In the hostel, they provide a bed with bedsheets for each student and cupboards with blocks, and the routine is different from other colleges. There are strict rules for the hostel that everyone should follow.

Faculty: Each teacher is expected to teach their subjects, and they also offer NPTEL. Every teacher has good experience, and their teaching methods are easily understandable. VSB college offers both undergraduate courses and postgraduate courses, and they have good teachers.

Annamalai University review.

Placements: The placement was good, but not with very big companies. You can't get a good job with a decent package. I'm just studying in third year, so I don't know much about placements. But our college has good placements. The faculty members provide hands-on practice instead of just theories a lot, so it helps you upgrade your skills and get placed easily.

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure in college, old but in good condition. Nice architecture and a good environment for study. Hostel quality is poor, not so hygienic and clean. If you want to join the hostel, think twice before joining. Most of the students get skin problems because of the bad water and unhygienic environment in the hostel.

Faculty: Exams will be easy, all the questions will come from what the staff teach you during class time. So don't worry about the exams; you can easily get good scores, there will be two mid exams before the semester, so it will help you get ready for the semester exams with full potential.

Other: This college is old and well-recognized. This college has a good name.

The pass percentage is decent, with most students clearing their exams on time.

Other: I chose the B.E. Civil Engineering course for its broad subject options and scope for learning. The best part is the supportive faculty and flexible curriculum. I wish there were more practical activities. The campus crowd is friendly, events are lively, and the college is well-connected. Scholarships are also available.
