Very satisfied with the facilities they provide, and the teachers are teaching very well.
Placements: More than 80 percent of students are placed in my course. The highest package is Rs. 1,50,000, the average is Rs. 1,00,000, and the lowest is Rs. 75,000. The top recruiting companies for my course are Nestled, Biocon, and Himalaya. Many students got internships in the Biocon company, even abroad. The top roles are research and development.
Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi in the hostel, and the infrastructure is very good in VIT. The library is the best. Hostel facilities are so good, and the food is served very neatly. We have an ambulance for emergencies. We have badminton in our hostel. The hostel is very good, and the hygiene is very good. They have laundry also.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is very good. The course curriculum is so relevant, and they make the students industry-ready. The semester exam is somewhat tough, but the final exam sem is much tougher than the internals. The pass percentage is 60%.

VIT - Vellore, Tamil Nadu review.
Placements: The placement cell is there on our campus for handling all the placement interviews and aptitude training workshops. The highest package is 1 Crore per annum, and the lowest is 30 LPA. And the average package is 50 LPA. Top recruiting companies are like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, etc. About 80-90% of the students get a chance of an internship, and most of them are aware of the real-life problems, so they meet the requirements of the company and get enrolled in the company.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are well furnished, and all necessary equipment like an almirah, wardrobe, table, bed, and chair are there. Classrooms are also loaded with the facilities that are required, and they keep us available as soon as possible. Food quality is impressive as they give both veg and non-veg options on the menu. Games and sports are there in bulk, most of the international player comes from this college only.
Faculty: Teachers are very supportive and helpful. They help in every circumstance of life. Also, the course curriculum is well and good as compared to other private institutions. Semester exams are a little more difficult but easy to crack. About 70-80% students get more than 9.5 CGPA. And a rest above 8 CGPA.
Other: Campus life is very engaging, and we generally have to go through the workshop every day with the industry experts. My experience in this college is awesome, and I want other students to study here as the college offers an overseas study medium for students who pursue a master's degree. The campus crowd is full of engineers and innovators. Fest is held generally in the month of December, at the end of our semester.

Infrastructure and campus life are good.
Placements: I am a fresher; I don't know much, but I will tell you what I know. 50% get placements mostly in tech-based companies like Infosys and all, and we should have a minimum 8.5 CGPA. The package ranges from 3.5 LPA to 26 LPA. We get mostly UI/UX design or automobile design jobs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. I took the H Block hostel apartment type; it is costly but very spacious. Wi-Fi is good, and the food is also good. We have a health center within VIT with a medical shop, and we have a basketball court, badminton court, and all to play. The mess is also neat.
Faculty: Teachers are experienced and teach well. They are friendly, and we are literally like friends with them. The course curriculum has completely changed this year. It is hands-on and drawing, so it's like skill development. I am still in my 1st semester as of now. The assessments were neither hard nor easy, just average, and I don't know the pass percentage.
Other: I love designing and drawing. It is my favorite, and I love it here. There are events and fests, and campus life is great.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good in my college. Library with many books. Wi-Fi is decent, but only in the library and hostels. There are AC and non AC rooms available, and the room you get depends on your CGPA or your roommate CGPA. Food is sometimes good, sometimes not, depending upon what mess you take. We have a volleyball, gym, a tennis table, table tennis, a basketball, a swimming pool, and a big ground for football and cricket.
Faculty: There are 4 main exams conducted. CAT 1, CAT 2, lab fat and fat. Fat is the final exam. CAT 1 and CAT 2 are monthly, and the lab fat is the final exam for lab courses. CAT 2 is open book but the questions are hard. Again, some faculty members are very good, some are not. It really depends upon which faculty you take. There is a FFCS system using which you can decide which faculty to take and which slots in a day to take and customize your timetable.
Other: I chose this course because I was interested in computer Science and engineering, and was fond of computers since childhood.
