The view of VNIT college from the eyes of a sophomore.
Placements: For mechanical engineering branch in the year 2024-2025, a placement percentage of 95+ was achieved, with the highest package being given by BPCL. The average and median were about 11.6 LPA and 10.8 LPA, respectively. The college has a reputation for having a higher placement percentage for mechanical students, even when compared to CSE from the last 2 years.
Infrastructure: There is very good infrastructure in the college for most of the programs, specifically for mechanical, there is a Siemens centre of excellence in which VNIT students can take part in certification courses in labs like product design and validation, test and optimization, reverse engineering, and many more. The mechanical engineering department has one smart classroom and many other classes. The only thing to complain about in the hostels is the food.
Faculty: The teachers from the department of Mechanical Engineering are very senior and very qualified. Everyone has a huge pool of knowledge that they are ready to share with the students. The course is evolving and becoming more industry-ready with each integration, like the involvement of CADM as a course to give opportunities to those who wish to get into design-related fields. The exams are not really difficult, but they are not graded leniently.

Visvesvaraya NIT College review.
Placements: About 80% of students managed to get placed. The highest salary package on the table is around 13 LPA, while the lowest sits at about 5 LPA. Most of the recruitment action comes from companies like ZS, JSW, Jindal Steel, Birla, and Varroc. Unfortunately, only a handful of students snagged internships at our college. Most have to venture out and search for opportunities elsewhere. The top job roles being offered usually include positions like consultant and view engineer.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is practical, with good facilities both for sports and academics. You can always use a LAN port for an unlimited public Ethernet connection.
Faculty: The teachers are very well-qualified and are of a lot of help. The teaching method is of very high quality. The training program is very relevant and it definitely prepares students for the industry. Semester exams are at a medium level of difficulty. However, the pass percentage is dependent on the average score of the class, which is 50%.

It has creative learning and a strong campus life.
Placements: Only 20% of students get placed in the entire batch. The highest package is 5.5 LPA and the lowest package offered is 3.5 LPA. Companies like Galatic Group, TCE Private Limited, Alliant Group, and Neilsoft are the top recruiting companies of our course. Almost 99% of the batch students got internships in companies all over India like, AABha Architects, Koushal & Anand Architects, Concept Design Studio, etc. Roles offered are junior architect, fresher architect, and consulting architect.
Infrastructure: The architecture department offers comprehensive facilities to support academic and creative pursuits. It features spacious design studios, smart classrooms, a clean and good hostel facility, high-performance labs, and campus-wide Wi-Fi. It provides additional amenities like materials in the library, exhibition space, and an auditorium.
Faculty: The architecture department at VNIT Nagpur has highly qualified and supportive faculty members. They provide valuable guidance in studio and project reviews. It has a well-structured and industry-relevant course curriculum. It covers design, construction, management, and fostering problem-solving. Semester exams are moderately challenging, and complemented by the continuous assessment that maintains academic rigor.
Other: I chose this course because of my own interest in the subjects, and I get to learn about them more in detail. However, there is room for improvement. Enhanced software training, more industry collaborations, and frequent site visits can make the course more effective. The campus environment is vibrant and dynamic. Cultural and technical fests like Axis and Aarohi are organised.

This was the best college for the M.Sc. in Chemistry course.
Placements: In our institution, 77% of students secured placements in our programme. The leading recruiting firms included HOCL, IOCL, ONGC, and several other top companies that visited our college. The top package from our research was approximately 25 LPA, while the average package stood at 12 LPA. Approximately 70% of students received internship offers. The advanced positions available included Analytical Chemist, Research Scientist, and others.
Infrastructure: There were good labs, great sports facilities, and a playground. Very big tournaments were organized every year, and coaches were provided for games. There was a hotel office. The hotel was awesome in every way, very clean and lush with lots of trees. The mess food was pretty good. There were large rooms for students. There was a small hotel fee of 750/year.
Faculty: Teachers had extensive education, with the majority holding PhDs in their respective specialties. Their teaching abilities were exceptional. Honestly, the curriculum had no bearing on technical objectives. The semester questions were well-organized and extremely hard.

Great quality of life. Have to compromise a bit on placement.
Placements: In the 2025 batch, approximately 80% of students are placed in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. The highest package is 14 LPA, the lowest 4.5 LPA, and the median 8 LPA. The average package of ECE, EEE, and MME was almost the same. MME comes just after Circuital in hierarchy in VNIT, above Mechanical and Chemical. Top recruiters are mainly from core industries (Jindal, JSW, etc.), and non-core recruiters are generally mass recruiters. Many students go for research internships. Top roles in core are entry-level, but in core, the stability of the job is unmatched. Whereas non-core shows big monetary gain early on in life.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and hostels are some of the best in NITs. 1st year students mainly get double-seater rooms, and if you report late, you will get triple-seater rooms. From the 2nd year, you have the option to choose either double or single-seater rooms. 3rd and 4th years are fully single-seater. 4th-year students get the newest apartment-class hostels. The mess is manageable, and medical and sports facilities are top class compared to any other NITs.
Faculty: All teachers hold Ph.D. degrees from IITs, IISERs, or abroad and are well qualified. Teacher quality varies, but in general, the faculty is all okay. From the 2nd year onwards, the departmental faculty handles everything. Semester exams are quite easy. Mostly everyone passes except for the BEE and Maths-II courses.
Other: I chose MME out of interest in the materials side of prospects and scope. The rising need for different materials in semiconductors is also a big upcoming area. Fests are not as grand as IIT Bombay's Mood Indigo or Tech Fest, but it is what it is. You will get pretty bored attending the same fests all 4 years, so enjoy 1st year as much as you can.

Faculty members are very poor, placements are average, and infrastructure is good.
Placements: I am in my first year and I can inform regarding last year reports. As per reports, 83 students registered for the placements. 53 students out of 83 students were placed. The highest package is 31 LPA, and the average package is 10.59 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, Reliance, Indian Oil, Tata, etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good. We have a separate building for classrooms which is called CRC. It is 6-floor building with every room being a smart room with a whiteboard, projector, and smart board. Blackboard and also there is Wi-Fi in the building. Library is also huge and it also has its own Wi-Fi facility. For medical purposes, we have our own health center which has all kinds of doctors, and even a pharmacy which is free of cost. Canteen food quality is good but mess quality is poor.
Faculty: Some teachers are good while most of them are useless. They don't know how to teach and it's a waste of time to attend their lectures. But for attendance purposes need to attend lectures. Their qualification may be high but some of them don't have a sense of teaching. First semester consists of 2 exams such as mid-semester and end-semester. Mid-semester is quite easy as compared to end-semester to score. End-semester is not only tough but also teachers don't give that much marks.
