I am satisfied with this college.
Placements: Top recruiting companies like Dr Reddy's laboratories, Novozymes, Biocon, Hindustan Unilever and various reputed pharmaceutical companies visit our college for our course placements. Students can apply for various positions like quality control, quality assurance analyst, R&D and bioinformatics field. There is a huge scope in life science field if you work in the right direction. I just entered into final year and not yet up for the placements so I cannot provide adequate information regarding the packages.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. The library is well-equipped. Wi-Fi facility is available both in the library and in the hostels. A health centre is available right inside the campus. The taste of food varies from mess to mess because all the hostels have their own mess. Gym and other sports facilities are available here.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are friendly and approachable. They are well-qualified with a PhD degree and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good, and there should be two-way interaction. Teachers are doing their jobs perfectly so we should do our part too for fruitful results. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready because every semester we do several projects and gain the working experience of the same and get to present our work. Biosummit and other conferences are conducted where students can directly interact with the industry experts.
Other: Every year fest named Riviera is conducted at our college, which is one of the biggest fests across the country. Various clubs are available to conduct extracurricular activities.

Review of VIT University - Vellore Institute of Technology.
Placements: Almost 80% of the students got placed in high profile biotech companies in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad such as Bicon, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Bhat Biotech, etc. The highest salary offered is around Rs. 25,000 per month, and the lowest salary offered ranges from Rs. 15,000 to 20,000 per month. Most of the students joined in quality control as well as in R&D sections. Rest of the students opted for PhD.
Infrastructure: VIT provides high-quality facilities. It not only provides a great atmosphere for students all over the campus but also in the hostels. There is a high-speed Wi-Fi facility. There are high tech laboratory instruments. The library is world-class, which provides all sorts of information. VIT hostels are well-maintained and hygienic. Water and electricity supply is available 24x7. The food served in the hostel mess is very good and hygienic.
Faculty: All faculty members in VIT are well-known for their renowned work all over India as well in the world. All the course which is provided to us is relevant and well-designed. It will be beneficial for the students for future exposures.
Other: I have chosen this course in VIT because I found that VIT is the only university in India which provide students with high-quality facilities along with world-class exposure to learn more and groom themself for the future.

A roller coaster journey in VIT.
Placements: I joined in 2021; it started in online mode due to COVID. But eventually offline classes started after 2 months. Overall, it was a good experience. The labs were well maintained with good equipment. Many companies visited, like Lapcorp, TCS, Biocon, Syngeneic, and OG Healthcare. Many were placed. It's all up to you how you perform. The grading system is a bit different from the relatively simple grading system that VIT follows.
Infrastructure: Hostels were both affordable and costly. You will get it based on merit, starting from 30k to 2.5 lpa. AC/non AC 1-6 sharing rooms are there. The labs are well-equipped, with plenty of instruments. Good exposure is there. The library is massive, with a large selection of books available for loan by scanning your ID.
Faculty: 3 exams (CAT1, CAT2 and FAT), 2 digital assignments and 2 set projects per semester. All the teachers were qualified and helpful. But some are not that supportive. The course curriculum is a bit difficult; you have to take on pressure to complete all the exams and projects. Pass percentage is average; if you study, you will pass.
Other: VIT is a bit crowded. But hostel life was great. You will get everything. We have Nescafé shops, juice shops, canteens, cake shops and even Domino's inside our campus.

Each department consists of placement cell governed by faculty members.
Infrastructure: VIT provides the most modern kind of technology support for students. Infrastructure is highly modern and students friendly. Smart classrooms are another highlight of VIT. More than 6 catering service available in VIT hostel, and we can choose anyone according to our desire. Rooms are well-furnished and cleaned.
Faculty: All faculty members in our college are PhD holders, and teaching quality depends individually. Some of them are very good, and some are not. Notes are provided in PDF and PPT form. Study curriculum was less compare to B.Sc. Students may feel pressure because of much lab works, and schedules are highly strict. VIT provides only one-day industrial visits.
Other: Revera and Biosummit are most famous fest celebrated in VIT. VIT provides only the scholarship of Rs. 10,000.

A place to learn and a chance to grow.
Placements: This institute is known for 100% placements while it is true in the case of engineering students. For us, life science students, the guarantee of getting placed is very little. In our case biotech companion and some educational institutes came for placements which were diverged from our line of field. These companies offered a package of 3-5 lacs per annum.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is excellent with all the facilities of Wi-Fi, smart class, advanced laboratories and a library. The fully flexible curriculum system (FFCS) and wide ranges of courses helped students with diverse interests. Hostel rooms are really good and spacious with all kinds of indoor games and bad gym facilities.
Faculty: All the faculty possess PhD degrees and are highly qualified for the undertaken course. The curriculum here is very flexible which helps the students to manage their time with extra curricular activities. Both indoor and outdoor sports facilities are offered with professional trainers. Final semester of our course was in an industry which gave us industrial exposure. We also had a few industrial visits.
