VIT University, commonly called Vellore Institute of Technology or VIT, is a private research university
with primary focus on engineering and technology, located in Vellore,
TN, India. Actually, the thing is before coming to VIT I did a lot
searches on Google to know more about VIT, their hostels, life and
everything else but nevertheless i didn't found anything worth reading
about in which i could have deep insight about VIT.
In this post i am not going to tell the same thing that a scene from robot movie was shot in VIT, vellore campus. VIT is seriously a fun place to live in but here are the things that everyone should know about VIT.
This means that ALL the students have an user account with the Dreamspark webstore and they are entitled to download their share of Microsoft developer tools, servers, and platforms for free !
Unfortunately by the time i came to know about this, i had already bought my laptop.
100% placements. Okay I know, all that IT recruitment and stuff you'd be pondering. But trust me, better than being un-employed. Besides,it's not that you don't get jobs in core-companies. VIT university also offers jobs to the professor's spouse, if He has passed away due to some reason. Job like associate warden, library secretary, etc. Isn't that amazing?
Considering the no. of crows there are in our campus, and how viciously they swoop to snatch a puff from you i must warn you from the gang of crows here :P
There are people from the remotest corners of the country and a lot from other countries too so while you are staying here you don't realize how accommodating and tolerant you have become of people you thought you couldn't be with.Also,VIT is a collage of very different people.
In this post i am not going to tell the same thing that a scene from robot movie was shot in VIT, vellore campus. VIT is seriously a fun place to live in but here are the things that everyone should know about VIT.
1) VIT has a tie up with Dreamspark
This means that ALL the students have an user account with the Dreamspark webstore and they are entitled to download their share of Microsoft developer tools, servers, and platforms for free !
What this means :
All of us can save some 6-7k by not buying the latest windows OS, which we can simply download[original version] for free.
Unfortunately by the time i came to know about this, i had already bought my laptop.
2) Placements in VIT
100% placements. Okay I know, all that IT recruitment and stuff you'd be pondering. But trust me, better than being un-employed. Besides,it's not that you don't get jobs in core-companies. VIT university also offers jobs to the professor's spouse, if He has passed away due to some reason. Job like associate warden, library secretary, etc. Isn't that amazing?
3) Free Internet
VIT
offers free internet to all the students. you can access it in hostels,
around the campus but most important thing is that it is limited to 3GB
per month and i am comfortable with it but some of friends told me that
Manipal univ. offers unlimited or 10 GB internet and if that's so i am
quite disappointed or should I be?
4) The image that it carries around is not as bad as you think.
You'd
find VIT students competing in almost every collegiate
competitions-national and international and doing extraordinarily well
like Team Kshatriya ( BAJA SAE India), Team Pravega (FSAE), Team
Vimaanas (SAE Aero Design), to name a few.
Undergrads from VIT have admits from the finest colleges in the world including MIT, Imperial College London, Carnegie Mellon University, Delft University of Technology, Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Purdue University.

5) It always rains in Vellore during examtime especially during CAT.
6) So Many chinese students in VIT.
VIT University has the maximum no. Of tieups with Chinese universities. More than any other Indian university.
They tied-up with 10 Chinese universities, and voila you get Chinese people in your college.

7) Crows , I say!!
Considering the no. of crows there are in our campus, and how viciously they swoop to snatch a puff from you i must warn you from the gang of crows here :P
8) Companies come to VIT to offer internships or traning to students during summer or winter break
If
i'm not wrong, Microsoft came last year and took some 10 people of 3rd
year Btech for summer internship and of which some or all of them got a
job offer in the end..
9) My favorite part is the huge like really huge diversity here.
There are people from the remotest corners of the country and a lot from other countries too so while you are staying here you don't realize how accommodating and tolerant you have become of people you thought you couldn't be with.Also,VIT is a collage of very different people.
10) Sale of uncooked maggie is banned in VIT University.
Sorry, to all the students who are feeling hungry right now. i know your pain bro.
Overall, I'm sure quite a number of people agree, at VIT you are made to run around a lot. You have to run for signatures from the whole organization tree, to organize an event/take a leave/organize a meeting/re-cat/going home/coming back late etc etc.
They really liked their signatures on all those letters for some reason. If you think about it, it is like a mini-world, warming you up for all the things that are out there, in the real world. You develop a kind of resistance and patience to these sort of things.The current students wont see it like that, but later on when you move out, get a job and are in the real world, and probably face something similar, you would probably think,
"Meh, been there, seen that".
