Extremely satisfied with the college.

Review by batch 2025 passout.

Placements: About 80% students were placed in our 2025 batch. The highest package was around 1 Cr, and the lowest around 1-2 LPA, and the average must be around 5 LPA. ION Group, Accenture, TCS, and Cognizant were the companies with the highest recruitment on campus. SWE and Analyst roles were the most offered.

VIT has best event culture.

Placements: Almost all students get placed in their 4th year, those who choose to sit for placements. The highest package goes up to 60 LPA and the lowest goes to 3-4 LPA. It depends on your course and branch. Top companies recruit only a few students, whereas there are mass recruiting companies as well which recruit in bulk. 60-70% of students get internships; the rest apply for off-campus internships.

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

Placements: Its my first year in VIT. I chose these college mainly because of their placement records. It is pretty good compared to other private colleges. I enquired about this with seniors, and they too convey the same that VIT provides good placements. Only if you are 9 pointer you get an opportunity to attend a big MNC that will pay above 20LPA. Otherwise you will not be able to get into such superdream packages.

The campus is mostly nice.

Placements: A lot of people get decent placements, but at the same time, I see a lot of people struggling a lot for internships and job offers, and that concerns me sometimes, but still, a large number of people get decent placements, and if not college placements, then the jobs they look for are also pretty decent.
