Reality of so called reputed university.

Placements: Placements are pretty mediocre at their best, only 30 percent of students get placed mainly in software based companies and we do not have proof that we ever have a product based company for placements. The roles offered are pretty basic and only very few get the opportunity for internship.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is below average. You get pretty slow Wi-Fi in campuses, classrooms are cleaned once a week, medical facilities are not free and they are very expensive if it is an emergency too and the hostel is fine there is nothing too fancy or bad, but the food is bad.

Faculty: Faculty members, some are good some do not even know what they are teaching, some just blab and get away. The facilitators who are doing Ph.D. here and teaching are very poor in terms of subject knowledge. Semester exams are moderate the pass percentage is 40 percent.

Other: I chose this college only because it has lower fees compared to others.

Absolutely satisfied because of good placements, faculty, and good infrastructure.

Placements: They provide more placement opportunities in our university. They have tie-ups with reputed software companies like IBM, Cognizant, Philips, and other reputed companies. They also give placement training to ace the placement. Placement training exams are conducted every semester.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. AC classrooms with smart classes. Big auditorium. There's a library in which all journals, books, and e-books are available and easy to access. Hostels are good too, and hostel food is good. We have AC facilities in laboratories. Laboratories are good too.

Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly, and they are very approachable. They give notes on time and give reference books and question banks. They also arrange for internships for students. Very friendly and approachable. Feels like home. We feel free to approach.

Other: I've chosen this course to explore more in the medical field and in engineering as well. I like this course very much, and I'm looking forward to exploring more. The campus is good, always crowded, and connectivity is very good. There are many extracurricular activities, more clubs, and more events. Nothing to be improved because this is the best.

Review of VELS University, Pallavaram.

Placements: On average, 60 percent of the students were placed in our batch. The placement cell helps a lot and conducts many classes to improve the skills and power of knowledge. The highest package goes to 10 LPA and the average package is 4 to 5 LPA. So it was good.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is really good and the college provides a big library with all the books. The classroom is neat and clean and has proper seating capacity. There is Wi-Fi in all departments. The hostel is very good and liberal.

Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly to students and the exams are held once a month, like CAT 1, 2, and 3. The faculty is very nice, helpful and focused on helping students succeed. The faculty helps students reach their full potential and is very appreciative of them. Only one chief is very bad and holds grudges against students.

Other: Enjoyment is equal to our studies. It was a very good college for students who wanted to enjoy themselves and study.

Kalvium excels in VELS with its work, program, offering great placements and a bright future.

Placements: I am currently enrolled in the Kalvium WIP (Work Integrated Programme) offered by B.Tech CSE at Vels University. This program has excellent placement opportunities, with a package of 10 lakhs per annum. It covers various subjects such as app development, web development, and web designing. While there are other courses available, this particular course stands out as the best option under the CSE department at Vels University.

Infrastructure: The university offers reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, with excellent facilities in the labs and an average setup in the classrooms. The library is outstanding, providing students with a conducive learning environment. Additionally, the college provides a gym for hostlers, along with laundry services. However, the hostel is considered average and has strict rules. On a positive note, the mess and canteen serve good quality food. Medical facilities are available on campus, and sports and games options are satisfactory. Although there is a swimming pool, it is currently non-functional and requires improvement.

Faculty: Teachers play a crucial role in providing assistance and guidance to students, particularly in my course, KALVIUM B.Tech CSE WIP. They possess the necessary qualifications, knowledge, and exhibit exceptional teaching abilities. Enrolling in this course ensures that you will be well-prepared for the industry, with a guarantee of 100% readiness. Unlike traditional semester-based systems, our program follows a unique approach inspired by foreign studies. Maintaining a minimum attendance of 90% is imperative for the Work Integrated Programme (WIP), which offers internships starting from the second year.

Other: I have selected this program due to its unique work-integrated nature, which sets it apart from other courses. One of the key advantages is that I will have the opportunity to secure an internship starting from my second year, which will greatly enhance my industry readiness. However, there is room for improvement in the classroom environment. On a positive note, the campus hosts successful events and festivals.
