Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) offers a comprehensive admission process based on intermediate board exam marks, with an application fee of approximately Rs. 800. Admission is determined by performance in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The institute stands out for its distinguished faculty, thorough curriculum, and strong placement records, with over 100 B.Tech students from the 2021 class securing jobs with salaries exceeding Rs. 10 lakh per annum. Faculty members, mostly professors and doctorate holders, are generally interactive and supportive.

Assessments include two mid-term exams (Cat1 and Cat2) and a final exam (Fat), with Cat2 being an open book exam. The fee structure is tiered based on entrance exam ranks: Category 1 fees are Rs. 93,000, Category 2 are Rs. 1,49,000, and Category 3 are Rs. 1,90,000, excluding mess fees. Placements commence in the pre-final year, requiring no academic backlogs. The average salary package is around Rs. 8 lakh, with some reaching up to Rs. 1 crore.

More than 90% of students secure placements from over 100 visiting companies annually. M.Tech integrated students begin placements in the fourth year, often converting internships into full-time roles, with companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon offering stipends from Rs. 10k to Rs. 50k monthly. The institution ensures students' coding and aptitude skills are polished to enhance placement success. While direct scholarships are not offered, financial aid and personal loans are available. The course fees range from Rs. 96,000 to Rs. 4,00,000 annually, with a combined B.Tech and master's program totaling around Rs. 5,00,000 over five years.

Fees exclude hostel charges and may increase by Rs. 10,000 during the course. Admission requires passing the Vellore entrance exam.

Crazy Life at ViT

The fee structure is purely based on the ranks. The ranks and category varies the fee. There are three categories in this particular course. But this course has less fee structure than Btech Engineering in VIT.

The overview of the vit Chennai University by a student ?????.

The fee structure for the course which I have opted for is approx 99000 per year which does not include the hostel fee l. This is only the course fee. There is a scholarship that is based on the merit of 12 class marks percentage which results in the reduction of the tuition fee by some percentage.

I would say it is affordable at best. With a PG course, the maximum fee is 196000 Per year which is best compared to what every other college is providing and the fee is based on category. The first category is only 1 lakh per year which is very affordable.

Makes you to decide who you are

When we come to the fees policy a little bit high because I am from a lower middle-class family so it was a little bit high for me, but there are some scholarship options it is not the directs scholarship Programme, based on the Ranking the fees will be separated category-wise. When I joined there are three categories in 2017 if I want to mention the structure 1-96,000/- 2-1,50,000/- 3-1,96,000/- Before the completion of my course itself, we had a hike of 10,000/- for each category if I'm not wrong
