One of my brothers had appeared for the examination at Vignan University. Here are some things I got to know from him about the marks required to get a seat at Vignan University.

• To get admission at Vignan University, you must have at least 60% marks in the V-SAT/EAMCET/JEE. However it will only ensure a seat in the college, but not the preferred branch. 
• As at this percentage, you will face limitations to choose their preferred branch. 
• If you score good then the university may offer you the most popular and in-demand branch i.e. ECE and CSE. 
• If the marks are less, then the seats may be provided to the higher scorer which in result makes your stream choice limited. 
• Thus, if you want your choice of branch, then you are supposed to score more marks in V-SAT/EAMCET/JEE. 
• Once score higher marks then the students can choose their desired branch at the counseling round. 

Furthermore, there are other ways to get your seat for the desired branch and that is the Management quota. The management quota/category-B can help you with getting a preferred branch but it costs more than the normal fees. 

All the private universities in India, except maybe 2–3, are trying their level best to establish themselves and Vignan is no exception. If you are considering joining the university then you should know the following. 

• Fees are high so plan well before joining. For a 4-year long B.Tech, the total course fee is around 9 lakhs. 
• Second, the syllabus keeps getting updated each year. This makes covering the syllabus, a bit tricky. 
• The same faculty will set the question paper so I think getting through with good grades won't be an issue.

Finally, you should join biotech only if you wish to study MS abroad. Otherwise, don’t join the institute. 

Vignan University, by all means, is better than VVIT. Here are some of the reasons why. 

• The faculty of the institute is cooperative. There are also upgraded lab amenities and research facilities. 
• The hostels are well maintained with the provision of hygienic food facilities. 
• The library, generally called Dr. Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao Library, has good collections of significant books. 
• The campus has good sports facilities. The admin blocks are well kept, with centralized air conditioning and upgraded lab facilities. 
• The main cultural event, called Mahotsav, is conducted every year. Besides, there are other events organized usually once every 2 to 3 months. 
• The college timings extend from 8 A.M to 3.30 P.M for B.Tech students. The timings, however, are different in the case of MBA and M.Tech students. 
• You need to keep 75% attendance. However, it can drop to 65% in case of medical emergencies. But, if it declines less than 65%, you can face detainment. 
• The placements of the institute are good for the CSE or IT streams and Management courses. Students receive an average CTC of 3.5 LPA. You can join NCC, NSS, SAC, and the Entrepreneurial Cell. 
• The infrastructure of the institute is quite good. There are wifi facilities, seminar halls with upgraded technologies. 

Hence, Vignan is definitely several steps ahead of VVIT. 

It does have a reimbursement option if you have a good EAMCET rank, only then will you be given the opportunity to avail it. My cousin was allowed fee reimbursement. This is how it works:

Also, if you're bright enough and are among the top 5% in your department, then you will be granted an opportunity to avail scholarship from the university as well. Keep yourself updated by checking the official website, to know the changes in fee reimbursement and the scholarship granting Processes.
