In vit is taking additional learning worth?
Worth joining if you don't get into any good NIT, and of course IIT and BITS. But always aim higher. I think BITS entrance exams are yet to come. Do your best to get into BITS, because as far as I (being a student of VIT Chennai) know, there is a huge intellectual difference between students of BITS and VIT. Your overall exposure at BITS will be very good. As for VIT Chennai, many students find the campus life boring and monotonous. So if you are looking for a moderately good teaching (true for both campuses, vellore and chennai) along with good campus life (true for vellore), go for Vellore. Rules and Regulations at VIT Chennai are frustrating. Students are fined for every petty reason, minimum fine being Rs. 5000. In a way this helps maintain discipline at Chennai campus much more than the Vellore campus.
Just don't underestimate yourself, it is obviously good to get into a NIT, BITS or IIT than VIT. If you are going for VIT, go for Vellore campus, as it provides much better exposure than the Chennai campus.
