Gearing up to the big day

The freshers reading this will be wondering about how to get into the SYSTEM mentioned in previous post?

On your orientation day, lots of important documents, instruction manuals and oral instruction will be provided to you. Note them down even if you don’t understand. You will be provided with a password. This is the password to access your account on the VIT intranet system, the user id being your registration no. log on to the intranet and login with your registration number and your password. First of all, change your password to a desired password of your choice. And then you can access you can access your account. This is the very account to log in on the day of registrations. Also in future, when the faculties upload their notes (in pdf, doc, ppt formats) on their intranet id, you can download from your id for reference and studying. Yes fellows VIT is very much advanced in this technology.. and so are most of the faculties

Judgment day

The day and the time when you have to do the registration is allotted to randomly by the system. Registration for students of every year separately stretches for 2 days, thus making it almost a week long process (8days). This done to avoid domain overloading. Be ready on that day at that time in front of a computer. Log on to this link

academics.vit.ac.in

click on students login, enter your registration number and password, and click on Course Registerartion link. Re-enter the details and your registrations began.

The website has its own clock, follow it since each student is provided only 2 hours

Final formalities and Important tips

•  Once you have made a your time table, do take a snapshot of it
• All the changes that you make are automatically saved and will be saved after you log out
• After the commencement of new semester, Add/Drop facility will be provided for 1 week where you can change your time table if you EXPERIENCE inconvenience after trying it out in that week.
• Although there wouldn’t be any changes after the add and drop and hardly any seats are left when you go in for add drop
• You have to gamble on the fact that someone will leave the lecture of your convenience and that you will get his seat
• The add/drop is just like sitting on Bolt at BSE, there we buy and sell shares, here we do that for seats.
• The rule book says that 1^st year students will be provided with a faculty advisor who will guide them which faculty to choose and which not. Please take his advice if you MANAGE TO FIND HIM.
•    Frankly speaking, do not rely on such gimmicks, always consult your on which faculty to choose for subjects. Don’t be shy of your seniors, they are really very helpful.
•   The seniors provide you with a wide variety of teachers, those who donate marks, those who eat up your marks, those who teach well and those who don’t.
•   Ideally for the 1^st years, the lectures are in Main Building, Technology Tower and Silver Jubilee Tower. The slots are so beautifully adjusted that you can easily manage to get all your subjects in 1 building. Do not end up taking slots where in you have to run from MB to SJT almost 1.3 km in just 5 minutes.
• Sometimes sacrifice the faculty choice when it comes to venue and time choice.
•  It also depends on luck; if you have your registrations on the 1^st day in morning, you will have all the choice in the world
  but if you get it on 2^nd day, then the choices will be reducedThat’s the topic of discussion in critical review.
•  TRY AVOIDING A COMBINATION OF BOTH MORNING AND EVENING THEORY SLOTS.
• Lastly don’t be under pressure when you go for registrations, choose your slots smartly

Have faith in yourselves and the seniors who advice you. Stay connected to know more about the grading and exam system at VIT.
