Civil Engineering in VIT is good. Faculties are decent and the opportunities of projects are also as per standards of good engineering colleges. However 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 that 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.

Hello Jakhar,
VIT university tops the list of the rankings among the private universities as per NIRF rankings 2017. (7th position after all IITs). Mechanical engineering is not really good in terms of placements at VIT university except the main campus(Vellore)but you can study it in Vellore as many core companies are coming for recruitment.
So you need not worry about it. The only thing is you need to decide whether you can pay the category 3 fees at VIT University ( around Rs 4 -5 lakhs per annum including hostel). I think it is not worthy to pay the much fees and study at VIT.
If you are talented and can study well then you can surely join there. VIT offers many student friendly programmes so that you can gain more knowledge.
You must work hard and try to be better than your counterparts then you can get job with a good salary.
only in Vellore you can study mechanical. if you get other campuses then please don't go. If you get mechanical, then opt only Vellore campus.
All the best!

hello anuj
As a civil engineer, you will have to plan out, design and supervise the construction of different types of buildings. You need to posses good knowledge of mathematics and Science. Also, you must also have good supervisory and administrative skills.
Furthermore, you must be ready to sweat it out at construction sites and even work under stressful and hostile conditions. And if you think you fit the bill then civil engineering is the right profession for you.
There is huge demand for civil engineers in India and it is also expected to get a boost as the country gets ready to upgrade its infrastructure with growing economic and political clout in the world. The career opens a lot of opportunities in numerous government departments. Civil engineers are employed in all major construction projects carried out by central and state government agencies.
