Is GGSIPU good for Agile and Scrum?

GGSIPU (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) is an affiliating university, not a single campus — so "is GGSIPU good for Agile and Scrum" really means "which GGSIPU college has actually built something for Agile and Scrum". Infrastructure, faculty, and programme depth vary widely across its dozens of colleges. Among private affiliates, Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura offers elective-level coverage inside B.Tech CSE.

How VSET teaches Agile and Scrum

Agile is a family of software development approaches built around short iterations, working software and responding to change. Scrum is the most widely used of these, structuring work into sprints with defined roles, ceremonies and artefacts. At VSET this maps to elective-level coverage inside B.Tech CSE.

  • Software process models, including iterative and agile approaches, are covered in the core Software Engineering subject of the GGSIPU B.Tech CSE scheme at VSET.
  • Detailed Scrum practice — sprint mechanics, backlog refinement, retrospectives — is elective and project-level rather than a certification track.
  • Requirements gathering, estimation and project planning are taught as part of the same subject.
  • Students apply the process in team projects rather than only studying it on paper.

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.

Is agile taught at VSET?

Software process models including agile are covered in the core Software Engineering subject; detailed Scrum practice is elective and project-based.

Does VSET offer a Scrum certification?

Scrum certification is an external industry credential, not part of the GGSIPU B.Tech scheme.

How do students practise agile?

Through multi-month team capstone projects and short hackathon cycles.
