Distinguished Alumni
“There were so many good things about my time at VKIT, including how fantastically knowledgeable my teachers were and how giving of their time. The best thing about the College was being part of a supportive environment, where everyone is focused, help each other and you are encouraged to succeed as individuals. The 4 years spent at VKIT were splendid and has helped me to grow better professionally and personally. As far as the placements are concerned, enough opportunities are provided to every student and it is up to the individual how you take it. I am really lucky and proud to have been a part of this institution not only because I got placed in "TechMahindra" and "Retail On" but also because of the things I have learned over there. I am eternally grateful to each and every one who was a part of this beautiful journey”.

It takes a big heart to help shape little minds. The future of mankind lies not in the hands of new technological inventions and scientific breakthroughs. It lies in the hands of ambitious teachers like you, because that’s where it all starts from.. Always grateful to VKIT for guiding me throughout the academics – being the strongest foundation for my career life. Special thanks to Department of CSE for making me what I am. My success is always dedicated to each of the Teaching and non-teaching staffs of the Department”

“We all have high aims and higher ambitions. Whatever we are today might be completely our efforts but it would not exist without the teachers. Just like how the Soccer ball cannot land inside the goal unless it has been pushed to do so, in our life we need a little push to reach our goals. Only teachers like you can make it happen. The root of all of this begins from the college. Destiny might have brought us here but college is the one that taught us and guided us. This is the place where it all began, the foundation for a career, the guidance to achieve success and enhance the knowledge. VKIT is where it all started and it has taught us many things. My special gratitude is for the Department of CSE for devising me to who I am today. I extend my gratitude to all of the Teaching and non-teaching staffs for making me successful.”

“My four years at Vivekananda Institute of Technology are memorable. CSE department is one of the best departments in the campus. All the faculties being friendly and supportive in studies, extra-curricular activities, placement activities and many more. Technical talks and workshops conducted by various speakers from a lot of different companies, helped students to, be aware and be updated about growing technology. ‘iTACS’ - an association formed in CSE department helped students enjoy and learn many technical stuffs by conducting regular events every week like Technical quizes, Coding and Debugging etc on thursday. ““I would like to thank all the teaching and non-teaching staffs in Vivekananda Institute of Technology for making me who I am today.” -- Praveen K S Teligenz Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd Bangalore.
