    Good college to study in.
    Placements: We're the first batch of M.Sc. Data Science. Still we haven't attended the placement. We all hope that we would get average salary of 40,000 per month. Since all the company needed data scientist we definitely believe that all will be placed in Good Company.
    Infrastructure: We have a good infrastructure and we have Wi-Fi access upto 50 gp per year. All the lab has inbuilt software needed for the for curriculum related subjects. We have canteens in all the buildings and all the lab has AC. Per lab has 100 members capacity and with 4gb ram.
    Faculty: All faculty in VIT has Ph.D. and faculty are very helpful. Their teaching techniques are good but not upto the level. Since we're the first batch so our faculty has some queries about what the industry is expecting from the students. We're following MIT syllabus.
    Other: 1) I'm interested in data analysis and I'm familiar with phyton so I chose data Science. 2)In data Science Machine learning is needed most. But our faculty have no experience in Machine learning so it hard to learn. 3) Every year once we have revira.
