Its good. You wont have much freedom and will be charged brutally for disciplinary issues. I paid a total of 12000 because of such ‘issues’. Its getting worse year by year to be true.
However, I shouldn’t say its negative. College life is college life. Period. I can guarantee you’ll have loads of fun. You’ ll find people having similar interest to you however varied because probability is on your side . 😉
If you are a newbie I do hope you join VIT. Baring the IIT’s and some of the NIT’s , I think its on level terms with every other college in India. All the Best!
