B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2029

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.

It does not support sports or other activities.

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.

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. They made us bloom like a flower by providing the required known worth of the fee that we are paying.

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.

Disappointed because of placements and internship but really good facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: Placements are below average and around 3 LPA-4 LPA is considered a dream offer. Not many people are getting placed (around 50 out of 270) and it's not that many technical jobs but some are business-related. As for internship it's not provided for this course by the college.

Infrastructure: College classrooms are very nice, properly clean, lit, and sound. Every facility is top-notch. Hostels are the same, everything from beds, cupboards, food, mess, and amenities is very good. The library is one of the best in the country. The college puts a lot of effort into maintaining its standard yearly.

Faculty: Faculty members are very nice, well-educated, and have proper knowledge. The course curriculum is updated every 2-3 years to stay relevant with the current job market and is good. Exams are not that hard if you study properly and the pass rate is usually around 95 percent.

Other: I chose this course since I could learn job-relevant knowledge without the rat race and unnecessary competition of JEE. Considering that, it has been very good so far. There isn't much that can be improved but providing internship opportunities would be a great step for BCA. The campus also hosts some of the best events in the country like Gravitas and Riveria. They also provide merit-based awards and scholarships for students.
