Anurima Chakraborty's Review On Visvesvaraya National Institute Of Technology - [VNIT], Nagpur

The course, location, convenience and obviously because it is a NIT. The course offered was something I wanted. It was located in Maharashtra and my home is also there so travelling back home was easy. I knew hindi and english which is prominent and made it convenient to communicate.

Course and curriculum wise it is backward and can be improved. It needs to be made upto date with current scenarios. Smart teaching is there but more experience teaching is needed. Faculties some are good but some are lazy.

Architecture students do not have much campus placements as only 2-3 companies visit. However for engineering companies like L&T, Reliance, Godrej, Vedanta, pepsico etc come for placements. Around 70% students are placed. Many start ups have been there like cocreato, Prayaas etc.

Axis is technical fest which is central Asia's biggest technical fest. We have talks, seminars, workshops etc for this. Aarohi is the cultural fest. It had many competitions, stalls etc. Very nice way for students to mingle. Not limited to just VNIT students. Institute gathering is a department level competition. Here all departments compete for institude champion. It is a ten day even ranging from sports to dance to singing etc. Consortium is a buisness event where management related competions, seminars etc are held.

Good infrastructure. However books and information resources in Architecture is not sufficient compared to the students present. The campus is big and kept clean. A lot of building have been renovated too.

Yes. For girls there are two hostels in campus. For boys there are 5-6 hostels in campus. Old girls hostel is however not taken cared enough. Main facilities like gym, reading room etc are available in the new hostel but old hostel students are not allowed to use it after in time. Common shared washrooms are there.

The college takes admission on the basis of JEE MAINS and for NRI the SAT marks. I gave the SAT2 in 2014 and scored well enough to get into the college in the first round itself.
