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.

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 The curriculum, like other NITs and IITs, is outdated and not relevant in this era.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.

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%.

Review of VNIT Nagpur Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology.

Faculty: In our college, professors are extremely qualified and knowledgeable in their domains, with about 8–10 years of teaching experience. Some professors are approachable and teach well, while others are very strict and do not teach effectively. The worst part about this college is the semester exams. They are extremely hard compared to other colleges, and professors do not give good grades, making it really difficult to score a high CGPA like 8+. You need to study hard to pass exams.

The college is placement-focused. Hence, there is more focus on academics.

Faculty: Faculty members were good and approachable toward students, with obvious exceptions, which I felt could be found anywhere. In spite of the growing software-oriented culture, professors encouraged students to take up core engineering as their future in advanced fields of work. Many professors were open to research work with students who showed interest in spite of the poor research and experiential setup. I was from the Electrical Engineering Department, and as per my experience, the professors i...

Norms and strictness are at their peak in 2026.

Faculty: Faculty members are very strict. Sometimes not coordinative enough if you have grudges or harsh talks. They solely have the power to either pass or fail the exam and the curriculum is flexible as we can opt for many OCs and HMs to complete the credit.

Review of VNIT Nagpur, chemical engineering.

Faculty: Professors are like dictators, none of them follow a single set of rules each of them have their own set of rules. Course is good for research and not for placements, for placements you have to study on your own. Some subjects are easy but some subjects are there only to fail you. These professors teach to fail students, it's like a joke to them.
