Mr. G. Viswanathan, a former Parliamentarian and Minister in the Government of Tamil Nadu promoted this institute as Vellore Engineering College in the year 1984 under the auspicious of the North Arcot Educational and Charitable Trust. The Vellore Engineering College was then affiliated to Madras University and offered three undergraduate engineering courses namely Civil, Mechanical and Electronics and Communication. The constant support and effort by the Management, Faculty, Students, and Parents led the college to grow in both quantitatively and qualitatively. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Government of India, has ensured accreditation of all the courses offered at the college by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), Government of India. The exceptional standards maintained at the college enabled to fetch "A" grade for all the courses.
As early as in 1999, Vellore Engineering College was awarded the ISO 9002 certificate for three years by the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) of the Netherlands. It was the first educational institute in India to achieve this recognition.
The academic excellence, visionary management, exceptional faculty, disciplined students, and highly performing alumni made it possible to get "Deemed University" status by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India, in June 2001. The founder Mr. G. Viswanathan has become the Chancellor. The Deemed University status enabled the institute to have academic freedom and hence the quality of the programme has increased dramatically making us to grow in size also.
Vellore Institute of Technology today profoundly known as VIT, comprises seven schools offering 17 undergraduate programmes and 28 post graduate programmes. It also offers research programmes leading to M.Phil and Ph.D degrees. Of the 10, 000 students studying in the institute, nearly one fourth of them are women. Nearly 400 fulltime faculty members and about 600 administrative and supporting staff facilitates the students to become not only professional but also employable thereby contributing wealth to the nation. The international linkages established by the institute helps the students to get global education and training locally and if needed globally also.
The campus spread over 250 acres is located on the Ranipet - Katpadi Road at Vellore, a district headquarters town between the two important cities of Chennai (formerly Madras) and Bangalore (known as the Silicon Valley of the South Asia). Well furnished hostels accommodate two third of the student population. The strategic location of the institute adds value to the education by constant interaction with near by industries.
