The college is really good, and I really like it, but the population is too high.

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.

This is best in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Faculty: The faculty of this college was very helpful and knowledgeable. They make the hard concept very easy. The teaching quality was also good. The course curriculum provided by the university was quite difficult for the students. It makes the students industry-ready. There were many exams organized every year so that the students could perform well in their sessional examinations.

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.

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.

Faculty members, classes, library, hostel, mess food, ambulance services, and everything are good.

Faculty: Teachers are definitely helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Definitely semester exams are a bit tough compared to other colleges. Most of the senior lecturers have doctorates in their stream. The best part is that we can select teachers for most of the subjects, and we can also make a timetable for ourselves.
