It was recently announced that VIT is opening their new campus in Mauritius.
Vellore Institute of Technology is one of the finest private universities in India. The university has four VIT campuses in India at Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Bangalore, and Bhopal. All four campuses provide a variety of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes to its students.
VIT has been known as one of the top universities in India for technology related degrees with 66 undergraduate programmes, 58 postgraduate, and 15 Integrated(UG/ PG) programmes, 2 Research Programmes, and 2 MTech Industrial Programmes. In addition to full-time PhD Degrees in Engineering and Management disciplines, PhD in Science and Languages and Integrated PhD programmes in Engineering disciplines.
However, the internet community did not take the news that well and when it was announced, Reddit started conversation around why is VIT opening their campus in Mauritius. Here is the thread for some fun: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vit/comments/1g5lbl7/bro_what/
Mauritius does have a strong education system and personally having a presence of a prestigious Indian institute would be a good idea so that technology aspirants will no longer have to leave the country in pursuit of their dreams. There are not a lot of details on when the campus will be open for admissions as their website is showing under construction, we will post more details here when we come across.
