is it worth taking ece branch at vit vellore with category 5 fees ?

Dear Hemmanna,

Hope you and your family is safe during this pandemic situation.

Vit(vellore) is a good university and for ece it is worth. It has best facilities like labs and all but the category 5 fee is 3.95 lakh per annum deducted with scholarship. In my point of view  it is heavy amount to pay that much of fee for that. As your parents are well settle and financial good means you can select thus Institute but your parents are financial not good means you can select another Institute.

At last there is no difference in education for students of different categories the only difference is of fees.Even though you are paying high fee also once you are step in the Institute all are equal. I mean the education is same.

Hope this information is helpful to your bright future

Hey Achinthya

I will brief you about ECE at VIT Vellore so that you yourself can decide if it is worth the fees you will be paying.

Some students have complained that this year they could not get any placement even after having a cgpa of above 8 (mostly because of lockdown by the government).BARC and ISRO are the only PSUs taking ECE people in large numbers since most PSUs prefer MTech people over BTech (then there is resservation too). As per most students the course curriculum is outdated and not relevant for the placement point. It used to be a great branch but as you may know the deamnd has shifted towards IT and CSE now(hence I will recommend you to  join a college where you can get any of these two subjects).

Also, the course and the attendence etc will prove to be too strict and a hindrance (if you want to clear GATE). Most of the things will be based on your efforts rather than the efforts of faculty.
