Placements: I think around 80 to 90 percent are getting placed in my course, actually. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Microsoft, and Virtusa. The highest packages are around 30 to 40 LPA, and the lowest are around 4 to 6 LPA. Placement competition is very high, so I gave only 4 stars.
Placements: This is the main thing to consider, whether to join the institute or not. As of 2026, placements in VIT are average, but if you are a hard worker and you can stand in this big crowd, you can definitely get a good placement. Coming to the highest package, it's 1 crore by Motorq and the lowest I can say 3.46 by TCS for the ninja category. Most companies recruit for Software Developer roles and then Data Analyst roles, and some AI engineer roles.
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.
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.
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.
Placements: Companies around Chennai, Bangalore, and Vellore offer part-time internships and full-time job offers in their organisations with suitable pay based on the skills and experience acquired. Possible companies like Chargebee, Sify Technologies, Pyramidion Solutions, Microsoft, Worth Solutions, etc., visit the college for placements.
