What is the scope for mechanical engineering students from VIT Vellore?

There is plenty of scope. Let me break it up.

• Placements

Anik Ganguly’s answer to Is joining VIT Vellore’s mechanical engineering program a good choice in terms of salary package?

This is an answer I had given about the placements in 2016–2017. So you can follow it.

• Higher studies.

You need to maintain a CGPA on the higher side for this (>8.5). You also need to write GRE. Provided you get a decent score, there are plenty of opportunities. Many of my friends have gotten into places like TU Delft, Georgia Tech, Purdue, etc etc.. If you are willing to work hard and have developed an area of interest, I think you can easily get into the university of your choice.

You can also give Gate, if going abroad for your masters does not appeal to you.
