VIT University -Details, Ranking, Cutoff & Placements 2018-19

VIT is always a very hot topic of debate. At one side as far as rankings go it is one of the top private colleges in the country. But it also has a lot of negative feedback, with people claiming that VIT pays money to get its rankings. (See this article about the “negative side” of VIT) If we look at engineering colleges rankings released by different agencies, VIT is present under top 10 engineering colleges of India

While the IITs continue to dominate the top 10 slots, IIT Kanpur upstages IIT Delhi to reclaim its position as the country’s best engineering college. BITS, Pilani and VIT University, Vellore are the only 2 private institutions among the top 10. As can be seen from the list, VIT has actually moved up in rankings. But it is surprising and downright hilarious that IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi and IIT Madras do not even feature in this list! Therefore it does not come across as very reliable. One of the reasons is that sometimes institutes do not submit their data/applications to such rankings bodies. The other reason, perhaps is better guessed at than said aloud.

With IIT Mumbai leading the pack, followed by IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee, VIT university along with BITS Pilani are the only private institutions to make it to the top 10.

Again, it is very strange that BITS Pilani, which is at number 3 in the previous survey, doesn’t even reach this list.
