Remarks
This college is really good. It provides Joyful Learning. It'll develop you not only as an engineer, but also as a future citizen of the society. You can give time to your hobbies and extra-curricular activities balancing your academics.
Entrance Preview
I qualified MHT-CET exam with 170 marks. This college is the best college after COEP in Pune, so I opt for it. Admission process was a typical process without any interview.
Course Curriculum Overview
Curriculum is a little different than those of Pune University colleges. Actually it is less than those colleges. Not much focus on research. You will study 5 subjects each semester. They have mini projects each semester. It gives you opportunity for application of what you've learnt. There you have some scope for research.
Internships Opportunities
Internship facility depends on branches. Computer, IT, EnTC branches get more such internships while Mechanical, Production rarely get any internships. Stipend is very low and in most of the cases there is no stipend. For comp,IT stipend is good, ranging from 5k to 20k.
Placement Experience
Again, placements depend on the branches. For Comp,IT,Entc branches, placements are very good. Almost every person w/o backlogs can get places. But for mechanical, production, chemical placements in core companies are average, somewhere around 50% or less. Some of the regular recruiters are Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Eaton, Atlas Copco, Kirloskar, Tata Elxi, Tata Tech, etc
College Events
There are three major events that are celebrated in college. VIshwakarandak, Melange and Vishwostav. Vishwakarandak is an inter-department event, in which various departments are given points according to their performance in various competitions. Melange is an inter-college events in which participants form colleges are also allowed. Vishwostav is kind of annual gathering and days.
Fee Structure And Facilities
For open category students, fee is somewhere around 1.3 lakhs. Fee is in the same range of other private engineering colleges in Pune. Considering the faculty, lab facilities, etc fee seems to be feasible. There are some other colleges in pune where fee is less than this, but those are less in quality of education.
Fees and Financial Aid
No such facility is available in college. But, in some departments, their is facility of earn and learn. You have to help teachers in their work and for that you will get remuneration.
Campus Life
Campus of this college is kind of small when compared to other colleges in Pune. College ground and Parking is same. But, in terms of extracurricular activitys and sports, you have a lot of scope in VIT. There is a culturual group which pariticipates in drama competitions, other grooups participates in Robocon, Baja, Supra, etc. Sports activities are also given support.
Hostel Facilities
Hostel facility is something this college lags behind. Hostel is 2-3 km far from the college. There no any kind of transport medium available from hostel to college. You have to change transport 2-3 times to reach college. It's preferred that you have your own bike if you want to live in hostel. Mess facility is also below average. They just do not change curry and you will feel like eating same thing everyday. It is advisable that you live in a flat nearby college.
Alumni/Alumna
Recently college has taken firm steps to build up alumni network. They also hold alumni meet every year. In all, college has a good alumni network.
Exam Structure
As this institute is autonomous, they have their own exam structure and that is very good. Each semester has 3 tests viz. class test, mid-sem, end-sem test. Mid-sem test is online test. Their marking scheme is also somewhat different from Pune Uniersity colleges. Syllabus is divided for each exam while end-sem exam has all the syllabus.
Admission
After CET result, I got this college via CAP round. Admission forms were online, but we had to submit its print along with our documents in the college on a specified date. The process is very easy and college staff and non-staff members are very helpful in any problem occurs.
Faculty
Faculty of college is very good. Many of the senior professors are PhDs. Almost all faculty is PG on respective discipline. They are very helpful and there are very less teacher-student conflicts. Their guidance during project is very crucial. They have a system of feedback in ehich you have to give feedback to teachers on various criteria like communication skill, etc.
