What will you miss or you are missing after leaving VNIT-Nagpur?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : November 20th, 2023

After leaving VNIT Nagpur, I’ll miss my friends the most. 

They are the ones that make both hostel and college life so memorable. They bang on my door early in the morning, and ask me to mark their proxy. They’ve marked my proxy as well, on multiple occasions. We would bunk classes on some days, and motivate each other to attend the lectures on others.

We go to the canteen whenever the mess food is too much to bear. We play cricket, watch IPL together, perform group studies, demand treats from one another, and so much more.

Apart from that, I will miss AXIS, Institute Gathering (the best event at VNIT, as per me), the greenery of our campus, Mechanical Engineering department and Chatterjee sir’s classes, and probably everything else about this college. 

I will forever cherish the time spent at this college.

VNIT Nagpur records decent placements in B.Tech civil. Even the off campus placement drives are organized with the help of college authorities. 

This year, 121 civil students of VNIT received job offers. Companies like Black N Veatch, Fluor Daniels, L&T ECC, L&T Powai, Afcons, Pidilite, ZS, Mu Sigma, Futures First, SPCL, IBM and Aarvee associates recruit civil students from the VNIT campus. 

Overall, B.Tech Civil placements at VNIT are decent and at par with other NITs.

Namrata Das Posted On : November 20th, 2023

There isn’t one, rather plenty of things that I wanted to do before leaving VNIT Nagpur-

I wanted to spend one more night at the college canteen with my friends, I wanted to play one last cricket match at the hostel, I wanted to have one last cup of coffee at Nescafe, I wanted to have one last samosa at Nandu’s shop, I wanted to see the sunset at Jhilpi or Ambazari or Futala, for one last time, I wanted to go for one more walk in the campus at midnight, I wanted one last group photograph with my friends.

These are just a few of the many things I wanted to do before leaving my alma mater.

What is the present scenario at VNIT, Nagpur? Is it still worth joining?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 30th, 2023

I have recently graduated from VNIT Nagpur.

Based on my experience, here are a few things you must know before joining this institute-

  1. The placement figures are very average. B.Tech CS records 100% (or close to 100%) placements, but its average package is less in comparison to other NITs.
  2. The hostels are in a poor condition, especially girls’ hostels. The hostel staff is not supportive at all.
  3. Hostel messes serve poor quality food.
  4. The administration is not student friendly. 

Though it is a national level institution,VNIT requires a lot of improvement in administration, infrastructure and placements.

How is VNIT Nagpur?

AR
Arjita Shivaji Ray Posted On : October 30th, 2023
VNIT Nagpur - Mechanical Engineering

I am a student of VNIT Nagpur. 

According to me, It is important to highlight the negative aspects of my college. They are-

  1. VNIT has the highest hostel fee among all IITs and NITs, and it increases every 1-2 years.
  2. The college administration is not responsible or student friendly at all. 
  3. The student council simply communicates official orders from the administration to students.This is because its members are selected by the administration itself.
  4. The clubs aren’t provided proper funds. Even the tech and cultural fest aren’t financially supported by the college.
  5. M.Tech placements are very poor because the professors do not permit industrial training.
  6. The Training and Placement Cell charges extra money, other than the TnP charges mentioned by the college. 
  7. The professors are allotted subjects of which they don’t even have an expertise.
  8. No leaves are given for internships at prestigious universities like CMU, MIT, and Stanford.
  9. The refundable caution money is not given back. 

VNIT is a well known institute. However, its administration has failed the students. A lot of changes need to be made in the functioning of this college.

How are the placements in mining at VNIT, Nagpur?

KM
Kaushal Madnani Posted On : October 30th, 2023
VNIT, Graduated 2019

Till 2017, VNIT recorded good placements in its Mining department. Coal India was the major recruiter, and it offered good packages.

In the past few years, fewer core companies visit the campus. Vedanta, LnT, etc. visit and recruit few students each year. PSUs like SAIL, NTPC and NLC recruit GATE qualified students. However, they only have a few vacancies. Getting a core job isn’t guaranteed. 

You can try for non-core companies (IT, Management, Trading ,etc). With some experience and proper skillset, you can increase your chances of getting selected. For this experience and skill set, you’ll need internships. But such companies are open for multiple branches, so you’ll have to put in more effort and prove your excellence.

This is the placement scenario for B.Tech Mining at VNIT Nagpur.

Which one is better for computer science and engineering and why: VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, or NIT Rourkela?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 19th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

As an alumnus of VNIT Nagpur, I will share some pros and cons of studying CSE from there. To know about the CSE at NIT Calicut and NIT Rourkela, you can consult the alumni from those institutions.

Pros of studying CSE at VNIT Nagpur-

  1. The placements for CSE branch are excellent. The majority of students (around 75%) are placed within the initial months of the final year. Those who are not placed mostly have very low grades or backlogs (at most 10-15 students out of around 90).
  2. The Alumni Internship allows 2nd and 3rd year students to intern at the companies of college alumni.
  3. The CSE faculty is quite good and experienced. 
  4. The coding culture is good with a coding club and monthly internal coding contests.
  5. Visiting faculties from IT companies like Persistent and Infosys offers exposure to industry standards and the latest industry developments.
  6. Lab work and assignments allow students to put their skills to practice. You will get ample time to publish research papers or work on your own projects as a CSE student over there.

Cons-

  1. Summers are hot in Nagpur, especially during April and May. But the weather is fine for the rest of the year.
  2. The college offers all the courses required for B.Tech. But some advanced elective courses like Computational Biology are not offered. However, such courses are not guaranteed to be offered by other NITs as well.

After looking into the various factors, make an informed choice for your CSE among VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, and NIT Rourkela. VNIT Nagpur is a great choice for a CSE as per my personal experience.

What are the immediate changes you wish for in VNIT Nagpur?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : November 3rd, 2023

VNIT Nagpur is my alma mater, and I deeply respect my college.

However, here is something about VNIT that needs immediate improvement-

The college authorities follow curfew timings for girls’ hostels, without taking any consent from parents or students. This is a form of gender bias, and I am strictly against it. In-time prevents female students from accessing the reading room and labs after a certain time of the day. Instead of restricting the movement of female students, the campus should be made safer for women. 

I sincerely hope that the college authorities make positive changes in this direction.

How is student life at VNIT Nagpur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : November 18th, 2023
B.Tech ChemE from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur (2019)

The student life at VNIT Nagpur is decent.

However, sometimes the internet facilities on campus do not work properly. This is quite troubling. 

The mess food is good. Apart from that, the college playground is also good. The playground is filled with students in the evening. Almost everyone in the hostel sleeps late at night. On weekends, an all-nighter is quite common. 

The student life at VNIT is good. I’ve already mentioned the annoying aspects, as well as some things that are good about this college.
