Samarth Zalte's Review on VIT University, [VIT] Vellore

Microsoft and Cisco were two super dream companies that hired in double digits (12 – 16, I guess). Apart from that, another 10 – 15 students (mostly GDC, 2 for IDC who did an internship) got PPO from Microsoft. Some 20 students will get to do an internship at Cisco through their CCNA programme. They will be converted to FTEs based on their performance during the internship period. The highest package was offered by Amazon (27 lacs -> 3 students). Directi (26 lacs -> 1 student), Paypal (21 lacs -> 7 students), De-Shaw (25 lacs -> 3 students). Other super dream companies like Morgan Stanley, Appdynamics, ABCO, Commvault, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Oracle, Schlumberger, McKinsey etc hired around 4-5 each on an average. There were many other super dream companies that came to our campus. Given below is the link to VIT Alumni Association commonly known as VITAA.

The eligibility criteria was paying with more than 60 percentage in the 10+2 board examination. The prescribed entrance exam called VITEEE must be given in order to be eligible for admission. Typically almost 120 can be the cutoff for admission to Electrical Engineering this year.

VIT follows a Fully Flexible Credit System (FFCS) in which the students get to choose slots, timing as well as the faculty they suit. The quality is of teaching is top class and is on par with the foreign universities.
