Admission
I had given exams of various other colleges like Kalinga Insititute of technology(KIT), SRM, BITSAT etc. i chose VIT as my college was because it is one of the most renowned colleges of India. VIT has a tag value of its own and it does make a difference if you add "VIT" as your college in your resume. The admission process of this college goes by giving an examination called VITEEE which is held after jee mains. The syllabus for the same is similar to jee mains and the good thing is it has no negative marking. All 12th pass students with a minimum of 60% are eligible to write this entrance test. The admission procedure is online and smooth.
Faculty
The faculties offered are huge in number as the college follows ffcs system. Each faculty has around 5-10 research scholars that help in the labs. Most of the faculties are passionate in their jobs. some faculties that do not bother to come to the classes but thanks to ffcs these faculties are not recommended to the juniors and not prefered to be taken. VIT conducts overall 3 exams in a semester- CAT 1, CAT 2, FAT. CAT 1 and CAT 2 are mid term exams while FAT is the end term. CAT 2 is an open notes test. Relative grading is followed for all theory classes.
Night Life
The in time for campus is 6pm. For girls hostel the in time is 8pm while for boys it is 9pm so there is not much you can enjoy outside your hostel after 8 or 9. However it has a night canteen inside the hostel which provides a feast to all your night cravings. Library is open until 12midnight for all. The college is extremely safe for students
