VIT Vellore Answered Questions

Civil engineering in VIT is a good option. Faculties are decent and the opportunities of projects are also as per standards of good engineering colleges. However, the problem with civil engineering is that it is literally a dying field. Don't ever anticipate that after 3-4 years, there will be any progress in this field because no matter how many infrastructural projects come up, the intake of civil engineers in core jobs will be same. I don't know why it's that way. Talking about placements in the civil dept. of VIT, it's downright poor. About 30-40%. The best company that recruits from VIT is L&T construction. However, you'll have to be in the top 40s for it. Godrej Properties gives good package, however, their intake is less than 5. Tata housing, Saint Gobain are other 2 core firms that recruited last year but they too have a meagre intake and pay package. If you want to go for higher studies then you might take up civil in VIT. It is mainly about field work and you have to be very focused in your work site also.

VIT, Vellore accepts admission only through VITEEE.

Hello Abhishek,
All these three universities are the top colleges for CSE. But in terms of rankings, VIT University tops the list. While SRM University ranks second and Manipal Institute of Technology is at the third.
So my preference order would be :
1) VIT University, Vellore
2) SRM University main campus
3) Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal.
You may refer the links below for the complete list of placements :

I might have missed a few companies.
The highest package of this year was from West Line Ship Management (21.6 LPA). I don't know how the placements are there in IIT'sand NIT's for mechanical but here in VIT, these are the companies visited this year till now. I hope few more companies may join in this list at the end of this 2016 academic year because still one more semester is there to complete this academic year.
NOTE: All these above-mentioned companies had taken in single digit numbers (min 1- max 10) and package ranging (3LPA-12LPA)
In simple words, companies do come, it's up to you to get placed.

First of all, let me make it clear to my fellow students that VIT, Pune is indeed Vishwakarma Institute of Technology and not Vellore Institute of Technology. Now coming to the question, both of these colleges are pretty good in terms of the quality of education they provide. Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) was specially founded for imparting education in computer science and IT. It provides only three courses in B.Tech which are computer engineering, electronics and telecommunication and information technology while VIT provides degrees in almost all conventional branches. Talking about academics, PICT has an edge when it comes to CSE and IT. I have some friends pursuing IT there who confirmed upon this. The quality of education is pretty good. VIT also is a well-reputed college and has a high demand for CSE and IT. Apart from that, VIT is known for its extra curricular activities and campus life as such. I would suggest going through the syllabus of both the colleges and taking into consideration factors like location, campus, and future goals before making a decision. Best of luck!

VIT is one of the top ranked Private universities in India and it provide the placements around 90-100% and the maximum of the students get the average package from 4.5-60 LPA.
If we talk about the placement in last year i.e in 2016Packages given for mechanical engineers from VIT was moderate. I wouldn't say it is too high either. The placement percentage was around 94, which is a good number.
The highest package in the year 2016 was 22.6 L which was by West line ship management. The average package offered was 6.3 L, which is a reasonable amount.
These are the list of companies which recruited mechanical engineers in the year 2016
Fiat, Chrystler, Hyundai, Ford, Hexagon, Ashyi Glass, Seagate, Caterpillar, Maruti, L&T, Whirlpool, Renault, Nissan, Mahindra, Honeywell, Cummins, IFB, GMC, Hero Motocop , MRF, Cognizant.
The highest package is given only to one or two students who are extraordinary and have the full knowledge and passion about their BRANCH rest all are average student. So, please do not get attracted by the highest package just because usually MECHANICAL engineers do get this package because it is the core branch but only to those who is best in that field.
