B.Tech from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur (2019)

VNIT Nagpur is constantly improving from the past few years. You should be proud of yourself for managing to get in. 

As an alumni of this institute, I will be giving some valuable advice to you-

  1. Make good connections with your hostelmates. 
  2. Pay attention in class, complete your assignments on time, and attend your classes regularly. Study every day, form a good study routine. By following disciplined study habits, you’ll secure 7.5+ CGPA. 
  3. Make good notes, or borrow good notes from your seniors and peers. Ask your seniors for useful tips and tricks related to your subjects.
  4. Do not by any chance, come into the bad books of your professors. They may not affect your theory marks, but can surely affect your lab results. 
  5. Befriend your seniors, don’t enter their bad books. They’ll be of immense help in your studies and overall college life.
  6. Maintain 75% attendance for all your lectures and tutorials, especially the ones taken by strict professors. The professors of Applied Mechanics Department (Engineering Mechanics) and Electrical Engineering Department are especially particular about attendance.
  7. Participate in events, and become a member of college clubs. Aarohi, Axis and Consortium are some of the important college events. Make sure to participate in the Department Gathering and Institute Gathering during your first year.
  8. Reach out to the college counselor, your peers, or your seniors whenever you feel like giving up on everything. You’ll face plenty of hardships, but remember to never give up. 
  9. Make the most of your college life. VNIT has many shortcomings, try to ignore those and focus on the good aspects.

Study well and make the most of your first year at VNIT Nagpur. You’ll remember this period for the rest of your life, so make it worthwhile.

What are the hostel fees for M.Tech aspirants at VNIT Nagpur and how is the condition of the hostels and the food served there?

Namrata Das Posted On : November 3rd, 2023

VNIT Nagpur is one of the most expensive NITs, and its hostels are at par with private college hostels. 

The new NBCC constructed hostels have been functional for a few years.The hostels are provided with a TV room and a Table Tennis room. Each hostel room has high speed LAN ports.

The mess food is nowhere close to home cooked meals, but it is better than the one offered by tiffin services. North Indian and South Indian staples are served in the menu, along with some dishes from the Marathi cuisine. 

The hostel administration and mess contractors aren’t student friendly at all, but you’ll learn to manage things with time. The hostel fee is on an average, Rs. 32,700 per sem. You can expect a refund of around Rs. 5-10k for an academic year. 

Thus, you can expect a decent stay at the VNIT hostels.

Which is actually better: B.Tech VIT Chennai + BM at XLRI or B.Tech NIT Nagpur + BAA offer at ZS Associates?

YG
Yashmeet Grover Posted On : November 10th, 2020

Under the B.tech category in India of NIRF 2020, VIT Chennai is placed at 13th position whereas NIT Nagpur is spotted at number 27. VIT is popular for its B.tech CSE course unlike (V)NIT Nagpur which offers ECE as its flagship course.

BM at XLRI is one of the most demanded programs as the Institute is ranked 9th best business schools in India by NIRF 2020.

Admission

VIT Chennai:

  • VIT offers VITEEE for admission in the B.tech program.

  • Aspirants must have AIR below 5,000 in order to make it to VIT Chennai in the first round.

  • VIT offers 273 seats per branch of B.tech.

  • The annual tuition fee at VIT Chennai is 1.73 lakhs for B.tech courses.

NIT Nagpur:

  • Students must clear JEE mains in order to get admitted to NIT Nagpur.

  • Opening and closing rank for CSE, ECE, and ME are 2116-5361, 6151-8378, and 8296- 13454 respectively.

  • NIT Nagpur offers 946 seats in total across all branches.

  • The annual tuition fee for the B.tech course at NIT Nagpur is 1.3 lakhs.

XLRI:

  • XLRI conducts the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) followed by PI for selection.

  • 95% is the cutoff for male candidates to join the BM program whereas 93% in the case of females for the same.

  • XLRI offers a two year PGDM(BM) course at the course fee of 2.9 lakhs per annum.

Focusing back on your question, B.tech+BM will consume your six years which you have to completely dedicate to your studies. Eventually, it will turn fruitful as you will end up in a high profile job post your PGDM(BM) from XLRI. XLRI even offers 100% placement assurance and 26 LPA, average CTC.

On the other hand, B.tech from NIT Nagpur is also a good option. The BAA job profile at ZS associates will demand you to perform Excel-workbooks, PowerPoints, Data research, analysis, execution, etc depending upon the clients you work with. Having work experience is no harm where you can be financially independent 2 years prior to your option-1. You can further go back to study PGDM at any top Institutes.

The deciding factor here lies in your passion and inclination either towards HR/ management or the core Engineering field. Decide what is best for you.

Which is better, VNIT Nagpur or IIIT Allahabad, for the ECE branch?

PK
Pallavi Kapoor Posted On : June 19th, 2021
Information Technology (IT) at VNIT Nagpur (2019)

One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field.

  • Mostly, the students of ECE are thoroughly engaged in coding and are known to study ECE because of reasons that center around only graduating.
  • While, on the flip side, in VNIT Nagpur, the students pursue ECE because they are interested in it.
  • However, the placements of IT field are more likely to surpass the number of placements seen in ECE fields. This is because the core hardware companies relatively do not share the same amount of trust with the freshers.
  • If you want to obtain a better salary package after graduating from a B.Tech course, then going for IIIT, Allahabad can be a superior option.
  • While, if you relevantly want to pursue your career in most of the core ECE companies, then it is suggested that you opt for VNIT, Nagpur.

Yet, here is a brief data about the overall placement, course fees and more about both the institutes,

Intitutes

IIIT, Allahabad

VNIT, Nagpur

Course Fees (1st Year Fees)

1.65 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)

1.49 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)

Average CTC

INR. 43 LPA

INR. 22 LPA

Top Recruiters

Adobe, VISA, Paytm, Amazon, Flipkart, Arista Networks, Cisco Systems

ACC Limited, Amazon, Aarti Industries, Capgemini Technology Services Ltd., Goldman Sachs

However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.

SJ
Suchandra Jha Posted On : July 7th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics & Communication, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal

You are comparing two different branches; Computer (CSE) and Electrical (EEE). If you are naturally inclined towards a particular branch, then you should choose it no matter the institute. If you are not sure about the branch then let me share some facts I got to know while researching about the institutes.

  • NIRF Engineering Ranking 2020 – VNIT Nagpur is ranked 27 while NIT Surathkal is ranked 13.
  • Academics – In this regard both are equal. Some professors are good and some are really bad.
  • Extra-Curricular Activities – NIT Surathkal is way better than VNIT Nagpur. You will always find some activity happening on the campus. VNIT Nagpur does not have any such activities being conducted regularly.
  • Campus location – VNIT Nagpur is actually better than NIT Surathkal. Although the Surathkal beach which is right beside the college looks good in photos, the same cannot be said in person. The VNIT Nagpur campus on the other hand is clean and green.
  • Workshops – At VNIT Nagpur most of the workshops organized by the clubs are paid while at NIT Surathkal most of them were free and open to all.

The following table shows a brief insight on relevant facts for both institutes:

Categories

CS at VNIT

EEE at NIT Surathkal

Course Fee

5.50 lakh

5.45 lakh

Highest CTC

25 LPA

15 LPA

Average CTC

10-12 LPA

8-9 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Accenture, Deloitte, Wipro, Dell, etc.

TCS, Phillips, Havells, nVidia, etc.

Now that you have seen the comparison you can choose which one you like based on your needs and expectations. If you want then you can also make your decision based on the placement reports.
