I graduated from VNIT Nagpur a few years back. This story is from my 6th semester days.
A friend of mine was appearing for his Math-II end-sem exam. He was giving his 3rd attempt at the time. His slots for that year were B, C, D, F, G, H. He had enrolled in 6 subjects.
He was afraid that he would fail Math-II once again. However, this time he decided to try his best, and studied religiously. He just needed 20 marks to pass the exam, but the Mathematics faculty follows the binary-correction pattern. So he was sure that getting sufficient grades would be as challenging as before.
Ultimately, he passed the Math-II exam. But having given the paper well filled him with so much confidence that he failed the remaining C, D, F, G, H slots.
This is a funny tale, and we often laugh while reminiscing about it. But this answer is intended to warn you about Math-II. It was quite a difficult subject, especially for my friend.
VNIT records decent placements in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.
During campus placements, students of B.Tech Metallurgy receive job offers from various core and non core companies. Some of these are- Mu Sigma, TCS, IBM, Infocepts, Reliance India Ltd, 3DPLM, Uttam Galva, JSW Steel Ltd, Mahindra Sanyo Steels, JSPL, Sunflag Steels, HINDALCO and Raymond Engineering.
Apart from this, B.Tech Metallurgy students receive offers from prestigious colleges for their higher studies. Some of these colleges are- CMU and UCLA (for MS),
IIM Shillong, IIM Indore, IISc, IIT Powai, IIT Chennai and IIT Kanpur. The students of Metallurgy perform really well in exams like CAT, GATE, etc.
VNIT Nagpur is a prestigious engineering college with decent placements in Metallurgy department.
One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.
IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.
The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.
VNIT was established in 1960 as VRCE. It is one of the NITs, and a well renowned engineering college of India. Since being renamed as VNIT in 2002, it is an Institute of National Importance.

I had a fantastic experience at the meetup.
VNIT Nagpur is my alma mater, and this meetup revived so many of my memories of this place. I used to organize a number of events during college days.
At the meetup, I was invited as the chief guest.The college canteen, the classrooms, and every other thing about VNIT made me nostalgic. The meetup was a huge success, and a large number of students attended it.
I made close bonds with a lot of people, and had a great time overall. There were discussions on a variety of topics, ranging from movies to social issues, and more. The crowd was energetic, enthusiastic, and bubbling with questions. Unfortunately, I and the other guests couldn’t address all of those doubts because of time constraints.
I feel lucky, having gotten an opportunity to revisit my college as a chief guest. This meetup will always remain a fond memory for me.
I am placing these colleges in a descending order for their B.Tech CS-
MNIT records good placements for B.Tech CS. Some companies that recruit B.Tech CS students from its campus are- Qualcomm, Infosys, Amazon, Adobe, DE Shaw, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, Deloitte, Samsung and Bosch.
NITC and MNIT are the best among these colleges, for B.Tech CS. Others are ranked in a descending order of my personal preference.
When opting for an M.Tech, one wishes to acquire more knowledge than our B.Tech counterparts. Apart from that, one thinks about placements, and the amount of time and effort required for teaching assistantship.
Except for a few specializations in Civil, ECE and CSE, VNIT fails to impart adequate knowledge, good placements and proper Phd. preparation for M.Tech students. As a result, most of us are forced to work in academia on a contract basis.
Moreover, VNIT is located in the outskirts. For making purchases, one has to go to the downtown area of Sitabuldi. This is highly inconvenient for hostelites. The mess food is of poor quality, and campus gates are shut post 10 pm.
The monthly stipend is very less when compared to the hostel and academic fee. Especially for the first two semesters, one has to depend on our parents for fee payment. On top of this, the hostel fee increases by 10% every year.
Some M.Tech specializations are good at VNIT. But in that case too, other factors go against this college. Thus, I won’t recommend VNIT Nagpur for an M.Tech.
