About Vemana Institute of Technology
Vemana Institute of Technology (VIT) is a private engineering college located in Koramangala, South Bangalore, Karnataka. Approved by AICTE and affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), VIT is named after the 16th-century Telugu philosopher-poet Vemana, known for his couplets on social equality and wisdom. The college's Koramangala location places it at the heart of Bangalore's startup and technology ecosystem — one of the most strategically valuable engineering college locations in Karnataka.
KCET and COMEDK UGET are the primary admission routes, with an intake of 300 students.

Koramangala — Bangalore's Startup Capital
Koramangala is the epicentre of Bangalore's startup ecosystem and is home to the highest concentration of funded technology startups per square kilometre in India. Flipkart was founded in a Koramangala apartment. Companies including Swiggy, Myntra, BigBasket, Ola, Cure.fit and hundreds of Series A-funded startups have offices or headquarters in Koramangala. For VIT's CSE and ISE students, this means internship, part-time work and networking access to startup companies during their degree — an advantage that students at colleges in Bangalore's periphery or outside Bangalore cannot replicate.
The Outer Ring Road (ORR) connecting Koramangala to Whitefield, Marathahalli and Electronic City runs adjacent to the area, putting major IT employers within 20–30 minutes for VIT students accessing company events and drives.
