• 61.16.169.37 has not added any external link. If you had intended to add a link to BE and M.Tech, it should actually point to the college of engineering, which is already done in the article. Thanks. - Yogi July 6, 2005 23:20 (UTC)

• Need to proof read the article and see if any more info has to be added. - yogi July 6, 2005 12:20 (UTC)

• Initial article expanded. Wikify comment removed. Stub comment will be removed once article is complete. - yogi July 6, 2005 12:10 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Large portions of the 'Campus' and 'Student Life' sections need to be thoroughly edited for NPOV. At the moment it reads like an anti-Vellore diatribe: some of it may well be accurate, but sources need to be cited. --Nick Boalch ^?!? 15:08, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

This article has been subject to a lot of vandalism. I urge anyone making changes to please cite any sources. An article from the Washington Post may help resolve a few issues. - Yogi ^(talk) 06:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I cut a large section of the Campus section and all of the Student Life sections, while trying to tone down some of the promotional language at the same time. The link cited as evidence of the networking/wi-fi issues did not actually discuss anything of the sort, so I dropped it to the external links section. Anything that's verified can be restore, but it needs to be accompanied by citations to a source that supports it. --Michael Snow 21:50, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I have restored a some of parts of student life section with citations. In order to arrive at the conclusion of the inflexible course structure after looking through the course listing for most of the degrees offered. This is the course lisiting for B.tech in Computer Science. The links to the course structure of other degrees are also present. - Yogi ^(talk) 22:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

There is hardly any use to have this entry in wikipedia if you are maintaining the wiki like this. There's nothing here but links to the VIT website.

Thanks both for your efforts. I've removed the {{NPOV}} tag. --Nick Boalch ^?!? 12:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I urge yogi not to keep deleting whatever is being added to this page. There's nothing left but skeleton. Let this page be of some use where people who've really been at VIT add something to it rather than some person who is sitting in washington and writing for a living without knowing the ground facts. An article published in other geography cant change the facts existing here.

Thank You. hooaamai ^(talk) —Preceding comment was added at 06:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I am telling you all that stuff about "popular among" blah blah and "famous for" blah blah are not needed in an encyclopedia. I am a student of VIT. A lot of claims were actually false.

"VIT University has a good placement record and many reputed companies like Microsoft,Yahoo,Google etc have come and recruited students." - citations needed Hooaamai (talk) 05:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Vitlogo.gif

Image:Vitlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Criticism from unspecified sources.

The criticism appears to be totally unsourced and could well be the work of a vandal, a frustrated one at that.
