Place for placement VSB Engineering College.

Good placements, and we have another branch in Coimbatore. The hostel facilities are good.

Placements: Highest package offered so far is between 9 to 12 LPA, especially for CSE and IT students. That is one of the biggest achievements of the year! Students felt more confident this year due to regular aptitude training sessions. Departments like ECE and EEE also saw good placements, especially in core companies. The top roles offered are HR roles and software analyst positions. I have an ECE background and core-related companies are offering more jobs.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are neat and comfortable. Food is average, but we manage well with canteens inside the campus. The dental block inside the college helps students access basic medical facilities when needed. Overall, the infrastructure is good. The classrooms are clean and well-maintained. Labs are well-equipped with proper electrical instruments. The library has plenty of useful books, and students can access it anytime.

Faculty: Faculty had a good educational background. They are helpful when it comes to projects and presentations, even with their help, I got first prize in a paper presentation. They teach us practically and theoretically, so it is very helpful to apply engineering principles in real life. Exams are sometimes tough, especially when handling department-related papers; sometimes, they are even tough to clear.

Other: Big events happen only once a year, and that was grand too. Random events occur twice a month. But academically and placement-wise, it was okay.
