I applied for Vellore Institute of Technology , Vellore and I got admission in its IT Branch but I dropped it because I got selected into JEE Advanced and got IIT Kharagpur which is a better college by all means and is the oldest IIT , mother of all IITs . VIT is however a private college and there are not that better peer group as only students rejected from IIT will attend those colleges, also I had known that IIT has a very good culture and i am experiencing it now how IIT Kharagpur has evolved its culture and continues to shine after 70+ years

There is 1 faculty per 40 students from second year onwards which is an ideal number. In many courses there is a system where two faculties teach simultaneously ( one is senior and one is assistant prof.) so we get to see both the experienced and young professionals at the same time and the teaching is quite well structured and good . The exams are of two types mid semester and end semester . midsems have 30% weightage and endsem have 50% weightage . the rest 20% is covered by tests or attendance . Generally there is no strictness in attendance and professor are chill , however it depends on the professor . Exams are mostly easy and can be done with two days study before exams . There are some old professors like Prof Debashish Chakraborty of Civil Engineering Department who are infamous for being strict in their teaching and grading system, also for the attendance and students don't like him due to this but his teaching is very good and he knows the subject by heart
