A compressive review - VIT campus.

Placements: In my course, nearly 80% of students are placed till now in my branch. The highest salary package offered is 17 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3.3 LPA. There are multiple top companies like Samsung, Velankani, Eular Motors, and Embedded. These companies offer the best package and roles. Nearly 40% of students got internships in this college. Top roles offered are quality assurance, PCB hardware designer, and power electronic engineer.

VIT: The Good, The Bad, The Memorable.

Placements: The placements in our college are really good, even though there are a little number of recruitment limits from every company. Placements are easier and better here, as this year there were about 300 companies which came to recruit us. If there were no placements, my plan was to do a Master’s abroad, probably in Singapore or Switzerland. The highest package last year was for 1.1 crore, and the average package was around 9.9 LPA. You need a minimum 6 CGPA to get placed, but I would recommend at l...

Love-hate relationship with VIT.

Placements: In our course, almost all of our students were placed. The highest package was 50 LPA, while the lowest was 3 LPA. The top recruitment company was TCS, as far as I believe. Around 40% of the students got internships from our course, and the top roles offered were managerial positions, as far as I have heard.

All You Need to Know About VIT

Placements: There are 75 students in each class, around 3000-4000 students in each batch, where 2000-3000 get placed every year. If you have skills, you can get a placement. The competition is tough, with low chances of getting an internship. Most of the top recruiting companies come here every year, including MANG and other top companies.

Why take VIT Vellore – My experience.

Placements: SEE placement here is like, if you deserve, you get. Companies coming here for recruitment are looking for skills, but remember to maintain a decent CGPA. Top recruits are TCS, and Wipro Technologies, and the college has a good alumni network, so it helps in getting internships for college students. The faculty is top-class.

Average college.

Placements: The placements are okay, but super dream offers are not that many. Most people get placed in service-based companies through mass hiring. If you prepare well, you will get around 10-12 LPA CTC; higher offers are also received, with the highest around 1.2cr and 50 LPA. Internship opportunities are good; many companies like PayPal, Wells Fargo, Visa, Intuit, Motorq, etc., come for placements.
