Current-ly, VIT has two campuses - one in Vellore and another in Chennai. New campuses at Amaravathi in Andhra Pradesh and at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh are in the offing. VIT has been consistently ranked among the best institutions of the coun-try, and is aspiring to emerge as a global leader. The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) of the MHRD, Government of India, has identified VIT as the best Private Engineering Institution in India. VIT offers bachelors, masters and research programmes in engineering, management, sciences and humanities includ-ing law. VIT is making rapid strides in research by increasing the quality and quantity of research publications. The Uni-versity grooms students for the challenges and demands of modern-day professional life through innovative initiatives such as Fully Flexible Credit System (FFCS), Curriculum for Applied Learning (CAL) and Project Based Learning (PBL). Ap-plication of classroom learning to real-life issues is at the core of education at VIT. With students from all the states of India and from more than 50 countries, the cosmopolitan VIT University provides an appropriate ambience for holistic learning and comfortable living.
