VIT as a centre of higher learning, envisages itself to be a living and learning
community comprised of students, scholars and professionals. Such an ambience
should provide all the "inmates" (especially the students) with holistic and wide-
ranging education that encompasses knowledge gained from within and outside
the classroom. Such an ambience should facilitate students’ aspirations for high

intellectual and professional achievements, maintain and uphold high ethical and
moral standards. We help our students develop lifelong habits for physical, mental
and social health, and cultivate their appreciation for arts, humanities and the
environment. This exercise should always be entrained with instilling a sense of
commitment and devotion to serving the society and the humanity at large.
Keeping these in mind, VIT offers diverse resources for the mind, body and soul,
and enough flexibility for students to explore them in their own distinctive way.

Affording exposure to excellent opportunities has been central to VIT’s
strategic plan towards creation of ideal ambience. VIT is moulding its academic
atmosphere in such a way as to encourage the students to take the initiative in
inquiry-based active learning and peer mentoring. To achieve this goal, VIT has
introduced a Curriculum for Applied Learning (CAL) system which has more
project component than the conventional class room teaching/learning system.
The “J” component embedded in the CAL system offers excellent opportunities
for the students to take up individual studies (projects) or in unison with their
peers. The excellent infrastructure (which VIT is known for) will add to the
students’ confidence and competency levels.
