    College Infrastructure

    VIT, Vellore is known for its lavish infrastructures and widely green campus. It has been building more new sprawling buildings and hostels in the recent times. For eg: the new girl's hostels are nothing short of a hotel with all the necessary and extra facilities and equipment a college student can want. VIT is known for its research labs as well, here all the labs are heavily equipped with expensive machines needed to run data for various kinds of experiments. Hostel food is okay to moderate.

    I am looking forward to go back to college and live my life.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is amazing. We have the best classrooms and laboratories with quality equipments. It's a clean place with tasty and hygienic food. The library is even open during the night. Hostel is a safe place for both boys and girls.
