I have got CS core in VIT Vellore. I know many VITians who are doing much better professionally than some of their IIT/NIT counterparts. VIT CS labs are very advanced, I have heard. Many 98+percentilers in JEE Mains are in VIT CS. Placements are good. Despite this why is there a general notion that if an institute is private (barring BITS) it's not as good as a govt. institute.
Ans: Hello dear.
You're right to question the common perception, and your insights about VIT Vellore’s CS program are grounded in reality. The Computer Science department at VIT Vellore is among the strongest in private engineering colleges, with advanced lab facilities. Many top JEE Main percentilers (even above 98) choose VIT. Several VITians have gone on to have excellent careers, sometimes even outperforming their IIT/NIT counterparts largely because of their individual initiative, internships, and skill-building. IT, especially if they narrowly miss out on NITs or prefer the modern infrastructure and course flexibility that VIT offers.
Despite these strengths, private colleges in India often face bias. This stems from the legacy and prestige of government institutions like IITs/NITs, which admit students through highly competitive exams and are seen as more merit-driven. In contrast, private colleges are sometimes viewed as less rigorous or overly reliant on high fees and donations, leading to skepticism about their quality.
However, this perception is slowly changing, especially in CS and tech fields where practical skills matter more than college branding. For motivated students, VIT CS offers a strong foundation and the opportunity to build a successful career. Ultimately, outcomes depend more on individual effort than the institution’s name.

Good luck.
