Review of VIT

Vit is good for me and that's it, the college life is bad, we might get a good education but rampant sexism and nothing we can do about it. If anyone tries to speak up against the admins we will be kicked out.

The course curriculum is very relevant for mechanical engineering, especially for energy students as it is an upcoming industry today. It is regularly updated. Almost every course has an optional industry visit. They always teach us industry-relevant things, placements for mech isn't that great.

VIT boasts high placements but most of them are boring IT jobs. The placements for mechanical are there but the quality is not good. We are required to do an industrial internship. If we wish to do an internship in the last semester the college does provide some help.

There are 2 big events gravitas and riviera. Gravitas is the technical fest that sees a lot of technical competitions, workshops, events, talks, etc. It goes on for 3 days, but workshops start 3-4 weeks earlier. Riviera is one of the biggest cultural fests in India it has pro shows, many events, and fun activities for everyone.

The fee depends on your rank in the entrance exam, there are 5 categories, category 1 being the cheapest. Category 5 is expensive, the better hostel rooms the more expensive they are. Fee transparency isn't there at all. VIT is a money-making machine and that's all they care about.

I did not opt for a scholarship, no scholarship exists from the college side, they do inform us about some scholarships available from 3rd parties

Campus Life is extremely bad, the people that attend this college are extremely backward racist, sexist people. There are no parties and no fun in VIT due to the Administration. If you are sitting with a girl you will get whistled at by PDA guards. There is some diversity but no Indians interact with foreign students as the college is made like this, the Chinese and Africans are put in different hostels and different classes we have almost no interactions with them. Social life is 0. The administration is extremely bad and thinks that talking to girls is bad. The gender ratio is very bad about 20:1. In some mechanical classes no girls at all. In my course out of 120 people maybe 5 girls

There are many hostel rooms, they are pretty strict inside with an intime of 9:30 for boys and 8:30 for girls. The rules are extremely sexist the hostel wardens are always moral policing the girls. The girls have to live in agony. If you want to leave the hostel for a few nights you need permission from your parents even if you're a married 25-year-old master's student.

Seniors are very helpful. They help with studies and almost anything you need. Never had any experience with alumni

Got the admission by writing the entrance exam in the months of April may, after your rank comes out you have to go to one of the campuses for counseling to select your course and rooms. After that, your admission is confirmed and in the next few weeks can complete the documentation required.

Some professors are really bad and in fact, I know more than them in some courses. But we do have lecturers who are really good have an up to date industry-relevant knowledge, some of them are doing research work of their own. They help us if we would like to do any research.
