Engineering

You can get any branch, if you have money to pay. VIT university is one of the top universities in India and is no different from the rest of the private universities when it comes to the admission. Basically, VIT university separates the students according to their ranks VITEEE ranks) for the admission. To my knowledge there are 4 categories as follows
People with less than 20k rank. Named merit candidates. Ample of chances to get your deserved branch with no donation. Tentative fee is 10lakhs ( for 4 years including hostel)
And yes here Mechanical, Electronics and communications and Computer Science are the top branches. And you need to get a rank less than 10k to opt any of these.

The placements at MGIT are not at par with respect to other the finest colleges of state. Most of the circuit branch students are remain unplaced. This is a misconception outside that most of them get placed but the actual scenario is the guy who secured a placement attracts more and recruits which is increasing the placement count. I know a girl who has bagged almost 4 best offers at my time. Earlier TCS used to be the major recruit this year they withdrew from their agreement on accreditation. This made the institution more lag in placements. Overall college is good, but you can't make best out of it. Don't look for count in website. Go interact with the final year students they can explain you the actual situation.
