Admission to Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) is primarily based on the VITEEE exam, a 180-mark test taken by 10,000 to 16,000 students annually. A rank within the top 20,000 is usually needed for a seat at VIT Vellore. VIT has four campuses: Bhopal, Amravati, Chennai, and Vellore, and offers strong placement opportunities, industrial interaction, qualified faculty, and research exposure. The faculty-student ratio is 1:20, and about 90% of faculty hold Ph.D.s, though some are less experienced in teaching.
The fee structure is tiered, ranging from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh annually based on entrance exam rank. Hostel fees vary from Rs. 24,000 to Rs. 52,000 depending on room type, and mess fees range from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 63,000 annually. Additional extracurricular fees include gym and swimming, each priced at Rs. 4,000. Major companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google participate in campus placements, with the highest salary package reaching Rs. 1.2 crore annually and average packages between Rs. 7-12 lakh.
Scholarships are available based on VITEEE ranks and other criteria, with full tuition waivers for top ranks. Despite these scholarships, overall fees can be high, ranging from Rs. 150,000 to Rs. 418,000, influenced by rank and category. Financial assistance is available for students with certain income thresholds.
