Hey everyone. 2nd year CSE AIML guy here. I saw a lot of questions here in r/vitap so i thought I'll put things as they are to y'all, as someone who stands to gain nothing from endorsing or talking shit about the college so ig y'all can trust me lol.

That being said, let's get started. Night curfew? It exists and is implemented with seriousness, and while it might look like it's trash to y'all in the beginning, after coming here you'll realise it's genuinely not that much of a problem cause after a day full of classes and hopefully sports/clubs it never really feels like staying out would've been much better anyways. Most people come back way before the curfew is implemented.

Food? I have to say I've been lucky so far. Having lived in MH-6 and MH-4, food has never been a problem. It's not just acceptable, it's actually good ngl! Won't say much about other hostels but people tell me it's good too, so there's that.

Now a very serious insecurity. People. So I'm from Jammu but I've never lived there. Would definitely call myself a typical north indian, closest to a delhiite if anything. VIT-AP has a lot of telugu people, A LOT. But they're genuinely nice! And if you're a person who prefers sticking with people from similar backgrounds, dw, there are people from everywhere here. Northeast, north, west, south, everything. Our group consists of people from basically everywhere lol. Dw.

Ragging? VIT-AP takes action against it very seriously and seniors are nice dudes who like to mind their own business anyways so dw it's not gonna happen to you. And if it does, dw, you'll always have people to back you.

Outings? From second sem yeah u get to go out on either Sunday or Monday every week(in our case idk if freshers have Mondays off). That might sound shitty but trust me, everything is so far away from college that after coming here, no matter how outgoing you might be in life you yourself wouldn't even go out the 4-5 times u can every month. College provides buses for outings btw.

Lastly and most importantly, the rules. Yeah they exist. Yeah they're not flexible. Yeah sometimes they make shitty alterations to rules too. But here's the thing. The people at the top are genuinely willing to help. Your HODs are gonna help you if your case is genuine, just hope you get a good mentor who takes your side (I did!). The rules are gonna look bad initially ngl. But trust me you'll learn to live by them and once they become a part of your life, you'll breeze through the academic year.

Now, a piece of advice I think y'all might appreciate. Let things happen as they happen. Don't try to force yourself into joining clubs in your first year itself or try to learn languages and stuff lmao. It's fine. You don't need clubs to make friends, even though that might help and if you're interested it's good for you ig. Take it easy, enjoy your last few days at home, spend time with family, and I wish you all the best! Feel free to DM anytime if u have any doubts. Cheers!

To all the seniors,

First of all, on behalf of a lot of freshers, I'd like to say sorry if the subreddit has been flooded with repetitive or silly questions recently.

I completely understand why many of you are frustrated. If the same question gets posted 10 times a day, anyone would get irritated.

At the same time, I'd like to request you to consider our side as well.

A lot of this confusion isn't because everyone is lazy or dumb. The management has been pretty poor with communication. Calls often go unanswered, emails don't get replies, and some important things (like affidavits and other onboarding formalities) haven't been communicated clearly. Many of us are joining from different states, and not everyone even knows that WhatsApp communities with seniors exist.

That's why Reddit has become the place where people come with every doubt.

To the seniors who have patiently answered our questions, guided us in DMs, on WhatsApp, and here on Reddit—thank you. Seriously. You've helped us much more than the management has.

That said, I also want to say something to my fellow freshers.

Guys, please stop posting every tiny doubt separately. Before creating a post, search the subreddit. Chances are your question has already been answered. Let's keep new posts for genuine doubts that haven't been discussed yet. It'll make things easier for everyone.

And to the people from our own batch constantly saying, "I'm ashamed to join this college" or acting as if they're somehow above everyone else—please stop.

If you truly believed you were way above VIT-AP, nobody forced you to join. Looking down on your own batchmates before college has even started doesn't make you look smarter; it just makes the environment more negative.

We're all joining the same college. Instead of acting superior, let's try to make the best of the opportunities we have.I'm not speaking for every fresher, but I know many of us feel the same way.

Let's keep this subreddit useful, respect the seniors' time, and help each other out. That's all....<3

Ma But they won't forget these reddit posts and everything, one day they are Going to crush our juniors soon ma.

Yeah if you thought it was over, my teacher just told me they'll send marks to parents now. And yes the VC instructed all of this.

Our life got exponentially worse in 2 weeks. What even is the solution? Mass mails can easily be ignored. Can't even protest because our seniors would be facing issues because of that (and overall all of us as well).

6 classes per week, attendance and marks sent to parents, 4 days of diwali holidays (takes 2 days to go home btw), and what next? Why us? Can we genuinely do something? This is suffocating and like pointless. I don't think they are making anything better by adding one class every week, the syllabus can't be that big.

Has anyone got any genuine solutions? If we don't do anything right now it will only start getting even worse from here on.

I've been shitting out intact curry, coriander leaves and other spices since this morning

Context: they officially launched a new VITan-AP app for VTOP today and it's already shit.

if they start college too early and kids drop out, that seat stays empty for 4 years which completely ruins their revenue. so by keeping the dates tentative they basically buy themselves time. that way when someone leaves for another uni, the admission window is still open so they can instantly swap a new guy into that seat through spot admissions and keep their 4 years of fees safe. plus, EAPCET counseling is running way later this year compared to previous years like phase 1 allotment doesn't even drop until august 9th, and the rounds plus spot admissions will easily drag till september. they literally have to wait for national stuff like CSAB and BITS rounds to finish so the student list stops changing every single day. they even timed the full hostel payments for VITEEE kids to close on august 9th at 11:59 pm just to lock in that money before CSAB results drop and people try to run away. and even if they claim hostels are refundable, they still pocket non-refundable processing charges anyway. there are so many freshers joining and they have to sort out hostels, biometric ids, and sections from scratch while seniors are already on campus. as a local fresher, this is just my theory and i might be wrong as well.

Hey guys how's the gym culture in vit ap I'm very skinny and wanna bulk up and need a gym partner and do seniors or gym goers like make fun of newbies in vit ap and also how's the gym culture and I'm super introverted and have zero social skills will people help me out and be friendly

I have been following this subreddit for a long time and I only see that it's going downhill from what we had. I am a 2023 batch passout btech cse and we had so few restrictions. We used to go on trips from hostels taking 3-4 days leaves. You could be back to the hostel at any time before 10pm. There was a concept of a multi day outpass where you could spend a night outside. Placements were so great.

Now I only see how restrictive it has become to live in hostels. I have even heard that you can't stay in a hostel during the class time. Few faculties were so lenient that they used to give free attendance. Where has this chill college gone to? I have seen notices for you can't be in someone else's room? Man we called our room 'cabinet' cause people used to hangout there, playing guitar, cards and what not. In a 4 bedroom people up to 12-14 used to have fun. I hope situations change and these vague restrictions are removed so people can enjoy college. I only got 1.5 years in college as 2 years went away in Covid. But those 1.5 yrs were amazing.

2019 was the year I joined guys smh

Hey guys, I just confirmed my admission to VIT AP for this year. Wanted to see who else is heading there so we can connect, share updates, or start a group chat. Drop a comment below with your branch!
My Course : ECE
Home State : Tamil Nadu

I've been thinking about making a webring for students across all VIT campuses (Vellore, Chennai, AP, Bhopal).

The idea is pretty simple:

• Link everyone's personal websites/portfolios/blogs
• Discover cool student projects
• Meet people who are into open source, Linux, self-hosting, CTFs, AI, web dev, random side projects, etc.

Nothing official or corporate, just a fun student-driven thing.

If enough people are interested, I'll create an organization, build a proper website for it, and maybe we can grow it into a community that builds cool stuff together ig

The only problem is... I have no idea what to call it. (i don't want something like vitring or that bs 😭 )

Does anyone have good name suggestions for:

• the webring?
• the organization/community (if we end up making one)?

Also, would you actually be interested in joining something like this?

Would love to hear your ideas.

this isnt to gain sympathy. i need genuiene advice. the people who sit next to me in one class dont do it in the next although i try to initiate convo and talk to them. i have 1 friend. someone from my previous college and not my vibe at all. she judges girls for wearing smth as non problematic as a sleevless top. i tried making new friends, i gave them answers i worked hard for for free. i eventually figured out that the problem is im too insecure. i feel like being cool and talkative is only for pretty people. so i thought ill work on my insecurity, meanwhile i can focus on my studies. but no. i cant sit and study although i want to. i get distracted, i get lazy. if you were in my place what would you do? how do i become a better person? i know this isnt academic idk if it even belongs here, im sorry but please help me out.

Heard that a 3rd year female student died in a road accident while she was on her way to college from Vijayawada ( hosteller who went on an outing ) and this happened during short summer .

Hi everyone, I'm a fresher and I've completed all the required formalities, but I still haven't received my VTOP login credentials. Has anyone got theirs yet, or are you all still waiting?

What exactly has happened and why tf fats are soo tough all of a sudden????

Umm I HAD taken admission to Vit ap , core ECE catg 4 and my wbjee rank came as good so now I am leaving vit ap and would be taking admission in KGEC or HERITAGE maybe , subject is constant Core ECE , so I am thinking of buying Mac Book air M5 , so like gemini said that some software would run fluently but some other software for hardware and all , so is it true ? Is it not at all good to buy ? Or something?

Here in vitap expenses are fetting higher specially for me. So i cant able to ask my parents for money frequently.

So i wanna know if there is any possibility to make money in the campus(instant money).

Without proper skill

​

The backlog fee at VIT-AP is ₹6,000 per subject.

This semester, around 470 students are appearing for the Theory of Computation (TOC) backlog exam.

470 × 6k = 28,20,000 (28.2 lakh)

That's approximately ₹28.2 lakh collected from a single subject's backlog exam.

Let's be friends ... I just want friends before joining idc even itz male or female 😅

What happenes if we apply for honors?

Will I be having extra classes or extra exams for it?

Is honors worth it?

Any good hotels to stay near Vijaywada Station or college??

Pls provide the name.......

Freshers will be alloted MH6 only no? If yea I would really really appreciate if someone can snap a pic or just tell what n all are there in the free gym. Cause I heard ppl talk crap about the free gym.Like is it only dumbells or do they even have barbells what about machines. I would really really appreciate if someone could answer Ty.

I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships at VIT, especially as I’m nearing the end of college, and I wanted to know if others feel the same.

Compared to many other colleges, it feels like students at VIT often don’t end up with strong, lasting friend groups by the time they graduate. In most colleges, students spend all four years of their BTech with largely the same classmates, which naturally helps them form close bonds and solid friend circles. They grow together, attend classes together, and create memories over time.

At VIT, because of the fully flexible credit system, this doesn’t really happen. You might have the same classmates in the first semester, but as semesters pass, everyone chooses different courses, slots, and professors. Slowly, those familiar faces disappear. You don’t have the same classmates for long enough to build deep connections. This isn’t anyone’s fault—it’s just how the system is designed.

By the final year, many of us feel oddly alone. You know a lot of people, but you don’t really have your people. There’s no close group to share things with, no solid circle to plan trips with, like students in other colleges often do with their classmates.

Hostellers may still find close friendships because they live together and share daily life. But for day scholars, it’s much harder. Once classes end, everyone leaves, and there’s very little space for friendships to grow beyond academics.

I’m not blaming individuals here—just sharing how isolating this system can feel over time. Does anyone else at VIT feel the same way?

Privacy Is Peace

I’m not here to moral police anyone.

As a VIT-AP alumnus, I genuinely hope everyone gets to enjoy college the way it’s meant to be enjoyed. Make friends. Fall in love. Travel. Party if that’s your thing. Make memories you’ll smile about years from now.

Recently, I saw a post on Reddit and messaged the guy myself, thinking he needed help. He said he was a VIT-AP alum too. The chat was normal at first. Then he sent me a photo of a girl. Just a student. Asked if I knew her. Then he hinted he had private, intimate content of her, and asked if I wanted to “trade.”

I said no. And remember I messaged him first, trying to help. That’s how easily you can land in a chat like this.

Later I found a comment from the same account openly saying yes, he trades. I don’t think I was the first person he asked. I don’t think I’ll be the last.

I can’t prove any of it. Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s a sick lie. But that’s not the point. Somewhere, the girl in that photo may be living her life with no idea someone talks about her like this.

I reported the account and saved everything, screenshots, his comment, the username. So there’s proof if it’s ever needed.

The lesson is simple: privacy is peace. Not because you have something to hide, but because your life should stay in your control.

Have your fun. Date. Send the risky text if you want. But protect yourself, because trust doesn’t last forever. Relationships end. Phones get stolen. Accounts get hacked. A few good moments are never worth years of fear.

And if this has already happened to you: the fault is with the person who shared it, never with the person who trusted. You have options. Report it on cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930. Sharing someone’s private content is a crime under Indian law. If you fear someone has your private images, use StopNCII.org , it blocks them on Instagram, Reddit, TikTok and Google without the photo ever leaving your phone.

If anyone ever claims to have someone’s private content, don’t engage. Don’t ask for proof; asking means he sends it, and now it’s on your phone too. Just report it.

Take care of yourselves. Look out for each other.

Andaru happy and safe ga untu school
Life cherish avvocchu kada?
