Hi, VIPS tries to get more and more companies every year, so that every student gets placed. The college even gets internships for students doing BCA and BJMC Law and BJMC. Placements are rather better, though even here most students choose to look for a job themselves. Companies that visit the campus are Airtel, NDTV, Zee, Mid-day for journalism students. The college doesn't own its own hostel which is one drawback but there surely are PGs/Flats (private) at a stone throw distance from the campus. As I said earlier that the region outside college is less safe, it all depends on you whether to go for PGs or not. Students from outer Delhi region have no choice but to stay in PGs or at a relative's place. The faculty at the Vivekanand Institute are senior professors, with high qualification and a lot of experience in their respective fields. Faculty members in all the departments are good, and dedicated. Many are friendly and understanding, many aren't. Professors often provide handouts so that students can study at home. You won't feel much of a difference at first between school and college due to the strictness for dress codes but you would surely sink in the environment later. All the best.

The field of architecture has evolved greatly over the years. A decade ago, the tools, approach and the method of application of the knowledge in architecture schools was very different from what we have today. Earlier the maps and designs were made with the use geometrical tools whereas in the current scenario, the use of computer software makes it easier. In short, technology has widened the scope and approach. Hence accordingly, there have been many additions to the syllabus and course structure. The entire programme has been given more practical approach. The primer institutions are also modifying their syllabus to suit the current industry demands. The placements have become more systematic and more talent based as now with the help of technology students are able to present more realistic projects and get better placements and better packages.
