Vellore Institute of Technology Online

To make innovative higher technical education accessible to everyone, the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) was founded in 1984. The innovative teaching-learning practices of VIT have been spread in the different parts of the country through their campuses known by the names of VIT-Bangalore, VIT-Andhra Pradesh, VIT-Bhopal, & VIT-Chennai. 

As all of these institutional wings are established by VIT, thus, they all are approved by University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) & the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India. Moreover, the 17th rank in the overall category & 11th rank in the Engineering category in NIRF 2023 Rankings & a NAAC A++ grading has established the reputation of VIT in technical education.

VIT-Bangalore is an institutional wing of VIT that is renowned for providing 1+1 master’s programs in the technical field. In both of these categories, learners get to study for one year at VIT-Bangalore’s campus & the international university partner in the second year. 

The names of the esteemed international university partners of this institution include Binghamton University (SUNY), Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Michigan - Dearborn, & University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

The programs offered by this institution consist of two major categories of Master of Science (MS) & Master of Professional Studies (MPS). The MS programs help you upgrade yourself with a master’s degree that can be pursued right after your graduation without any mandate for prior work experience. 

Besides, the MPS programs are specially designed for working professionals & incorporate technicalities that must be known by professionals to excel in their careers. The specialization range offered in the online mode of these courses involves Information Security, Data Science, & Cyber Security.

VIT-B offers financial support in the aspect of education loans or EMI facilities. This facility applies to all the programs offered by this institution & gives you the pride of financing your higher education. In the case of the 1+1 master’s program, this education loan facility applies only to the first year of the program which is taken care of solely by VIT-B but in the second year, where the international university partner comes into the picture, the terms & conditions get altered. However, the partner university also provides several scholarships & financial aid that can be confirmed from their official web page.

The evaluation pattern of VIT-B follows a continuous learning system that makes the entire learning process of the programs quite engaging. With some interactive internal assessments like quizzes, assignments, projects, etc. you get to understand the implementations of the theoretical concepts learned in the course. On the other hand, the term-end examinations are used to judge the overall understanding of the topics in a particular session. The final result of the student is decided after cumulating the grades in the internal assessments & term-end examinations.
