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. 

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-

1. The placement figures are very average. B.Tech CS records 100% (or close to 100%) placements, but its average package is less in comparison to other NITs.
2. The hostels are in a poor condition, especially girls’ hostels. The hostel staff is not supportive at all.
3. Hostel messes serve poor quality food.
4. The administration is not student friendly. 

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-

1. VNIT has the highest hostel fee among all IITs and NITs, and it increases every 1-2 years.
2. The college administration is not responsible or student friendly at all. 
3. The student council simply communicates official orders from the administration to students.This is because its members are selected by the administration itself.
4. The clubs aren’t provided proper funds. Even the tech and cultural fest aren’t financially supported by the college.
5. M.Tech placements are very poor because the professors do not permit industrial training.
6. The Training and Placement Cell charges extra money, other than the TnP charges mentioned by the college. 
7. The professors are allotted subjects of which they don’t even have an expertise.
8. No leaves are given for internships at prestigious universities like CMU, MIT, and Stanford.
9. The refundable caution money is not given back. 

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.

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.
