Culture and Fests

Riviera

Riviera, a cultural and sports festival, has been taking place on the VIT Vellore campus since its first edition in 2002. The festival is mainly organised by the institute's students and features various activities such as sports, literary events, gaming competitions, music and dance contests, cultural parades, and professional shows, all of which draw significant attention.[32]

Controversies

In October 2013, two female students were suspended after they helped to organize an online opinion survey of female VIT students, focusing on issues of safety and inequality.[33] Commenting on the issue, VIT vice president Sekar Viswanathan said: "The students started a campaign based on the misplaced notion that the university discriminates against women, which is false. They were taken home by their parents".[33]
