The college is really good, and I really like it, but the population is too high.
Placements: Around 50% of students are placed, with the highest package around 25 LPA and the lowest at 3.5 LPA for Mechanical Engineering. Top recruiters are Amazon and Google, very few people got internships in companies like Boeing, Caterpillar, Tata, etc. Top roles offered are mechanical engineering trainee, area manager, etc.
Infrastructure: Labs are really good, world-class labs. Classrooms are very good but had no AC. It had a 3-floor library with almost all kinds of books. Hostel was good, with different kinds of mess, sports room, badminton court, gym, common area, etc., with AC rooms. Medical facilities were also good, as it is combined with Apollo.
Faculty: Teachers are very highly qualified, and the teaching quality is good. Course relevance is medium, it is not completely bad nor completely good. Semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is above 60%. The first internal is normal, while the second internal is an open book exam. Overall, it is a good college.
Other: Fest, campus, and extracurricular activities, everything is brilliant.

The food is difficult to habituate for people from the Telugu state.
Placements: On average, 50-60% of the students get placed every year. The highest package will be around 60-70 LPA. Almost every main development company visits this college for internships and placements. The students who get selected for internships have a higher chance of getting placed.
Infrastructure: Every hostel will have separate Wi-Fi systems. Students will be allowed to change their mess option each month. Dhobi service will be provided three times a month. Only labs will have air conditioning. Normal classrooms do not have air conditioning. Not all the facilities are good here.
Faculty: VIT conducts exams in a very strict and mannered way. It is very hard for an average student to survive in this college. Not all faculty will teach well. Only 1 out of 10 will be a good teacher. There will be 2 mid-semester and one final exam per semester.
Other: I took the core Computer Science and Engineering course at this college. I took this course because I was interested in this side of engineering rather than the electrical and mechanical side.

Amazing social life with amazing faculty and average placements.
Placements: In my batch, we have just started our placement training, and so far everything is very useful and informative, but with our passed out students, most of them get placed at an average salary package because of minimal opportunities to appear in final interviews.
Infrastructure: The course and infrastructure with classrooms and labs are top-notch, but with hostels, it's not the same thing. Hostel rooms are very crammed and less spacious. Mainly with hostel food, a lot of students get sick very frequently, and the washrooms don't have proper functioning most of the time around campus.
Faculty: The teachers in our college are highly qualified and very helpful. Their teaching style varies depending on the student, and they do not force us to adapt to their teaching style. The course keeps us ready to survive in the job market and industry. Also, about the semester exams, you can't say it's hard, but you can only score if you study the concepts and the core of the subject with understanding.
Other: The best thing about our college is the social life. We have a variety of clubs and associations in our college, which will help you develop your social skills, learn new experiences, and also help you meet new people and learn about new cultures.

The college is good, strict and academically good.
Placements: Placements are nice. There are super dream packages that are above 10 LPA. The dream package offered is above 8 LPA. If we have a good CGPA and technical skills, we will easily crack good placements. Nearly all students get placements with decent packages.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice. It has good condition grounds. All types of sports grounds are available. Classrooms are good. It has projectors, speakers, and well-maintained washrooms. Wi-Fi is not available in classrooms. Labs are well maintained and all instruments are top-notch. Computers are high-end.
Faculty: Faculty members are PhD holders so there is no doubt of teaching. The course curriculum is updated and of the latest requirements. There are 3 exams conducted CAT 1, CAT 2, and FAT with 3 DAs. Exams are of 50 marks for both CATs, 100 marks for FAT, and DA of 30 marks each so CAT exam marks are converted into 15%, and 15% percent DA of 100%, and FAT marks into 40%. Then the addition will sum up our marks and depending on the class average our grade will be graded and according to that CGPA will be generated.
Other: There is diversity of students so we will get well-connected.
