I said all about my university, and now you have to pay me up.
Placements: I genuinely have no idea about the current highest package, but I know something about the average for my course, it is 9 LPA. That’s what I know, and companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Google, and others, are like the top, but the placements are average only.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is so good that you cannot even download a PDF, as the classrooms are hot and burning people every day in the summer. Only a few fans are available. Labs are good, but the real deal is to manage the food and bulking up because the quality is good and the quantity is bad, and it’s the inverse in the other mess.
Faculty: Copying is possible in the exams. Itis not a good college for non-copying average students. Semester exams are not that hard, like JEE or NEET questions, but manageable. We have to do other projects and stuff at the same pace as the exams too. Teachers are mid. The curriculum has no connection with jobs.

VIT has the best opportunities to grow in life.
Placements: Only 1 student got placed last year. The highest, the lowest, and the average package offered are the same, i.e., 14 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Hindustan Unilever and Reliance hire students from the college. 99 percent of students get internships, as it is compulsory here. Top roles offered are process engineer and plant manager after years of experience.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of hostels is excellent. It offers the best hostel, medium food, and good Wi-Fi. Gaming is not that easy with Wi-Fi, but it gets the job done. There are many games like table tennis, badminton, swimming, football, cricket, squash, and volleyball.
Faculty: All faculty members are PhD holders. In our department, most of the faculty members are from IITs. Their teaching quality is the best. Students become industry-ready as they have to do internships compulsorily. Guest lectures happen often, and at least 14 to 15 times a year. End-semester exams are dependent on the faculty members we take. Chances of getting a backlog in a subject are quite low, as we have a chance to make up for it once.

VIT is a good college that gives you a lot of exposure.
Placements: There's a good placement rate. The highest package is 26 LPA (top UG management offer). The average package is 4.5 LPA-6 LPA, and the lowest or starting package is 2.5 LPA to 3 LPA. Recruiting companies are Amazon, TCS, Cognizant, and HCL Technologies. 90 percent of students get internships here. Roles offered are Business Analyst, and Marketing Executive.
Infrastructure: Facilities and the infrastructure of my campus are very good, but the Wi-Fi is kind of slow, which is quite an issue, rest of it is also fine. The hostel facilities are good, but the mess can be an issue for students who are living in the hostels.
Faculty: Faculty here are well qualified and knowledgeable with years of experience. Classes here are very interactive and informative. It also makes the student gain confidence for placement. 80-90 percent is the approximate pass percentage, maybe it can vary.

Possible companies like Chargebee, Sify Technologies, Pyramidion Solutions, Microsoft, Worth Solutions, etc., visit the college for placements.
Infrastructure: Courses are isolated from one another, even with their academic blocks, but students are united by the hostel accommodation and events like fests and cultural events, which are organised once a year. Interests in sports and other activities other than studies are not supported.
Faculty: Faculty members are not only specialised in concepts like operating systems, database management, and programming, but also well known for courses like data science, machine learning, and everything.

An overall review of VIT Vellore.
Placements: As of the 2026 batch, 40 percent of students got successfully placed in core companies, and the remaining are either getting internships or are still waiting for placements. Top roles offered are embedded systems, VLSI, design roles, or software/IT. Internships are provided by colleges, but most students go off campus to get internships themselves.
Infrastructure: All labs have AC, and most hostels have AC too. Getting an AC hostel is purely based on CGPA. The library is a three-floor building with all kinds of academic resources. Classrooms are nice and comfy. It is big enough to accommodate at least 70-75 students.
Faculty: All teachers of all branches are highly qualified and helpful with all sorts of research. They will always be there to provide us with the required resources. The course curriculum is relevant and to the point. There are two sets of mid-semester exams of 50 marks, and one end-semester of 100 marks, along with assignments and quizzes, ensuring thorough preparation.
Other: There are multiple technical fests and fun fests organised all year round. The exposure through these fests is great and helpful to grow technical and build social and industry connections.

Review of VIT Vellore main campus (A small city).
Placements: The placements for Bachelor's of Computer Application are not that good. Some students get very good packages like more than 20 LPA but most students do not get more than 3 LPA. If you want a good placement you need to study yourself. So if you are coming work on your skill.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. They provide everything but it is very crowded. You have to compete for everything. The classes and labs are good. About the hostel, food is average, the hostel is good, and the sports facilities in the hostel are also good.
Faculty: The faculty of the college is average. Some are very good, but some are bad. The curriculum is not the best but it is better than many other private colleges. They try to update the curriculum to what is required to learn in the current tech market but they can do better.
