computing machinery
As the official student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery at VIT Vellore, we’ve been pushing boundaries and challenging conventions since 2009. From research and development to open-source contributions and unorthodox events, we turn ideas into real-world impact.
We don’t just write code - we ask questions, build with purpose, and learn together. With a culture built on trust and innovation, we’re here to build tools, solve problems, and grow as a community - because technology, at its best, brings people together.
Founded in 1984, VIT Vellore is one of India’s top engineering institutions, renowned for academic excellence, global outlook, and a strong emphasis on research and innovation. With students from across India and around the world, VIT offers a diverse and inclusive learning environment.
The university provides world-class infrastructure, experienced faculty, and a wide range of industry-connected programs designed to prepare students for professional success. From pioneering research to impactful engineering projects, VIT empowers students to make meaningful contributions across every field.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society. Since its inception in 1947, ACM has united educators, researchers, and professionals to advance computing as a science and a profession.
It promotes the highest standards of technical excellence, fosters lifelong learning, and supports career development through a global network of conferences, publications, and professional communities. With a strong commitment to innovation and leadership, ACM continues to shape the future of computing worldwide.

Each domain at ACM-VIT is more than a skillset, it's a mindset.
We build, break, design, analyze, and communicate, not in silos, but in
sync.
Because true innovation happens where disciplines intersect.
