I've always wanted to become a software engineer. So I wrote JEE MAINS and passed the exam with an average rank. Then I had to apply for INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY in VSSUT through OJEE counseling. After that I had to report to the college on a particular date which is decided by the college. After proper verification of all the documents, I got admitted.

The faculties are really good. Most of them are holding PhD and M. Tech degrees. They are really helpful. They focus on each and every student and try to help them in every way possible. They are bit strict with studies too.
