Vemana Institute of Technology (VIT), Koramangala, Bangalore

Location:

Vemana Institute of Technology (VIT) is located in the highly upmarket Koramangala locality of South-Central Bangalore. BMTC buses like 171, 201G, 162, 340, 342 provide easy connectivity from Majestic and some other parts of the city.Infrastructure:

It's not something appreciable, but can be lived with. Labs are well equipped with modern apparatus, classrooms are decently maintained and the library is spacious. Although the library has a good number of books, majority are those fat books which students never even think of touching. The actually usable ones are few and are always issued to someone or the other. Also, the campus has no appropriate sporting facilities.
The Vemana Institute of Technology boys hostel lies in a dilapidated condition somewhere near JC Road. It's not even very accessible from college. The girls hostel is somewhat better and close to the campus, yet most students prefer PGs over the college hostels. Fees for the hostel are around Rs. 12,000/-Fees:

For Karnataka CET students: Rs. 36,090/- per year
For UGET (COMEDK) students: Rs. 1.25L per yearFaculty:

Students don't have much problem about the teaching of the faculty. What they have grudges about is that the teachers treat them as school kids; make them sit at the same place everyday, insist on girls and guys sitting separately and other such unnecessary rules.Attendance & Discipline:

All round the semester, Vemana Institute of Technology (VIT) stresses on attendance and discipline and makes it mandatory to attend 85% of the lectures. If it falls below that, generally no stern actions are taken, but once in a while a bunch of students with low attendance may be disallowed to appear for exams so that that fear keeps people in control.Crowd:

Most people out here remind us of "Chatur Ramalingam" of the "3 Idiots" fame. Extremely bookish and study-oriented, with no belief in pragmatic knowledge. Few exceptions remain but they prefer rather not attending college than spending time with "Chaturs"Canteen:

"What are you talking about?" is the reply. And then we suddenly realise, "Chaturs" wouldn't need a canteen to spend time bunking lectures.Hangouts:

It's Koramangala guys! Innumerable eateries, fancy restaurants, expensive restaurants, cheap restaurants, coffee day outlets, chocolate shops, bakeries, juice stalls, ice cream parlours, malls with multiple screen theatres, everything can be found really close to the college. But only if you could someone at the college to hang around with :(Festivals:

None. Half the time college authorities are not supportive, half the time students aren't too keen.Placements:

Plain average. Two to three mass recruiters (read IT companies) visit the campus and swallow in about 200-220 students from a batch size of 500 and that's pretty much it.

Verdict:

Look for better colleges if you don't fall under "Chatur's" category.
