in my batch are placed, and placements are still ongoing this year. The market isn't great, so the average package is around 8 LPA. Companies recruiting include big names like Google, TCS, Infosys, as well as smaller ones. Zepto Kirana came for a store manager role with a package of 4.5 LPA. In addition to engineering roles, a lot of consulting roles were offered by companies like Deloitte and others.

Opportunities are there but hard work is needed.

Placements: CGPA plays an important role in the placement criteria. You need to be different from the crowd, as the crowd here is really huge. Opportunities are there for growth, but you need to be aware of things. Startup culture is not very good here as compared to tier 1 colleges.

Good college, great security and facilities.

Placements: In my branch (CSE core), there was an almost 90% placement rate. Most of the roles were software or hardware positions, with some consultant roles as well. Top companies like Google, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft visit for placement drives. The highest package offered might be 60 LPA, and the lowest might be 5 LPA.

Bachelor of Business Administration at VIT University.

Placements: For BBA, the placements are good according to their fee structure. More than 90 percent of students were placed. The highest package is 4 to 5 LPA, and a maximum of 2 students only get this. Others will get average and low. The average package is 3 LPA and the lowest is 2 LPA. Most startups from Bangalore and Chennai come for placement. Mostly the roles offered are Sales and Business Development. Sometimes Finance, but rarely. They don't provide any internships; you should search for them on you...

If you have money, I guess it is a good college; the 30 lakh fee is way too high.

Placements: If you get good grades, you will be able to sit in most of the companies, like if you get above 9 CGPA, then you can sit in every company, and if you get less than that 9 CGPA, then you will not be able to sit in the super dream company (10 lakh and above). Not everyone sits in the placement; those who have a good CGPA are allowed, and the highest is 75 lpa, and the lowest can vary in case the company picks you up in bulk, which will give you around 3–4 lpa.
