The college is not just limited to academics but also in overall personal development.

Placements: Since in our 4th semester, we will be carrying out our project work. Most of the students get to work in companies like Anthem Biosciences, Novozymes and Merck. A certain proportion of students get to work in universities also. Students passing out get placed in prominent companies in places like Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college provides good facilities like Wi-Fi, library, classrooms and labs. The campus provides a very holistic environment. Facilities offered in the mess could be refined a bit more, and uniform guidelines are followed with regard to different caterers. Ample importance is given to extracurricular activities like sports, and healthy competition between students is promoted.

Faculty: The university has a very sophisticated approach to teaching. The course curriculum is structured in such a way that it consists of equal proportions of theoretical and practical components to provide students with an overview of the mode of action from industrial setups.

Other: I heard about VIT when I was looking out for universities where I could pursue my masters, and I was told that it is a good place in terms of exposure provided and overall development. The best thing about the course is the number of projects that we get to work on, and it helps us to gain hands-on experience in terms of carrying out research work. Events are conducted elaborately and extravagantly for providing students with a very memorable experience.
