I have a few friends who completed their engineering degrees from VTU. They didn’t have a good experience at the institute. Here are some of the things that they complain about. 

• The examination papers are tough.
• The syllabus is vast.
• Evaluation does not depend on how well you did in your paper, it is completely up to luck. 
• The faculties are not that cooperative. You will get little to no help in terms of academics from the faculty. 

Going by all these factors I will say go for other institutes if you have that option.
