Students need not to worry if they miss the internal exams.They won't be failed semester examination.

Marks from internal exams (mid-semester exams) are taken into account throughout VJTI's final grading process.Actually, the midterm, final, and instructor evaluation scores are combined to create the final evaluation score.which places a 20% weight on the midterm exam, a 60% weight on the final exam, and a 20% weight on the instructor evaluation.If someone misses the internal tests due to a medical condition, they may retake the exam at the conclusion of the semester. But always make an effort to show up for tests;because the re-exams are hard to clear.

Here it goes :

• In-Semeter tests are important

ISTs contribute heavily to SPA and it's easy to score in IST as compared to end-sem examinations. When I was a fresher, I was told otherwise. There was a senior of mine, who told me to ‘chill’ during ISTs and work harder in end sems. I should've ask for more opinions but I didn't. I ended up having very low first year GPA and now in seventh sem, I am still trying to revive my first year loss.

Don't be dependent on end sems for good grades.

• CGPA is not everything.

CGPA matters.

High CGPA opens a lot of opportunities like foreign internship, research internship with a reputed lecturer at IIT.

Above average CGPA can open doors to lots of companies and interviews. For further studies, CGPA is the reflection of your knowledge and dedication. It can be your make or break.

But average or low GPA doesn't mean you are good for nothing. A 7+ can sureshot provide you opportunity to appear for good and respectable company placements. You should work hard to get maximum GPA you can get but if you fail to get what you desired, it's okay. Your life won't end. Opportunities won't end.

Don't feel disheartened if you are not able to get desired grades.

A lot of time, people work really hard but couldn't cross the minimum threshold of GPA everyone keep stressing about.

There is no uniform in VJTI. But it does have a dress code. Shorts are strictly not allowed in VJTI.

Avoid wearing small and exposive clothes. Choose outfits that cover your shoulders, legs adequately.

ID card should be compulsory. Certain academic programs or practical sessions may require students to wear specific safety gear, such as lab coats, safety goggles, helmets, or closed-toe shoes. Students should comply with the safety guidelines and wear the necessary.

Overall, the dress code at VJTI focuses on maintaining a professional and respectful environment that aligns with the standards of an academic institution.Decent clothing should be maintained.

Students can engage in various organizations like Technovanza (Technical fest), Enthusia (Sport fest), etc. This provides exposure to personality development and improves ourselves. Faculties and staff are very supportive and they encourage us to take part in the events and get exposure to some managerial work. These events take place on the campus itself with all kinds of safety measures and to handle emergencies.

College campus is huge.Various Events, Guest lectures and Exhibitions are organised at big level in this college. College teachers and staff is highly supportive. College is located at very hygienic area of Matunga surrounded with Don bosco school and ICT college Mumbai.

In college many events held by Technovanza. For mechanical engineer VJTI racing is best for gaining practical knowledge about Mechanical stream. It is like doing 2 internships in Company.

The campus is not very big but a peaceful place with 16 acres of area, cricket ground, open study space and one football court. Building being constructed in 1887 is not very spacious but historic and somehow, more old fashioned that you will come to know after seeing the design of gates and windows. Mainly 3 entrance gates, one from Mechanical gate, one hostel GATE (on the wadala road) and one Main GATE (only place where you can read the name of college). Well I assure you one thing, you will be lost.

The best thing that happened to me in Mumbai is VJTI. Taking admission to this institute is worth it. Talking about the fests VJTI itself has its own SUNBURN. Also, technical fest Techovanza is one the biggest tech fests in India. The institute also offers various scholarships you just need to apply properly for that.
