VITopia Copilot

Hi! I'm the VITopia campus copilot. Ask me anything general about VIT — FFCS & slot booking, grading and CGPA rules, hostel & mess, faculty, exam patterns, or campus facilities.

Want to see the live VTOP flow? Connect the sandbox demo account — type login as demo_student demo_pass — and I'll walk through the CAPTCHA, then answer your attendance, timetable, marks, exam seating, proctor and hostel from seeded sample records. No real login, no real data.
