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.
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.
I have recently graduated from VNIT Nagpur.
Based on my experience, here are a few things you must know before joining this institute-
Though it is a national level institution,VNIT requires a lot of improvement in administration, infrastructure and placements.
I am a student of VNIT Nagpur.
According to me, It is important to highlight the negative aspects of my college. They are-
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.
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.
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-
Cons-
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.
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.
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.
Here are some details on the ECE department of VNIT Nagpur-
This is the basic information regarding the ECE department of VNIT. B.Tech ECE is thus, quite decent at this institute.
