VIT Chennai in 2026 worth it or not.

Infrastructure: Overall facilities are really good. In the hostel the infrastructure is good except the Wi-Fi which is very slow and it is turned off after 12:00 AM till 4:00-5:00 AM. If anything needs to be repaired in your room. You just need to put the complaint on the website and within a few hours a technician will come and fix your issue. There are so many restrictions in the hostel. You have to be inside the hostel building before 9:00 PM and you can't play table tennis after 9:00 PM as it may disturb ot...

Review by batch 2025 passout.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi goes out after 12 A.M. Food quality was based on how much money you are willing to pay. The library was congested during exam times. Classrooms were okayish. Quality of facilities were 7-10, you have to find your own good faculty members to get good grades. Good canteen for snacks.

Fear of getting placed relatively low in grading. Good infrastructure.

Infrastructure: I am a day scholar, here the hostel life is good compared to that of day scholars. Hostellers get to attend events that will regularly happen on the campus. Many events are conducted at night. Day scholars will leave the campus by 5 pm. We cant able attend campus events that take place at night. Hostels are good. Classrooms are decent, and the lab is good. Central library is one of the best places on the campus where we can get Wi-Fi at a very high speed and is fully air conditioned.

The campus is mostly nice.

Infrastructure: The quality of food in the mess differs a lot, both good and bad, and the internet quality is very bad most of the time. The course is overall fine, though just sometimes there are errors in the systems. Still, that is not very common, but once I had an exam and I was unable to login to the portals for a decent amount of time, although I was given extra time after that.

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

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.

The food is difficult to habituate for people from the Telugu state.

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.

Amazing social life with amazing faculty and average placements.

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.
