How is chemical in VNIT Nagpur? Does students get nice placements?
The B.Tech Chemical program at VNIT offers a good faculty and decent placements.
The Chemical department performs really well in competitive exams like GATE, GRE etc. As for placements, both core and non core companies bring job offers. The list of recruiters includes core companies like Reliance, Exxon mobil and L&T limited, and non-core companies like fidelity, GEP, Quantiphi and ZS associates. All the visiting companies are highly reputed.
Apart from the names already mentioned, Godrej Chemicals, Pidilite, Jubilant, Reliance Petrochemicals, Reliance Industries, etc. also visit the campus during placement season.
However, the Chemical Department suffers from a few drawbacks. These are the non-working labs, lack of transparency in case of feedback, and too much authority.
In Spite of these shortcomings, the Chemical department of VNIT Nagpur is good. You’ll be offered decent facilities and placement during your B.Tech Chemical from this college.
How are the placements for architecture at VNIT Nagpur?
The reason why Architecture students aren’t placed in non core jobs is because they don’t usually sit for them. Apart from that, no Architecture firms visit the campus for placements. Some Architecture students try for off campus jobs in their domain, while others start their own firm and do business.
Thus, mostly Architecture students either approach companies on their own, or become entrepreneurs.

What are the facilities in the VNIT Nagpur campus?
VNIT Nagpur, like other NITs, is an Institute of National Importance.
It is located in Nagpur, so you can easily access all the basic facilities from there. But as far as campus facilities are concerned, they are very poor.
Both the college canteens available for Engineering students are kept in an unhygienic condition. Only a few of the menu items are actually available, and this is the situation at all times. A single playground is available for all the college students. So during inter-NIT practices, one can not possibly play one’s favorite sports over there.
The Badminton and TT courts however, are quite well developed. Other than that, the college campus is well maintained and covered in greenery. The Health Center within the campus is open for students, without any extra charges. An ambulance is also provided by the college in the health center. The maintenance fee for the center is included within the college fee.
In spite of the various shortcomings, you’ll enjoy your time at VNIT, especially the hostel life.
Which is better for mechanical, VNIT Nagpur or SVNIT Surat and why?
I am a student of B.Tech Mechanical at VNIT Nagpur, so I can’t tell you anything about the Mechanical at SVNIT.
VNIT has a good reputation for its Mechanical. Most of the renowned alumni of our college are from this branch. Here’s a few of their names- Dr. Dinesh Keskar (President of Boeing India and VP of Boeing International Trading), Ashish Saraf (Vice President at Airbus), Hemant Karkare, Satyendra Pakhale and Sanjay Joshi. The faculty for Mechanical is good, and the department offers good lab facilities as well. The senior- junior interaction is also good at the department.
Though I do not know much about SVNIT, I expect that its Mechanical department must be at par with the one at VNIT. Do a thorough research before deciding between either of the colleges.

How is the life of a metallurgical engineer at VNIT Nagpur?
In reality, VNIT Nagpur does not stand up to its reputation. Being a student of Metallurgy at VNIT, I can shed some light on the life of students in my department-
- I was told that the Metallurgy department of VNIT Nagpur is very famous, and among the best in India. However, in reality, many people don’t even recognize the name of VNIT, and refer to the college as VRCE.
- The schedule of Metallurgy students is busy, with lack of free time for entrance preparation. Those who can’t mug things up, face a hard time getting decent grades.
- Though metallurgy has lots of scope for research, the faculty only focuses on homeworks and journals, rather than encouraging research aptitude among the students.
- The faculty is very educated and experienced, but they put no dedication towards creating talented engineers like themselves.
- The college doesn’t offer good placements and good opportunities for Metallurgy graduates. Thus, one has to give up and try finding jobs in other sectors.
- The one advantage is that some professors of the department are student friendly.
Based on my experience, I would say that the life of metallurgy students isn’t good at VNIT Nagpur.
How is VNIT Nagpur metallurgy?
VNIT Nagpur has one of the best Metallurgy Departments in India. The college offers a good campus, and Nagpur is a pleasant city to live in.
The department faculty is good, and labs are well-equipped. The problem lies in the branch, and not the college. The requirement of metallurgists is low in India. Because of this, the scenario is poor for core metallurgy placements.
Tata Steel and JSW do not recruit B.Tech Metallurgy students from VNIT. However, non core companies come in and fill the gap. Brands like Capgemini, L&T Infotech, etc. give equal opportunities to B.Tech Metallurgy students.
VNIT Nagpur offers very few core placements in Metallurgy. However, it offers a decent faculty and other facilities to its B.Tech Metallurgy students.
How is EEE branch in VNIT, Nagpur?
In comparison to MNNIT, MANIT and other colleges with similar cutoffs, VNIT Nagpur is better for B.Tech Electrical.

The department records good placements, and brands like Siemens, Reliance, Bajaj, Pepsico, SunPharma, etc. visit for recruiting B.Tech EEE students. Sometimes, PSUs also visit the department for placements.Core companies offer around 6 LPA and PSUs offer around 17 LPA (including allowances) to B.Tech EEEstudents. Many IT companies visiting the campus are open for EEE students.
The campus life and college environment are good, and various events take place throughout the year. There are numerous clubs on campus.
Thus, VNIT Nagpur is a good option for B.Tech EEE.
