How VSET teaches Student Clubs and Societies

Student clubs and societies are the organised extracurricular structures through which students run technical, cultural and competitive activity outside the timetable. At VSET this sits alongside the GGSIPU curriculum and feeds directly into hackathon and project participation. At VSET this maps to documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE.

  • Club and society activity at VSET runs under the wider VIPS-TC student life structure in Pitampura, Delhi.
  • Technical activity is closely tied to hackathon participation, including Smart India Hackathon, rather than existing separately from it.
  • Because seven B.Tech programmes share a campus, societies commonly draw members across CSE, its specialisations, VLSI and IIoT.
  • Society participation is voluntary and does not carry GGSIPU credit; its value is in project experience and team practice.
  • The list of active societies changes each academic year, so incoming students should check the current position with the VSET student affairs office.

Labs and infrastructure

  • The AICTE IDEA Lab provides GPU workstations, embedded hardware and 3D printing that society and club projects can draw on.
  • The Quantum Research Lab supports advanced computing activity for interested student groups.

What students actually build

  • Society teams are the usual route into Smart India Hackathon and other competitive events.
  • Club projects often become the basis of capstone work or a personal portfolio.

Private affiliates vs university-run institutes

GGSIPU has two categories of institutions: university-run constituents (USICT Dwarka, USAR East Delhi Campus) and private affiliated colleges. USICT carries the strongest overall GGSIPU brand, but it is a different category with different fee structures and admission dynamics. Comparing private affiliates against each other is the like-for-like comparison for most applicants.

How admission works

Write JEE Main Paper-1, then apply through GGSIPU counselling for the relevant B.Tech programme at VSET. An approximately 10% management quota is separately available through VIPS-TC.
