Remarks:
I chose VIT because it offered me the same course(MCA) for the duration of 2yrs while other colleges like NIT were offering 3yrs of academic study. Below mentioned points are all related to Masters students only.PROS:1. FFCS(Fully Flexible Credit System) allows students to choose whatever subjects they want to study apart from the major subjects of their course. This gives VIT students the edge over other college students and makes them interdisciplinary. I personally like this very much.2. Their fast-track program for Masters student helped us a lot to in terms of completing our academics on a rapid pace and focus more on practical aspects of the course. During the entire course we spent out time developing projects parallel to the amount of theoretical concepts being taught in the classroom.3. The Profs in VIT encourage students for more doing research work.4. The college library is very good. There are a wide variety of Journals and books available for you to read till 12 in midnight. And obviously you can borrow5. The college has a very strict rule for everything from Outing timings to inside college movements for every student. 6. Everything is completely online. They have improved their VIT student portal a lot in past years.7. Also, if you are a 9 pointer then you can get the preference in choosing the hostel room. The above all you can skip the entire year of classes(which means no need to maintain the 75% attendance criteria). Pretty cool right, coz' now you can only attend the important classes that you feel so and study at fast pace and can also focus on practical projects more.There are lot of good things like free and paid gym for both boys and girls, DJ nights to cheer up the students, hundreds of clubs and chapters to join and get exposure, good canteens around, annual fests, etc.CONS:1. Though it sounds very fascinating. But one should be ready to face the difficulty/ challenges that comes with the amount of syllabus that one needs to cope up with the project components. 2. The restrictions inside the college, like you can't even go outside your hostel block after 9pm.3. Girls and boys standing and talking inside the campus can attract Annas(the guards inside the campus) towards you. And sometimes they come so close into your conversation that you won't even notice that they are actually eavesdropping. I know, this is sometimes too much. Typical aunties they are.4. The north Indian food inside the canteens is not so good.5. Library is not open all night. Closes at 12am6. You can't stay and research in lab during late at nights. Getting permission for anything like that is a little hard.Admission Process:The admission in VIT happens around the month of June and July. Although the forms for entrance examination generally came out in the month of April or May. The result of entrance exams usually get released in a week or so. At first VIT calls the student who are selected under the course for counselling. One can attend the counselling at any of their campus. The main campus is Vellore, but one can also attend the same at Bhopal or Andhra campus also. At the time of counselling they give you timeline for the date of joining and other orientation related dates. One can discuss about the Hostel facilities query at the help desk that gets setup in the Anna Auditorium (viz. where the counselling takes place usually). The allotment of seat in the course is based on the rank you score in the VITEE(for Undergraduate courses) and VITMEE(for Masters courses).You can refer to Quora if you have any doubts regarding VIT admission process or anything related to VIT. It has pretty an answer for every query that might come in your mind.
