==Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship==
<div><big>VVIT not only strives to educate students but also inspires them to be more than literate. Students in VVIT will be taught how to be entrepreneurial. Our institute has an Institution's Innovation Council under the guidance of experts. Institution Innovation Council ([https://vvitguntur.com/facilities/edc/mhrd-iic/startup-policy/ap-startup-policy IIC]) is an '''Initiative of the Ministry of Human Resource Development for selected Higher Education Institutes'''. The '''MHRD'''(Ministry of Human Resource Development)''', Govt.''' '''of India''' has established 'MHRD's Innovation Cell (MIC)' to systematically foster the culture of Innovation amongst all Higher Education Institutions. Some of the events and workshops hosted by Institute’s Innovation Council are YUKTI - '''National Innovation Repository'''(NIR), 3rd Startup Ecosystem Meet-up, Exposure visit to pre-incubation units such as Fab Lab, Maker Space, Design Centres,.</big>[[File:Google Developers CodeLabs VVIT.png|right|frameless|586x586px]]<big>The first-ever [https://www.vvitguntur.com/facilities/google-codelabs Google Developers CodeLabs] in the country with all Google’s exotic design standards was established at Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology in the year 2018.Google Developers CodeLabs provides guided, tutorial and hands-on coding experience. The main goal of CodeLabs is to bring Industry Level exposure to students. Students take full advantage of this lab to gain hands-on experience of the Industry. The objective was maintained with various sessions and workshops which brought consistency in the development of real-time applications. It is also serving as an incentive for the host universities to be involved in the training program. This is a great platform for students as well as developers. Some of the best developer programs took place in this very CodeLabs are - The Nano-Degree Certification program from Udacity, with the support of APSSDC. CodeLabs started with Android Programming. This later continued with DT workshops, Front End Development, Hackathons by GitHub, Indo-Nordic Innovation Acceleration Cluster(INIAC) and NASA SpaceApps challenge.</big>
<big>The EWB([https://sites.google.com/view/ewb-vvit/home Engineers Without Borders]) Student Wing of VVIT is with more than 120 students registering their names during the initial drive. The chapter's four cornerstones are societal welfare, leadership, competition, and bringing forth a deep-seated understanding towards valuing diverse opinions. The EWB will assist students in developing the empathy and industry-standard skills necessary to ensure a future of mutual growth. EWB works in over 68 countries and provides services to scholars from a variety of prestigious universities.<span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></big>
<big>VVIT has been recognised as a '''Centre of Excellence'''([https://vvitguntur.com/facilities/sem CoE]) by Siemens in collaboration with APSSDC.

<big>VVIT along with APSSDC had established the first ever '''Google Developers CodeLabs'''([https://www.vvitguntur.com/facilities/google-codelabs CodeLabs]) in India in collaboration with Google to help maintain interest in product and application development for students as well as faculty. Dassault Systèmes is a 3D experience lab that allows students to implement innovative thoughts on a 3D experience platform for product development. This Improves students’ confidence levels by working in domains such as Aerospace, Automotive and Offshore engineering.</big>
