VIT Chennai in 2026 worth it or not.

Placements: VIT Chennai make sure that every student will get placed. So the placement is 100 percent but there is a cache. If your CGPA is below 8, then you will get placed at low packages like 3.5 LPA. If you are lucky then maybe you will get above 6 LPA. Your grades are much more important in this college than your skill. Many companies will give you above 20 LPA package if your CGPA is 8.5 or above.

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 other students.

Faculty: Academic pressure is really high in VIT. In one semester you have to give 3 exams. In one of the exams they ask you to bring your handwritten notes in the exam but the exam is really tough so it is barely helpful. There is a relatively strict grading system so there is a huge competition among students. Class average is really important to get good grades. If you are a category 5 student then you have extra pressure to get good marks as you have literally paid more than 25 lakhs for 4 years.

Other: The course is good except for a few courses which are not necessary to be included like Indian studies.

To know more about VIT Chennai.

Placements: Placement is decent for CSE-related branches. The median and average are around 9-10 LPA. Meanwhile, for core branches, it's around 7-8 LPA. During the recession, it might have been a bit low, but it's above average compared to other private institutions, and thus you can consider joining.

Infrastructure: Hostel and mess quality are very good. There are some rules and restrictions, but it's for students' own good. In-time is around 9 PM for boys and 8 PM for girls, and the food quality is above average. It's good compared to other colleges and has varieties for veg and non-veg.

Faculty: Faculty members are mixed, but most of them are good and helpful. Exams might be somewhat hectic on the other hand, as you will have to be consistent in daily studies to maintain a good GPA. There are two types of exams: 1) 2 CATs (Continuous Assessment Test) of 50 each, and 2) 1 FAT (Final Assessment Test) of 100 marks.

Other: There are mostly daily events, and exposure is very good. If you're an extrovert, you're in heaven. Fests are also good. There are two types of fests: 1) Technical Fest TechnoVIT and 2) Cultural Fest Vibrance.

Extremely satisfied with the college.

Placements: Mostly 50% of the students will get placed in my course. The highest package offered in our course is 33 LPA by Amazon and PayPal, and the lowest package is 2.5 LPA by TCS. 50% of the students get internships from our course from more companies that offer software engineer and developer roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is far better than that of other colleges. The campus is clean and green. There are more security measures in place, and the library is spacious with many useful books for the students. There are also many blocks of hostels, which are very convenient for the students who stay in them.

Faculty: The faculty members in our college are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They are very helpful, and they teach us properly. We can ask doubts whenever we need. They help us with our projects, develop our skills, and guide us in publishing papers and patents.

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.

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.

Faculty: Teachers were helpful and qualified. The course curriculum was relevant, and you can choose the subjects you want in your 3rd and 4th years. Exams were not that difficult if you have all the resources to read and learn from, and if you write an ample amount of answers, you will get marks.

Infrastructure: We have 5 academic blocks and one admin block - AB1, AB2, AB3, AB4, AB5. All blocks have classrooms and labs along with an amphitheater and staff rooms. We have a library that is open throughout the day and night, also till 12. Apart from this, we have many food courts as well, like Gazebo, North Square, Gym Khana, Hunger, and Domino's. Hostel blocks A, B, C, D1, and D2 all have mess included.

Faculty: The difficulty level of every exam depends on your course and branch. We have CAT1 and CAT2 (50 marks each with 15 marks weightage) as internal exams and one FAT exam (100 marks with 40 marks weightage). For internals, we have quizzes, group projects, assignments, and all. The faculty members prepare you for placement level as well as for your higher education.

Other: VIT has the best event culture. They celebrate all religious and cultural festivals. The cultural fest VIBRANCE and the tech fest TechnoVit are also great. The campus is all lit with lights and decorations. The best time to make memories with your friends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Faculty: Mostly, teachers are great, but there are two teachers who don't assist with doubts properly or just read the presentations of the course and don't explain them properly, but mostly they are pretty helpful and provide all the nice references to materials.

Other: I chose my course because I thought that it had a lot of demand in the market, and the events are pretty decent over here, just sometimes they can feel a bit pricy.
