VIT hosts World Engineering Education Forum 2019

November 14, 2019: The 9th World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF) 2019 was inaugurated at Chennai on November 14. This prestigious event, hosted by the VIT University Chennai - Vellore Institute of Technology took place for the first time in India. The Conference Theme this year was “Disruptive Engineering Education for Sustainable Development”. The event witnessed participation of people across domains such as engineers, teachers, leaders, students, businessmen, and people from government and non-government organisations. All the participants came together at WEEF, the world's largest technology learning activity in the world, to learn about, discuss and create productive, long-term partnerships. The conference's focus was "Sustainable Technology Learning".

Founder and Chancellor, VIT, Dr G Viswanathan delivered the presidential address. Executive Director, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Dr Michael Milligan was invited as the chief guest for the event.

Dr G Viswanathan said closing down engineering colleges would not be a wise move, especially at a time when the Prime Minister of India wanted to double the Gross Enrolment Ratio in Higher Education in India from 26 per cent at present to 50 per cent in the next six years. Stating that India had 3,309 engineering colleges with an annual intake of 1.6 million seats, he also said that the enrolment was coming down by about 80,000 every year. He said the national regulatory body – the All India Council for Technical Education, wanted to close down about 800 colleges.

A great campus, AC labs, library, skilled faculty, clubs, and manageable exams.

Placements: Almost 80 to 90 percent of people got placed. The rest are those with backlogs and arrears. Everyone got placed in good companies starting from an average salary package of 7 LPA. Super dream offers came for people with good CGPA and good skills (CGPA above 9+). This course requires the person to have more skills because it is mechanical and electronics. So without skills, you won't be considered as good. The lowest package went up to 3 LPA to 5 LPA.

Not a bad college. You can join it if you want to gain exposure.

Placements: VIT Chennai is a very good college. It offers very good placements. I think the median package is around 9 LPA, so it offers good value for money. Even average students can get good placements. Around 80% of the students get placed. The highest package is 1.25 crore, and the lowest package is 3.4 LPA.

Overall, it is a bad college. Be wise.

Placements: Almost every student gets placed, but the package varies. Hardly any high-paying roles are offered. Most students get placed in mass recruiting companies. Shortlisting is random as well, so students should not keep high expectations for college placements. They need to work hard for off-campus opportunities.

Overall, the college is good with decent campus life, but it is overcrowded.

Placements: Almost 80–90 percent of the students who applied for placements got placed last year, mostly through mass recruiters. They offer around 4–6 LPA. The highest package in my course was 44 LPA, and the lowest was around 3 LPA. Companies like Whirlpool, ABB, Honeywell, and Alstom are top recruiters. Almost everyone here gets an internship offer by the 3rd year, either via college or outside. Because it consists of credit which is necessary to complete the degree.

Excellent in academics, extracurricular activities, and culturals.

Placements: Above 95 percent of students got placed. There are more than 500 companies with top packages. Every student finds a new job where they can stand up with their knowledge gained and their own skills and talents. They gain more experience and they can also survive in the future.

Review about VIT: A place to learn and a chance to grow.

Placements: I am from Integrated M.Tech software engineering. VIT has not only been a place to learn and grow but also taught me how to dream big, think outside the box, and showcase my event. VIT has always been known for its vibrant culture and tremendous academic excellence. The placements in Vit are very strong and around 90 percent of students get a job after finishing the degree which is phenomenal. Additionally students also get placed in companies like Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Deloitte, and other d...
