VIT

Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) acquires international acclaim. The University sets the record, as three of the subjects made way to the prestigious Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject 2019. Three subject areas of VIT -- Computer Science and Information System, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Chemistry were ranked within the top 550 Universities of the world.  

While the two engineering subject areas were ranked within the top 500 universities of the world, Chemistry emerged in the top 550 universities of the world.  It may be noted that QS is an international ranking agency that takes ‘h index’ and citations of research publications as criteria for subject ranking, besides perception about the subject areas by academic and industry leaders. The subject ranking indicates the strength of the research output of a University in terms of both quality and quantity.  

The management of VIT expects at least three more disciplines from the University to be ranked by QS in the upcoming days. “Subjects in VIT are research oriented; they are on par with global standards. The up-to-date curriculum and effective teaching-learning process enhance the knowledge of the students,” said Dr. Sekar Viswanathan, Vice President, VIT.
