Civil engineering in VIT is a good option. Faculties are decent and the opportunities of projects are also as per standards of good engineering colleges. However, the problem with civil engineering is that it is literally a dying field. Don't ever anticipate that after 3-4 years, there will be any progress in this field because no matter how many infrastructural projects come up, the intake of civil engineers in core jobs will be same. I don't know why it's that way. Talking about placements in the civil dept. of VIT, it's downright poor. About 30-40%. The best company that recruits from VIT is L&T construction. However, you'll have to be in the top 40s for it. Godrej Properties gives good package, however, their intake is less than 5. Tata housing, Saint Gobain are other 2 core firms that recruited last year but they too have a meagre intake and pay package. If you want to go for higher studies then you might take up civil in VIT. It is mainly about field work and you have to be very focused in your work site also.

VIT, Vellore accepts admission only through VITEEE.

I might have missed a few companies.
The highest package of this year was from West Line Ship Management (21.6 LPA). I don't know how the placements are there in IIT'sand NIT's for mechanical but here in VIT, these are the companies visited this year till now. I hope few more companies may join in this list at the end of this 2016 academic year because still one more semester is there to complete this academic year.
NOTE: All these above-mentioned companies had taken in single digit numbers (min 1- max 10) and package ranging (3LPA-12LPA)
In simple words, companies do come, it's up to you to get placed.

B.Tech in ME from BITS PILANI is better option then doing it from VIT due to following concerns
BITS Pilani is a preferred destination to recruit from, for a large number of companies. We feel validated in the quality of education and experience we provide to our students when a majority of our students are successfully placed on campus. Each of our programmes are designed to give our students a balanced education with theory as well as practical knowledge. In addition, they are encouraged to participate in extra curricular activities as it helps them develop soft skills and develop well rounded personalities. It is this that differentiates our students and makes them a valuable part of any company they join
Infrastructure: The College is under renovation and till 2020 it will be among the best colleges of India in terms of education as well as infrastructure. Renovated hostels have Wi-Fi facility. Library is world class. It has A.C. halls as well as non-A.C. rooms. Hostel rooms are good in condition. Labs and classrooms are not in a very good condition but after the renovation, they will be.
Sports facilities are very good. A separate area is being alloted for each and every sport.
Faculty: Faculty of the college is unlike those of other private colleges. They are very knowledgeable, helping and motivating.
The college has modern technology like projectors, videos are used to give examples or to explain the applications. Student to faculty ratio is 30:1 which is good enough. The course curriculum is good. Regular surveys are conducted to check if the students are facing any problems related to academics.
