For placements at VIT, a centralized process is followed for all its campuses (Vellore, Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, and Bhopal). While specific CGPA cutoffs can vary depending on the company, maintaining a good academic record is generally important. Some companies might have specific percentage criteria in 10th, 12th, UG, and PG levels, sometimes with considerations for study gaps. It's advisable to aim for a CGPA of 8.0 and above to increase eligibility for a wider range of companies. Strong technical skills, good projects, and internship experience can also significantly boost placement prospects.
The basic eligibility criteria for the B.Tech programs at VIT generally require candidates to have passed the 12th standard or equivalent with a minimum aggregate of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (50% for SC/ST and applicants from specific regions). Candidates appearing for their qualifying exams are also eligible to apply, provided they meet the criteria at the time of admission. For other programs like MBA or MCA, graduation with a minimum percentage is usually required, and some programs might also consider scores from national-level entrance exams.
