College Pros and Cons

Faculty:

There is 1 faculty for a class of 60 Faculties are super approachable, you can approach them to ask for guidance in not only the subject they teach but also other domains Some faculties put a lot of pressure in the name of assignment submission, this can be pretty tiring and ruin your chances of getting out and getting more exposure 3 exams per semester: CAT 1, CAT 2, FAT and internals CAT 1 is closed book, CAT 2 is open book and FAT is closed book Internals is decided as per faculty, some may ask to present a research paper, some may give 3 quizzes, some may give written assignments etc

Is VIT worth it

Quality of study is excellent compared to other universities

The facultys are very good and experienced. For every 25 students there will be a faculty of your choosen branch as your mentor through whole four year. Per semester there will be three exams. Two mid exams CAT1 and CAT2 and one final exam FA. CAT2 is an open book exam. Other than that you will have digital assessment as your internals. The exams are little bit tough compared to other universities

My insights on Vit Chennai

Almost all faculties are IIT graduate. We have this amazing opportunity of choosing our faculties and slot. We get provided with all their education backgrounds. All information including their cabin number,phone number is available in the website. Faculties here are easily approachable. I really believe the interest we show on the subject is what reflects our liking towards the faculties. I do not have personal favourites and dislikes. But one thing I can assure is almost all teachers here are very knowledgeable and there are few faculties that if u listen to their class alone it's more than enough. No kind of extra materials are required. Mostly all of them chill but the only time they are strict is during attendance. Each course we will have 3 test - CAT 1,CAT 2,FAT.each course will be provided with course objectives and outcomes and depending on that only the questions are asked. They ensure that each questions fall under atleast one of the course objectives. Going through the faculties notes are more than enought to pass. Only CAT 2 is kinda tricky because it is open notebook. We are allowed to carry our own handwritten notes during that exams. Here we have relative grading system so CAT 1 and CAT 2 doesn't have pass marks. If we are more than class average we are good. For FAT we need to take more than 50 to pass. Very less people I know have failed courses and they have an option of studying it again so it won't come under arrears.

VIT- Melting Point of India

The faculty members here are well educated. Mostly everyone here has a PhD which makes them well versed in their respective field. Due to a variety of population they converse in English. Also research can be done under faculty easily which makes the student an all rounder.

My CSE in Business Analytics Journey at VIT Chennai

The faculty to student ratio is like 1:125 for each courses, the faculties are easily approachable by visiting their cabins. The names of the faculty that I liked is Shiwangi, she was teaching spanish in the first semester. there are also some faculties that i don't like because of their way of teaching. The exams are quite managable if the student had prepared something in between, it's hard to complete it all at the end. the Final Assessment Test is a bit too hard to study.

Vit is genuinely a very good college but it needs to inprove a little bit in terms of strictness freedom etc snd rules s

facult to student ratio is like if there are 70 students for one subject then there is one faculty.faculty to student relationship depends on the faculty only,some faculties are very friendly and easy to approach but some faculties are not.personally I have liked 2 faculties in the college.they are parasuraman sir and marziya begum ma'am i feel they are the best for me because they teach very well and they are very friendly and they are very easy to approach.they always clear my doubts.personally i didnt like alang g faculty of english and mohana preethi velan because i could never understand what they taught and they were not very friendly and easy to approach.
