Strong Partnership with Industry and International Institutions
VIT considers its partnership with industry and international institutions as the
defining element of its strategic plan. It has developed exceptional relationship
with the Indian and the multinational organizations in every segment of
industry. Starting with its partnership with Tata and Mahindra in Automotive,
WIPRO and Accenture in the Information Technology, Honeywell and HCL
in Electronics and Communication, and others, VIT has built an elaborate
network of industry partners. This partnership has contributed to the
development of a curriculum that is most responsive to the needs of industry,
and has assured outstanding placement for VIT’s graduates.
Very similar to industry partnership, VIT’s partnership with the international
institutions is set to define the global role for the university for a long time to
come. With projects for students, study abroad programs and faculty exchange
arrangements with more than 160 universities worldwide, VIT has prepared
itself to compete globally. Through partnerships with premier universities such
as Purdue and MIT in the USA, Australian National University, Mmbrara
University and the Guangdong University in the other parts of the world, VIT
has established an outstanding academic partner network. Hundreds of
international students and faculty study on campus at VIT while an equal
number of VIT students and faculty go to foreign universities for higher
studies and research.
World Class Infrastructure
VIT is distinct and well known among the academic institutions in India for its
academic infrastructure. In addition to exceptional facilities such as excellent
classrooms, laboratories, and library, the university has built up a campus
infrastructure that can match well with those in the developed countries. On-

carry out research and to experience a vibrant cultural atmosphere are among
the features of our infrastructure.

teaching has helped VIT gain ABET accreditation. High quality research
