Review of VNIT Nagpur - Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology.

Faculty: The teaching faculty of this college was quite helpful and highly renowned. They were very helpful and provided enough knowledge about particular subjects to help students improve in their respective studies. We could easily communicate with them to get solutions to our problems, whether related to academics or otherwise. There was a semester exam system in the college with a CGPA grading system. The external exam carried 75 marks. 25 marks were for internal assessment, which included assignment...

Dissatisfied with campus life.

Faculty: Every teacher is highly qualified, but not everyone puts in the effort to teach. We will have all the books in the library. The course curriculum is nice, and it is relevant to the present situation. The question papers will be difficult, and the pass percentage depends on relative performance, similar to that of JEE.

An average Computer Science student's life at VNIT.

Faculty: Teachers are cooperative and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is relevant now. Initially, there used to be common courses for all branches in the first year, which led to studying subjects of other branches, which we won't use anytime in the future in our degree. But the revised curriculum led to department-wise subjects from the first year itself, which is very useful. Semester exams are moderately difficult. If we focus on class lectures and study well, then we ca...

An institute of national importance for a reason.

Faculty: All the teachers are helpful. The minimum qualification of the teachers in VNIT Nagpur is at least a Ph.D., which gives students the opportunity to learn from brilliant professors. The examinations at VNIT are quite challenging, and the quality of questions in the examination is decent.

As good as an IIT if you can make the best out of it.

Faculty: There is no branch change facility. A 75% attendance rule is followed, and students may receive a W grade and have to repeat the course if their attendance is low. Faculty members are really nice and teach very well if students focus. The course structure is also great. There is no Chemistry for CSE/ECE students, which is a plus.

It's a good college for a mechanical engineer, like myself.

Faculty: Teachers are mostly Ph.Ds in their own domain. They have vast knowledge in their respective field. Teaching is good and understandable. The course book is provided early, and the course content taught is already informed to students. College exams are set by professors only, so they are mostly based on the syllabus.

VNIT Nagpur- the man, the myth, the legend.

Faculty: Faculty members here are well qualified, usually Ph.D. holders and Ph.D. scholars. They are highly qualified and good. The curriculum, like other NITs and IITs, is outdated and not relevant in this era. The exams are mid, mildly difficult except for some exams such as EE and M1.

You had to qualify JEE to get into this.

Faculty: Faculty members were really experienced and talented. But most failed to deliver the same knowledge to students. Most teachers had a vast knowledge bank, but were not the best at teaching. There were two exams, namely midterms and end-of-term terms, carrying 30 and 50 marks respectively. The course was slightly old in terms of content, but updates were being made that were branch-specific, such as more detailed electronics in the electrical lab, including diodes and other relevant experiments.

Solid mechanical engineering experience at VNIT Nagpur.

Faculty: Mechanical depth at the VNI solid faculty is qualified, and some are from there, though teaching quality varies. The curriculum is strong, with labs, projects, and industry visits making you job ready in core fields. Exams are moderate, regular study is enough to clear overall good fundamentals, but you need self effort for extra skills like coding.

The view of VNIT college from the eyes of a sophomore.

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.

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%.

This was the best college for the M.Sc. in Chemistry course.

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.

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.

I am satisfied with the opportunities the college gives to students.

Faculty: All the teachers here are PhD graduates and helpful. Teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is updated and relevant. We have lab sessions for every theory course. Semester exams are very hard here and require continuous study. Exams can't be passed by studying one night before. The overall passing rate is almost 98.6%.
