3.8
A roller coaster journey in VIT.
Placements: I joined in 2021; it started in online mode due to COVID. But eventually offline classes started after 2 months. Overall, it was a good experience. The labs were well maintained with good equipment.
Many companies visited, like Lapcorp, TCS, Biocon, Syngeneic, and OG Healthcare. Many were placed. It's all up to you how you perform. The grading system is a bit different from the relatively simple grading system that VIT follows.
Infrastructure: Hostels were both affordable and costly. You will get it based on merit, starting from 30k to 2.5 lpa. AC/non AC 1-6 sharing rooms are there. The labs are well-equipped, with plenty of instruments. Good exposure is there. The library is massive, with a large selection of books available for loan by scanning your ID.
Faculty: 3 exams (CAT1, CAT2 and FAT), 2 digital assignments and 2 set projects per semester. All the teachers were qualified and helpful. But some are not that supportive. The course curriculum is a bit difficult; you have to take on pressure to complete all the exams and projects. Pass percentage is average; if you study, you will pass.
Other: VIT is a bit crowded. But hostel life was great. You will get everything. We have Nescafé shops, juice shops, canteens, cake shops and even Domino's inside our campus.

I am satisfied with this college.
Placements: Top recruiting companies like Dr Reddy's laboratories, Novozymes, Biocon, Hindustan Unilever and various reputed pharmaceutical companies visit our college for our course placements. Students can apply for various positions like quality control, quality assurance analyst, R&D and bioinformatics field. There is a huge scope in life science field if you work in the right direction. I just entered into final year and not yet up for the placements so I cannot provide adequate information regarding the packages.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. The library is well-equipped. Wi-Fi facility is available both in the library and in the hostels. A health centre is available right inside the campus. The taste of food varies from mess to mess because all the hostels have their own mess. Gym and other sports facilities are available here.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are friendly and approachable. They are well-qualified with a PhD degree and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good, and there should be two-way interaction. Teachers are doing their jobs perfectly so we should do our part too for fruitful results. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready because every semester we do several projects and gain the working experience of the same and get to present our work. Biosummit and other conferences are conducted where students can directly interact with the industry experts.
Other: Every year fest named Riviera is conducted at our college, which is one of the biggest fests across the country. Various clubs are available to conduct extracurricular activities.

A place to learn and a chance to grow.
Placements: This institute is known for 100% placements while it is true in the case of engineering students. For us, life science students, the guarantee of getting placed is very little. In our case biotech companion and some educational institutes came for placements which were diverged from our line of field. These companies offered a package of 3-5 lacs per annum.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is excellent with all the facilities of Wi-Fi, smart class, advanced laboratories and a library. The fully flexible curriculum system (FFCS) and wide ranges of courses helped students with diverse interests. Hostel rooms are really good and spacious with all kinds of indoor games and bad gym facilities.
Faculty: All the faculty possess PhD degrees and are highly qualified for the undertaken course. The curriculum here is very flexible which helps the students to manage their time with extra curricular activities. Both indoor and outdoor sports facilities are offered with professional trainers. Final semester of our course was in an industry which gave us industrial exposure. We also had a few industrial visits.

This is a place to learn, providing a chance to grow.
Placements: VIT is known for its 100% placements, and this is true in the case of engineering, but for other science courses, it is not true. A very few companies visit the college for the recruitment of science students. There were no placements for our senior batch. A few companies visited the college for our batch, but they were not relevant to the courses. Some pharmaceuticals and educational institutes visited the college to offer placements. The placement cell functions in an excellent way in which it makes sure that most of the students get placed in the college placements.
Infrastructure: There are both normal and smart classrooms with projector screens and blackboards. The smart classes are coming up from 2017. The laboratory facilities are excellent with all equipment and instruments needed for any experiment or projects. The labs are spacious and well-maintained. The library is one of the best found in VIT. Indoor and outdoor sports, courts, fields, and tracks are present. A medical centre and ambulance are available 24*7 for any emergency. Hostel rooms are well-maintained, and there are both AC and non-AC rooms.
Faculty: All the faculty members are PhD holders. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable. Faculty members have their own labs to do the advanced studies in their area of research. We have fully flexible curriculum system (FFCS) in our college, and not many colleges have this system. This system is a plus point to us as it gives us the liberty to choose the course of interest, faculty and also the time of the classes.
Other: A cultural fest named Riviera and a tech fest named Gravitas shoot out wide opportunities for the students to build their careers.

The syllabus is to the point and we'll illustrated. There is a scheduled time given to meet the teacher outside of class hours to solve doubts related to academics of their subject. Regular conduction of exams ensures that the students study regularly and the marks are graded via CGPA system. The students are encouraged to take up semester wise projects. These are then evalutaed and presented in the annual set conference. Plays a huge role in building the students confidence and enhances scientific thinking.
Other: There are infinite number of student clubs and organizations, and if it still does't suit your taste, you are at the liberty to form your own club. The annual fest - Riveria is the biggest cultural fest in college of four days and famous singers, comedians and a few actors make appearances to entertain the students. "Gravitas" is another annual fest where children /students show off their skills pertaining to academics or dance/singing. It hosts a variety of food joints and fun games.
