Dissatisfied with campus life.
Placements: The good thing about VNIT is placement. We will get good placements even at a low CGPA. The highest package will be around 64 LPA, and when it comes to the lowest, it may be around 4 LPA. Mahindra, Tata, BHPL, PSU, etc. The students with a CGPA of around 8.5 will get internships easily. Design and Manufacturing is the top role offered in Mechanical Engineering.
Infrastructure: We will get the best Wi-Fi, good labs, good classrooms, and the best library. We will get 24/7 Wi-Fi through LAN. The food is average. We have one healthcare center, which is good. We have an ambulance for emergencies too. There will be a lot of sports to participate in and practice.
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.
Placements: About 70-80 percent of students are placed till the end of the placement season. Top recruiting companies are Oracle, Google, Goldman Sachs, VISA, Wells Fargo, and Arista, which offer really great packages. Some other good companies hire a good number of people, including Hilti, Accenture, etc. The highest package offered is 40 LPA, and the lowest package offered ranges from 4-5 LPA. The average package offered ranges from 7-8LPA.
Infrastructure: Everything is well-equipped with every required thing in the department. Just the CSE department building is a bit old, as compared to the new infrastructure constructed on the campus. Labs do have ACs, and Wi-Fi is available. A unique building, i.e., Class Room Complex (CRC), is where classes take place. Hostels are well equipped with LAN and Ethernet connections for free internet. The cleanliness is maintained at regular intervals, but still, it can be improved a bit. Food quality is not bad, but still, there is space for improvement.
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 can pass easily.
Other: I chose this course because CSE is a chill branch, which I heard about before choosing college and branch, but here I feel we do have a bit of a busy schedule. A lot of lab evals and assignments make us busy and let us feel they are not that chill, though. But it feels like it's for our learning only. So nothing bad. It has a bit of a busy schedule.

An institute of national importance for a reason.
Placements: 88% of students were placed in B.Tech in mechanical engineering. The highest package was around 20 LPA, and the average package for mechanical was around 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TATA Motors, Siemens, Bajaj Auto, Mahindra, etc. These offer top roles such as design engineer, data analyst, management training, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure available for mechanical engineering is well above average, and all facilities have been provided. The quality of food is decent, and the food tastes delicious and healthy. The facilities for sports and games are more than enough. Everything is available and well maintained. Many tournaments occur frequently, which keep the people engaged in sports.
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.
Placements: Placements are good if you work hard, and there are enough companies for deserving students. CSE/ECE have very good placements, and most serious students get placed. EEE/Mechanical/Civil have good placements in core sectors. M.Tech Civil has many company opportunities. MME/Mining still has enough opportunities for serious students. Chemical Engineering has many students getting placed in PSUs.
Infrastructure: The college has one of the best infrastructures among NITs, with good facilities in every department. The gym is available. Freshers stay in old hostels with triple-sharing rooms. Second- and third-year students get single-sharing rooms in old hostels. Fourth-year students get single-sharing rooms in new hostels. The swimming pool is amazing. The campus area is large, and students can do cycling.
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.
Other: This college is one of the best NITs out there.

It's a good college for a mechanical engineer, like myself.
Placements: Currently, 50% of my batch is placed. The lowest is 7 LPA and the highest is 18.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies were ZS and ABG. Many students got internships from our batch in companies like Bajaj, Tata, etc. As a quality inspector for a manufacturing unit. Overall, for campus placement, the college is good.
Infrastructure: Typical government hostel, gets cleaned every day. LAN connection is available for all the students. The mess food is average, like you can survive on the food, except on Sunday night. A health centre is available on campus itself, and an ambulance is also available. Good enthusiasm for sports also.
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.
Other: I have an interest in mechanical engineering, particularly in the automobile section, like car manufacturing and research & development. Professors are already qualified, and they mostly share their respective industrial reviews for students, which is nice. Events are held every 2 months or so. The campus crowd is normal, and the campus location is in the middle of the city.

VNIT Nagpur- the man, the myth, the legend.
Placements: The percentage of students placed is overall 86%, while in our branch it is 93%. The highest package is 64 LPA offered by Oracle to 9 students. The lowest package is 6 LPA. The average package is 17 LPA. The top companies recruiting are Oracle, Google, DE Shaw, and JP Morgan. About 60% of students receive internships. The top roles offered are SDE and data analyst.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is quite decent. There are old buildings dating back to 1980, and also newer buildings. Wi-Fi is available across the campus, except at hostels, where we have a LAN with good speed. There is a well-equipped international-level library. We have three messes. The food is above expectations, but is repetitive. It has one of the best sports facilities among all NITs.
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.
