What Students Say

Likes

The campus and infrastructure,curriculum and campus life

Dislikes

Cost of life in vit is too high for normal middle class

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I choose computer science for my interest in data science and artificial intelligence. The number of students is quite large compared to the faculty there is no shortage though. 90%of the faculty have a doctorate degree teaching is decent, and there is three exam cat 1, cat 2and fat which is the final exam.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 450000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Almost all students get placed atleast in cs dept there isn't a lot of core companies you are eligible since 3rd year end especially if you are a 9.0 pointer they are give priority in placements the highest go upto 64l and average is around 7.

Fees and Financial Aid

The cost to study depends on which category you get In which again depends on how well you did in vitee and your rank .there is scholarship for state first ,there is lot of hope for internships and jobs are given from 3rd year on.

Campus Life

There is two annual fest techno vit, vibrance each with tree day period, they are largely organized by students. VIT has a great library and all the books you need are there in the library or provided as pdf by your professors. The classrooms are moderately not air-conditioned there is a projector. There are a lot of existing clubs for dance, hacking, robotics, etc.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are moderate at best and I won't recommend it food is okay but there are monkeys inside the hostel you are not allowed to leave without a huge process even for just an hour. There was a PG tata home but due to recent events it was closed and a rule of vit students not allowed to stay out has been imposed.

Hostel Fee: INR 180000 per year

Admission

You have to apply and write the VITEE and entrance exam with a minimum of 75% in 12th boards no reservations of any kind were provided. The entire application process is online with an application fee of 1500 .exams are written offline though in the nearest VIT.

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.

Placement Training and Career development at CIT

Likes

In my college , I experienced diversed equality and gained more knowledge by training staffs and assessments

Placement Experience:

One thing I really need to appreciate at CIT is its placement training program. The placement team conducts regular sessions on 1. aptitude 2. coding 3. communication skills 4. group discussions and 5. interview preparation which helped me feel more confident during placements. The trainers were friendly and always encouraged us to improve our skills step by step. They provide continuous guidance and feedback throughout the training process. Mock interviews and one to one assessments helped me to understand my strength and weak areas and I work on improvements . These sessions not only improved my technical and communication skills but also boosted my confidence . The placement training team played an important role in preparing me for career opportunities and industry expectation

My insights on Vit Chennai

I applied for very less college.since my cut off was low the possibility of me getting any Anna university affiliated colleges were less. So i wrote entrance exam for Amrita University and Vit. I did get Amrita but felt Vit had better exposure. They were lot of reasons as to why I chose this college. Of most the colleges I searched this had mechanical with specialisation courses. Doing a minor in something will make me a step ahead of every other mechanical engineer. I also compared the curriculum with many institutions,this was far by the best with perfect exposure. They have variety of other non graded courses to help me focus on my hobbies and interest. Their tie ups with many foreign institutions and industries will be an advantage for me if I use it in the right way. Again the only way of getting into Vit is through their entrance exam VITEEE. Since my cut off was low I had to rely on these entrance exams. Based on the rank obtained in the entrance we will be allocated a counselling phase and through that we can choose our respective course....Read More
