VIT's Chemical Engineering degree is highly regarded as it offers the best chemical engineering degree in the entire state.
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.
Rarely do companies like Google and Microsoft visit VIT Pune for placements. They have made a few visits in the past and then recruited only the best students. These companies set fixed criteria for marks while shortlisting students.
So, your main goal should be to get good marks.Only then can you attract such companies.
VIT Pune is a much better choice than SGGS. I have a friend in SGGS who shared its pros and cons that might help you make a better decision.
Pros
Cons
I will suggest you join VIT Pune as it seems to offer better opportunities and exposure than SGGS.
I will shed some light on the placements for B.Tech Mechanical at VIT Pune-
The placement figures aren’t very promising. 26.4% students were placed from B.Tech Mechanical 2022. Many students aren’t eligible for the placements due to backlogs or low CGPA. Some companies require a minimum of 60-65% in 10th, 12th and graduation.
Many don’t opt for placements. Instead, they prepare for UPSC or opt for higher studies.These factors contribute to the low placement percentage. The average package stands at around 4-5 LPA. During 2022 placements, the highest package was INR 9LPA, and the average package was INR 4.77 LPA.
The companies mostly come seeking sales engineers, very few come for design engineers. Some offer different profiles in a production plant.
For B.Tech Mechanical, VIT Pune is the next best option after COEP/VJTI. However, the placement figures aren’t very promising.
It’s better to rent a flat/room than to live in the VIT College hostel. The hostel has bate minimum facilities whereas living in a room/flat muli cons avail as many facilities as you want. Although the girls hostel is pretty good, the old boys hostel is a big disappointment. The hostels are also far from the campus. So considering the cost of living, a flat or room is always affordable.
Additionally, if you stay in a hostel you will have to adhere to the curfew timings so you may not get the chance to attend the night practices, activities, club events, or functions. This won’t be the case if you choose to stay in a flat.
Except for the safety offered to the students in the hostel, you won’t find anything better than staying in a room. So choose wisely!

Although both VIT Pune and VU Pune are run by the same trust BRACT, both are completely different colleges. VU is a relatively new college whereas VIT Pune is an old college established around 1986 with a rich legacy. VIT Pune is well-known for its excellent placement record whereas CU Pune is quite lacking in this aspect. VIT Pune has a well-versed faculty with an updated curriculum. It also offers a vibrant campus life with many fests. VU Pune has a bigger campus.
In all, VIT Pune is a better choice than VU Pune.
Firstly you need to determine the department you are interested in. You can choose between branches like CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, and EE as per your inclinations.
Apart from scoring more than 50% in your PCM class 12th, you also have to appear in any exam MHT-CET OR JEE Mains. Then You need to apply through DTE’s CAP rounds.
Hope this helps you!
The first step is to determine if you are interested in electronics or computers. However, you also need to consider the chances of getting a job. The perk of picking electronics over computers is that you can learn the trending programming language and get a job easily which, ultimately, most of the computer science students will also end up getting the same.
VIT would be a far superior overall college than VIIT. Although VIIT students are also allowed to sit with VIT during placements some companies don’t allow them to sit for placements. Choosing CS will make it impossible to take up jobs that are in the core electronics domain.
Overall, I feel VIT Electronics is better than VIIT CS any day.
