A story begins now in Saveetha Engineering College.

Placements: I think about 85 percent of students got placed on the banners & flex shows. Companies like Qualcomm, Amazon, and Infosys visit the campus for computer-based courses. I have no idea about internships right now. The college looks like a well-active placement cell. Every senior faces a test of soft & coding skills. I am also stuck in the internship process.

Infrastructure: We have well-equipped labs that are surrounded by noise-protection glasses. The hostel has two parts, one is new with full AC rooms and the other is a mix of AC & Non-AC rooms. The hostel is cleanly maintained by the staff members. There is a mess with full AC dining, but hygiene is still missing in the mess.

Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly on & off the campus. Exams are conducted every 45 days. 90 days are split into 45 and 45. One is called a skill-based course, and the other is called a foundation-based course. I feel bad about this system.

Other: Saveetha Engineering College is known for events & culturals but all this is in a high-cost manner.

It is much better than 2025 when compared to 2026.

Placements: Only a small percentage of students are placed through campus placements. The placement cell is improving day by day to make students' lives better. The lowest average package is 1 LPA, and the highest package offered for the course is 3 LPA. Hexaware Technologies is the only top recruiting company. Around 80–90% of students get internships from our course in companies like Texmo Industries, NCR, and others. Usually, they are hired as trainees, and after the training period, they are hired as operators and in similar roles.

Infrastructure: We have many labs, like the Ideology Lab, the Incubation Center, and other labs required for practical sessions. The library has many books and journals. It is very useful for learning. Classrooms and surroundings are very good. The campus is located in a natural and peaceful area. Overall, hostel quality is good. Medical facilities are available. The food is okay. Sports and games facilities are good.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good. It is conducted professionally. The course curriculum is specially designed to make students industry-ready. The semester exams are not very difficult, which makes them easier to write. Around 70–80% of students pass every semester.

Other: I chose this course because I already know that it is a trending course. Many job opportunities will be available in the coming years. The best thing about this course is that it encourages us to do new things on our own and provides solutions to real-life problems. More practical learning should be included instead of focusing mainly on theoretical books. The events, fests, campus, crowd, and overall environment are very good. They are improving day by day.

Biotech in REC- how things actually move and work here.

Placements: The placements are great. Almost 95% placement was achieved this year, and an average package of 9 LPA from companies such as Biocon and Avigen. The top roles offered include Food Safety Officer, Bioprocessing Works, etc. Many faculty members help a lot with placements. Several of them have worked in the field and have alumni contacts in leading companies.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is nice, with everything needed, such as labs, classrooms, and a playground. Even a gym and swimming pool have been added for hostel students. The hostel is a bit troublesome, like every other typical college hostel, with average food and rooms.

Faculty: Faculty is great and supportive of our careers. They maintain ethics properly. Exams and coursework are up to date and properly maintained. The curriculum and subject notes are provided in both handwritten and printed form. They are useful. There is also a library where students can borrow books for their convenience.

A good campus for middle-class students with decent placements in Civil, Mechanical, EEE, and CSE.

Placements: Not many major companies are coming for placements. So students should try their best to search on their own. It also has a better option, which is to go for higher studies by clearing TANCET or GATE to get a better campus or even the same campus.

Infrastructure: The department-wise facilities are good. Overall, it is also good for other departments. The boys’ hostel food is below average. The equipment is better, and infrastructure and maintenance are also fine. The campus also has an auditorium and indoor facilities for sports and cultural activities.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-experienced. Gaining knowledge is important here. Students can freely approach faculty members, and each staff member handles around 4–5 students as mentors. They support students in studies and internships. They also guide them personally, which is good. The teaching style is good.

Review of Alagappa Chettiar Government College of Engineering and Technology.

Placements: 80 to 85% of students get placed every year in our college. The highest salary package offered may be 25 LPA, and the lowest would be 10 to 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Zoho, Teach Mahindra, Wipro, etc. Design engineer, production engineer, and software engineer roles were offered in my course.

Infrastructure: College has high-quality facilities. Labs, classrooms, and libraries are available. Hostel range is medium, and our hostels have a mess where you can eat your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also, it has a dispensary for students. Our college has all sports teams available.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly professional and knowledgeable. They are helpful to students. The course curriculum is relevant as well as useful for industrial operations. If you study well, semesters are easy to crack. The pass percentage would be 80 to 85%.

Other: I chose Mechanical Engineering because I love automobiles. In this course, you can learn about the theoretical knowledge of how an automobile works. There is no need for improvement at all. There are many more clubs and events hosted every year in this college, like culturals, sports day, etc.
