Admission: The teachers are really nice and helpful. They make sure we're ready for the industry. The semester exams are tough but it helps us learn. Most students pass with over 80%, thanks to everyone's hard work.
Placement: Around 150 students from my course got placed. The highest salary package offered is 1.02 LPA, and the average is 9 LPA. Companies like Siemens, TCS, Infosys, L&T, Tata Power, and more hire from our course. About 60% of students got internships, and popular roles are electrical engineer, electronics engineer, and power systems engineer.
Campus: The university has great infrastructure and is well-maintained. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel, and the classrooms are decent. The library has a lot of books related to our courses. The facilities in the hostel are good, but the food is just okay. They have medical help round the clock. And there are sports equipment for students to use.

Admission: The mid-sem exams are tough, with 2 of them plus 1 end-sem. Theory courses use relative grading, but labs are graded absolutely. The second mid-sem is the hardest, with low class-average. Teachers listen to feedback, but most are strict.
Placement: The average salary this year is around 11-12 lakhs per annum, with the middle salary being 10 lakhs for CSE. Deloitte, Accenture, and TCS are the best companies that hire here. Over 350 companies have come to campus, giving out more than 4500 job offers. More than 300 students have gotten jobs with a salary over 20 lakhs. But around 300 students have ended up with salaries below 5 lakhs too.
Campus: The computers and labs are top-notch with good facilities. Food is okay, but it depends on what you like. The campus has huge grounds for sports and lots of chances to play games every day. The only downside is the strict curfew at 6:00 PM on campus and 9:00 PM in the hostel for boys (and 8:00 PM for girls).

Admission: All the teachers here have Ph.D. and are super knowledgeable. They're pretty approachable and helpful. The teaching is okay, they cover the stuff on time. The curriculum is good for AI ML. It's new and helps us get ready for jobs. Exams aren't super hard, you just need 40% in FAT and 50% overall to pass.
Placement: Placements at both Vellore and Chennai campuses are pretty good, except for a few companies like TCS and CTS that hire a lot of people. The average salary is around 6-7 lakhs per year. CSE placements are solid, with the highest package hitting 1.3 crores last year. The lowest package offered is around 2 lakhs. Most CSE students get placed, but other departments have decent core placements, though not as good as CSE.
Campus: The facilities at VIT are awesome. Most academic blocks have Wi-Fi. The labs are top-notch with the latest tech. Classrooms have good benches and projectors. They clean the classes daily. I don't stay in the hostel, but the canteen has a great vibe.

Admission: I really like how the teaching is here. They mix theory with hands-on stuff, which helps me understand things better. The course is made to get us ready for work, so it's spot on for what we need. It's all updated for what's happening in tech right now. The exams can be tough, but if you keep up and really get the concepts, they're not too bad to handle.
Placement: I went to VIT and most of my classmates got jobs. It's cool that the highest salary is 45 LPA, the lowest is 6 LPA, and the average is 12 LPA. Big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Oracle came for recruitment. Lots of students in my batch interned at places like Adobe, Deloitte, and Infosys before getting hired.
Campus: I really like VIT because they have all the cool stuff we need for our courses. The Wi-Fi is super fast all over campus, and the labs have everything we need. The classrooms are spacious and comfy for studying. The hostel rooms are clean and cozy, plus we get 24/7 internet. The food in the mess and canteen is pretty good, with lots of options. But like every place, there are some good things and some not-so-good things.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and really know their stuff. The semester exams can be a bit challenging, but it's all good. I noticed that a lot of the senior lecturers have their PhDs. What's cool is that we get to choose our own teachers for most of our classes and even make our own schedules. It's pretty neat!
Placement: Around half of the students here got jobs after graduation. The pay is around 4 to 5 LPA on average. Our college offers both technical and non-technical positions. Lots of companies visit our campus, each with their own designated area. Usually, the first round of interviews is online. Sometimes we can do it from home, but other times we have to come to the college to take the test.
Campus: The hostels here are really nice. Compared to other colleges, they're pretty decent and not too expensive. You can get both north and south Indian food. They have free Wi-Fi, a night canteen, and a small shop. There's a health center and ambulance services, which is great. Also, there's a sports club with teams for different games. The labs, classrooms, and library are all good too.

Admission: The professors at VIT Chennai are really great, lots of them have PhDs and do research. They're super approachable. Each semester, there are three sets of exams, and they're not too hard to pass. If you study for just one hour every day, you'll do fine. The exams are fair and graded fairly.
Placement: The placements at VIT Chennai are awesome! There are lots of chances to get placed in big companies as long as you're good at studies and keep a CGPA around 9. It's not hard to do this if you study regularly. When you join VIT Chennai, you'll see that the placement opportunities are really great with top-notch companies. Just focus on your studies and keep your CGPA high it's totally doable if you stay on track.
Campus: The course is super focused on industry stuff, and they keep everything in top shape. There are four boys' hostels A, C, D1, and D2. They have rooms with 2, 4, or 6 beds. The mess serves vegetarian, non-vegetarian, special, and food park meals. Right now, only guys can eat at the food park, but girls can enjoy the first three options.

Admission: I love that we can pick our own teachers and class times here. The faculty are all really smart and easy to talk to. Some of them have great connections and offer internships. I chose this college mainly because of the course options. They have special classes in addition to the regular ones. I'm studying mechanical engineering with AI and ML. The curriculum prepares us well for jobs. The pass rate is super high at 97%.
Placement: The placements here are really good. Everyone gets placed at the Vellore campus. Even if you're studying mechanical, you're guaranteed a job in software companies. The average salary this year is around 11 to 12 LPA, with the highest being 88 LPA. A lot of companies - 867 to be exact - showed up and offered 8,000 jobs. For mechanical, the top recruiters are Mercedes and Mahindra. Between 75% to 95% of eligible students got placed. They're in touch with big companies and give students projects. Some of the top jobs they offer are design engineer, automation, and manufacturing process planner.
Campus: Our campus is huge, covering 192 acres. We've got everything - gym, pool, canteens, bank, and a supermarket. The library is awesome with books on all sorts of topics. During exams, it's open till midnight or even later. Most canteens are clean, but some need improvement. Sometimes monkeys drink from the same cups we use. For fun, we've got two grounds, a cricket pitch, basketball court, and tennis court. The sports room is top-notch too.

Admission: The teachers here are great and really know their stuff. They always help out when you need it. But in the first year, some of the courses don't really match what we're studying. The exams in each semester can be tough, but most people pass because there's just one big exam that determines if you pass or not.
Placement: Over 90% of students get jobs after finishing their studies. The highest salary is 1.2 crore, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Companies like Deloitte, Google, and Microsoft hire students here. There are also TCS, Wipro, and Cognizant for those who don't make it to the top companies. In my course, Motorq is the top company that hires students. Many students get hired by Motorq through a PPO. The job roles offered there can be different for each student.
Campus: The Wi-Fi gets turned off at midnight. The old buildings aren't great, but the new ones are nice. The library is open until midnight. The food is decent, and they serve it for a long time so you can eat whenever.
