VIT Pune: Admission 2025, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

My friend at VIT Pune shared his first-day experience at the college. He faced a huge cultural shock as he hails from Delhi and was suddenly in a completely different environment. He received a warm welcome from his batchmates. He seemed out of place as most of his batchmates tale din Marathi. He asked them about the syllabus that had already been covered. In the second lecture, he was told that a class test was scheduled for the day after. Luckily, the professor postponed the test when my friend informed him that he was a new student.

The most tortuous lecture was the Japanese lecture. He struggled a lot in that particular class. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience at VIT Pune.

VIT Pune students get the maximum holidays in comparison to other engineering colleges in Pune. 

• Students get 2 weeks of holidays for Diwali.
• The winter break lasts for about 20 days in December.
• At the end of every academic year, students get a summer break for about 2 and a half months. Students usually spend this time doing internships or any foundation course.
• From the second year, students get both Saturday and Sunday off. 
• During the time of fests, no classes are conducted for around 2–3 days.

Hope this helps you!

VIT Pune has two separate departments namely ENTC(Electronics and Telecommunications) and the other is Elex (Electronics). Here are the highlights of these branches 

• Academics: The branch has some very well-versed professors who help you with projects, paper writing, and non-academic stuff. 
• Examinations: VIT has a very easy exam system. There are both mid sems and end sems which lowers the burden and gives you more time to learn in depth about the topics.
• Labs: The lab facilities here are great 
• Internships: Sadly, internships in core electronics companies are very rare. CS or IT students get internships very easily.
• Placements: Only a handful of core electronics companies offer placements at VIT. In comparison to CS and IT, the packages are not very high.
• Syllabus: The VIT syllabus is well-structured and updated at par with industry needs. 
• Exchange Programs: Students can also opt for exchange programs in renowned universities in Singapore, Germany, Canada, USA. 

Overall VIT is a great choice. However, you need to consider the fact that this college has no branch change faculty so you will have to choose the right branch at once.

VIT's Chemical Engineering degree is highly regarded as it offers the best chemical engineering degree in the entire state. 

• Faculty: VIT Pune's chemical engineering department has many well-versed professors, most of them being PhD holders.
• Placements/ Like any other Institute, code chemical engineering placements are average as most students prefer going to IT companies.
• Exposure: Students are offered excellent exposure through an association called CHESA which conducts events like seminars, guest lectures, workshops, etc.

Overall, Chemical Engineering at VIT Pune is a self-driven department so the students will be learning much more than just core concepts.

I can enlighten you about the schedule of first shift students at VIT Pune.

Morning classes start at 8am. Those who aren’t lucky enough to have a vehicle of their own, reach the campus by climbing the famous VIT slope. Walking to the college becomes especially tough during the rainy season as one has to walk in the opposite direction to pouring rain.

Some professors are very particular about time, and close the doors at sharp 8 am. After 2-3 lectures of an hour each, one gets an hour-long break. During this time, one eats at either of the two canteens or Poona Bakery. The break is followed by more lecture/lab sessions. After this, either one is free, or some more lectures commence after another break. 

Not all days are the same. Sometimes one gets free after 3 hours, while other times, classes and labs may even stretch to 8 hours. One usually gets free by 3pm. Saturday is a holiday for SE, TE and BE. Freshers have to attend general proficiency courses for 2 hours on Saturdays. GP includes Photography, Chess, Guitar, Violin, Yoga, Aerobics and other interesting hobbies. No leaves are awarded before exams, but the syllabus is quite manageable. 

This is the basic routine of first shift B.Tech students at VIT Pune. You’ll face a fair share of challenges, but in the end, you’ll be left with everlasting memories.
