All branches at VIT Vellore — 8 BTech programmes
VIT Vellore offers 8 engineering programmesacross its BTech offering. Below is each branch with the standard programme name and a short description. NIRF does not publish branch-level placement breakdowns, so we don't fabricate them — institute-wide numbers are on the placements page.
Computer Science Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering
Core programme covering algorithms, systems, software engineering, AI/ML, and theory of computation. Consistently the most placement-active branch at most Indian engineering colleges.
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering
Covers analog and digital electronics, signal processing, communication systems, and VLSI. Recruiters span semiconductor design, telecom, and core tech.
Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering
Foundational engineering discipline — thermodynamics, design, manufacturing, robotics. Core engineering and automotive recruiters dominate placement drives.
Electrical Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering
Power systems, control systems, electrical machines, and increasingly intersecting with electronics and embedded systems.
Chemical Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering
Process engineering, reactor design, plant operations. Strong placement pipeline into oil and gas, FMCG manufacturing, and chemicals.
Civil Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering
Structures, geotechnical, transportation, environmental engineering. Public-sector and infrastructure recruiters dominate the placement mix.
Information Technology
Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology
Sibling programme to CSE with a stronger applied-software bent. Placement mix mirrors CSE — heavy tech-services and product engineering presence.
Biotechnology
Bachelor of Technology in Biotechnology
Biological engineering, bioprocess engineering, biopharma. Placement pool is typically narrower — strong with pharma R&D and CDMOs.
A note on branch-level placement data
NIRF publishes institute-level placement data (rate, median package, highest offer, top recruiters) — not branch-level breakdowns. Branch-wise placement numbers vary by year and methodology; we don't reproduce them unless the institute itself publishes them. See our methodology for the full data-sourcing policy.
