Really good infrastructure Nice placements in 2024 Fests are amazing Alot of crows
Placements: I have started my college in the year 2024 and this year total 1500 students have taken ECE. This is inclusive of all the specializations. In ECE (core ) there are about 1000 students. VLSI there are about 300 and the rest in BIOMED. Intel and Nvidia are the top recruiting companies.
Infrastructure: The class rooms and the labs are really good. The atmosphere and the devices equipments everything is out of the world. When it comes to hostel, the new ones are amazing but the old ones are not that good. They are making new hostels. I would prefer you to chose ac hostel. The ac is on 24/7.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful and they are ready to take the extra mile for you. The course has an extra subject which is dedicated for making you industry ready . The exams are not very difficult it's mostly based on what's taught and you can always refer old papers. The seniors are really helpful, they will help you out with almost everything.
Other: I chose this course because I had a profound interest in hardware and embedded system. There are events every single week. I have been here for quite sometime now and every week there are atleast 1or 2 events. There was recently a fest GRAVITAS its mostly of fun activities which does include laser tag and gokarting. There are numerous overnight hackathons and other competitions. Campus crowd is alot this is one thing u will always feel Extracurricular activities aree too many There are over 150 clubs and teams

Good placements even during recession, world-class infrastructure.
Placements: Around 95 to 100% of students are placed every year. This year, the placements are still going on. For ECE, Siemens, Schneider, NVIDIA, and Texas Instruments have recruited. Graduate Engineer Trainee, Software Developed. Data analyst and data scientist are some of the many roles offered. The average package is 9 LPA and the highest package offered was 80 LPA. About 70% of the students got internships and some have received both internships and full-time offers. KPIT, Siemens, Schneider, Philips, etc. have provided internships.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is excellent. Wi-fi is available in all the hostel blocks. Classrooms have smartboards that faculty members use to present their lectures. The quality of the food is very good and better compared to other colleges. Students can select from various types of messes and can change them every month. Many basketball, volleyball, badminton courts, swimming pool and gymnasiums are available to students.
Faculty: The teachers are all very qualified and knowledgeable. They are ready to help with research work or doubts regarding the curriculum matter. The teaching quality is good and any irregularities can be raised in the quality circle meetings. Strict action is taken against the faculty. The curriculum is relevant but it also includes a lot of outdated technology that is no longer in use. I feel the syllabus can be improved further. The students are industry-ready. The continuous assessments (2 every semester) are moderate to difficult and the final exams are moderate. The quizzes and assignments are often easy. The pass percentage varies from class to class and subject to subject.
Other: ECE is the perfect blend of software and hardware. One can pursue a career in the core industry or the IT industry. This course also helps with placements. We have a lot of practical work to do, and we have to deal with a lot of pieces of equipment in this course. The hands-on learning helps nurture interest and curiosity. The syllabus can be updated by eliminating some outdated technologies no longer used anywhere, and the course is considered to be one of the toughest branches of engineering. Gravitas is the technical fest and Riviera is the cultural fest. We also have over 250 clubs and chapters that students can be a part of. Along with this, sports are also actively played; we have our own VIT Premier League every year.

An absolutely great college with great placements and infrastructure.
Placements: In my batch, there are very good placements; approximately 70% of students are placed. The top recruiting companies are Wipro, TCS, Cap Gemini, etc. The top placement offered at our college is about 21 LPA. The lowest package is about 4 LPA, and the average package is about 13 LPA.
Infrastructure: It has very good infrastructure. It has a very large library. There will be Wi-Fi available in our hostel rooms. The quality of the food is good, but it needs to be improved. During my time, there was a canteen and a medical support room. There will be two tables, one study table, and a chair. I was in a double-shared room.
Faculty: The teachers are very qualified and friendly. The curriculum needs improvement. But the labs are very good and have a great infrastructure. The college makes us ready for industrial experience. And it provides an internship in the third year. Which is completely useful for students.
Other: I have chosen this course because I thought it would be good and have a huge scope for the future. And updated curriculum and infrastructure made me choose.

VIT-Vellore, huge crowd, but good placements and infrastructure.
Placements: In 2023, 98% of students were placed, with placements ranging from 4 LPA to 1 CPA. The average package ranges from 6 LPA to 15 LPA, depending upon the course. A placement tracker is available on the website for more accurate statistics. 820 companies have visited the campus as of today, with top companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Morgan Stanley, Intel, etc. Almost all the students get paid and unpaid internships. Entry-level jobs to junior management offers are given to students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is on par with even international universities, spread over 300 acres with a lush green campus and well-ventilated buildings. High-speed Wi-Fi is available all over the campus, including the library, labs, classrooms, and hostels, with speed up to 1 Gbps per system. Well-cushioned seats are in well-ventilated classrooms, AC labs, and very friendly lab assistants. Hostels range from 16-bedded non-AC dorms to single-bedded AC rooms, with fees ranging from 1 LPA to 2.3 LPA, including mess. Veg, non-veg, and special mess options are available. A 24x7 counselor and infirmary are available, along with a night canteen, badminton courts, and various canteens and shops.
Faculty: ECE is the up-and-coming course in the semiconductor industry and is very relevant in today’s time as it includes both hardware and software. It is a very challenging and interesting course. The faculty members are very knowledgeable and smart with Ph.D. degrees and a very helpful attitude. Semester exams are held every 5 months, and part tests are held every month. Almost all students pass, and the difficulty level is moderate.
Other: My course has a lot of scope in semiconductors and VLSI design, and I can get placements in both core and teaching roles, which is what intrigued me. I wish they would find new techniques to make the syllabus a bit easier, as the syllabus is very hard. Two events are held every year with celebrity guests, including one tech fest, and there are 59 clubs and chapters for student enjoyment. The campus is located 5 minutes from the nearest railway station.

Vellore Institute of Technology Vellore review.
Placements: The placements for ECE in our batch are good. But most people placed in the IT sector. The ECE core companies are fewer. They mostly prefer EEE students. I got an internship in a company called DEXIAN. If we get an internship, we are eligible to apply for full-time offers as well.
Infrastructure: We can get Wi-Fi in hostels and auditoriums. Labs are very well-equipped. Classrooms are very good. They also have projectors and comfortable benches. It also has a huge library. It consists of a large bunch of books and journals. The faculty members are highly qualified, and teaching is very good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable with good teaching quality. The curriculum makes the students industry-ready. The semester exams are a bit tricky but can become easy if we study well. The pass percentage is 40. There are 2 midterms, each of 50 marks with 15 marks weightage each, for 30 marks and a final exam for 100 marks with 40 marks weightage.
Other: During my joining, they were not able to conduct the VITEEE entrance exam due to the pandemic. So they considered 12th marks and JEE percentile and gave ranks accordingly. Based on ranks, counseling is conducted to allot seats. I got ECE in feels category 1.

Yes you can get ECE branch based on your options of filling in counselling. There will conduct nearly 11 counselling. So you can get your option in another round and if it is not possible then in 2nd round. So don't lose hope.

No, 56000 is a high rank. You can't get a seat in ECE in category 1 or 2. But, it is possible for the last category which doubles the fess of category 1.

VIT doesn't accept JEE Score. There is a separate entrance called VITEEE conducted by VIT to take admission in any of the B.Tech programmes. And the minimum eligibility is 60% in 12th boards.

I feel it would be difficult for you to get a seat in ECE in category 1. I would say try your luck. There have been situations, where it was available till 9000. I hope this helps.
