A BRIEF OF VIT VELLORE

I always had an interest in Computer Science and also looking at the placement stats, I chose this branch. The student-to-faculty ratio is quite good despite the huge crowd of students. There are approx 60 students in a class, which is decent and manageable. Most of the faculty are Ph.D. holders in their respective fields and most of them are good at their job and have a good experience. Apart from the first month, we have assessments almost every month throughout the semester. They are generally of moderate difficulty level and can be passed with one night of study, but require consistent efforts for a good score.
