Entrance Preview
VIT has it's own entrance exam for MCA. The exam was fairly simple but highly competitive. There was no negative marking.
Placement Experience
The general remuneration was around 3.3 lakhs. Most of the major IT companies like Infosys, CTS, Capgemini, Accenture came for Campus Recruitment. Big companies like Intel Through. Good, Amazon also hired students from VIT. I think almost everyone from my class was placed in one company or the other.
College Events
We used to have a big annual celebration called Rivera and college used to be shut down for a week. Also, there was small fest that would happen all year-round.
Fees and Financial Aid
I didn't avail of any loan facility. However, most of the students have taken a study loan from different banks.
Campus Life
Campus Life was very well rounded. You got enough time to play and study. The library was well stocked and the staff was generally cordial. Though, the college was strict when it came to guys and girls hanging out. There were strict enough to not let a girl and a guy walk hand in hand. It was literally impossible to get a hotel room for a VIT student in town and outside of it.
Hostel Facilities
Hostels were top notch. There was a north Indian mess and a south Indian mess and an international mess. So we were spoilt for choices. Hostel charges were close to Rs. 60000 for a year and this included food and an AC single room.
Alumni/Alumna
Didn't have much interaction with Alumni. Never needed to. I was very well placed and have gone onto making great strides in my career by myself. College seniors as well were cooperative but we didn't have much interaction with them.
Exam Structure
The exam structure is very well designed. We have 2 or 3 sessionals and a final semester exam. Your overall performance is derived from these. Also, the class assignments are taken into consideration for the overall grade. It's easy to get a 9 point CGPA in VIT. However, anything over 9 requires a major effort.
Faculty
The faculty was top notch, most of the professors were Ph.D. holder and very well published. All of the professors had industry experience and were cordial towards the students.
