Hello, I'm from VIT and I've noticed quite a few threads with posters who seem bent on maligning my institute - posters who have no idea, who've never been to VIT and those who repeat the same lies which have been passed on from one person to another without anyone bothering to verify these claims.







I wouldn't have started this thread, but a friend of mine notified me of the alarming rate at which the number of prospective candidates were dwindling because of these rumours. My message to the students who were dissuaded from joining - Do not make a foolish decision guided by students who aren't in VIT in the first place. What do they know of the institute they've never been in the first place? One year ago I was in your position. The rumours at that time were of all kinds ranging from how 200 girls got pregnant to 40% of the students are drug addicts. Such nonsense! If VIT was really a college of which provided education of inferior quality, what would be the need to start such rumours? The poor education would be enough to turn the students away.. why these lies?







Regarding bribing India Today: are you really stupid enough to believe that you can bribe a national level magazine without taking any risk? The slightest slip and VIT wouldn't even BE in the list let alone get ranked. Think about it. VIT was ranked at 14 last year.. this year it's at 10. Is it because we paid extra? Heck no! I've been there the whole time.. I've seen the efforts the management took to put it where it belongs.







As a final request - verify your claims before you post them. It would be better for everyone if you posted what YOU found and not repeat what some liar has told over and over again. To the people who aren't attending the counselling even if they got ranks.. think again. You're missing a great chance.











 

BITS didn't participate. It didn't last year too. Why?

I've already said the bribe argument is too risky to be implemented. A college with VIT's reputation cannot afford to take the risk.

You find good and bad teachers everywhere. Find me one college in India where this isn't true. While a few of them may not be good, you cannot overlook the good teachers. How do you know that the average brilliance of a student in CEC is higher than that of VIT? Did your friend tell you? Did he personally conduct IQ test at Vellore and Coimbatore?

Irrespective of the marks obtained.. the ranks will be the same. I get more marks than you: I have a better rank.

This is a private engineering college. Not all seats will be given through the rank. The VIT people call you to give you ranks? You'll be lucky if your call gets through and lasts for more than a minute. Don't expect yourself to get away with a lie. The people here might not be able to see through your posts. But I can - I'm from the college. Yeah, the management slogged to get the rank. I saw it myself for a year. What did you see? Rather what did you hear?

I've already mentioned that BITS didn't participate. I request you to read my other posts before replying and it's easily comparable to the NITS, if it isn't already better. I don't know about BITS, but NITS for sure...

Maybe you're right and VIT may not deserve the tenth rank. But what do you mean we can't mention it in the same breath as the colleges you've mentioned. Did God himself come down and lay down the foundation stone for these colleges? Blessing them to be unsurpassed for eternity? Colleges change.. things improve. You have to accept progress.

if vit is devoted to students' education it won't charge so much 

Dude stop foolling yourself and other people on this forum . In the fobes ranking for the year 2008 VIT is not even in the first 70 colleges . In the first 20 places are the 7 iit's , ism , bhu , then comes 8 nit's  , and bits and dce and nsit. Fobes is considered the best and the most reliable ranking  world over..

You are saying that vit is comparable to NITS then let me tell u that i myself am a student of NIY rourkela which is con sidered just an average NIT and is below NITs at trichy , warangal ,  surutkal , jaipur , bhopal  and i have seen vit also   last yer as i by mistake attended the counsllig and i am sure about the fact that vit is no ware comparable to nit rourkela in any respect forget abt comparing to other nits which i have mentioned..
