Satisfied with all faculty. Good placements in 2026, but not satisfied with the architecture.

Placements: Across all branches, 60–70% of students get placed. So far, for non-core companies, 14 LPA is the maximum package offered. The lowest is 6 LPA. Approximately 8 LPA is the average. Almost 60–70% of students from my senior batch do internships in their 2nd year.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure, or we can say our college architecture, is not that good. There are just buildings. It is not very interesting infrastructure. Still, all departments and all the buildings have all the facilities. Hostels are also good. The room size is average, not so small that you have to compromise. The mess food is also average. It is not so good that we can say it is tasty, and not so bad that we can't eat it.

Faculty: All professors' behavior is really good. They also have so much knowledge. There are so many things we can learn from them. They are also very supportive of inter-NITs, startups, etc. Mid-semester exams are generally easy, but the checking is tough. However, the end-semester exams are tough, but the checking is a little loose.

Other: Actually, I give more preference to the college rather than the branch. I chose VNIT because of its strong alumni network and also its sports facilities.

This college is really worth all the effort in JEE.

Placements: Last year as per my information 65 percent of students got placed from my course. The highest package is 20 LPA. The average is 10 LPA. HPCL and ZS are the top recruiting companies in our course. 25 percent of students got internships till now this year. The top role offered is analyst.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is somewhat old for our department but the library has new infra. Wi-Fi works best in classrooms and the library. Hostel infrastructure is average. Facilities available here include Wi-Fi and if it's not working, we can connect to LAN also. In the hostel sports are available, but they are very limited.

Faculty: The faculty is very experienced here but they are also old which affects their behaviour with young students. Due to the generation gap, we can't connect too much with them, but some faculty members are really helpful and understand us well. Curriculum is very relevant and it makes students industry-ready. The exams are very difficult. The pass percentage is 40 percent.
