Dissatisfied by management.
Placements: Our course has 60 seats and it is about Bachelor in visual arts. We have total 8 subjects and our college does offer placement but only In final year. Almost everyone gets an internship from our college unless and until the students don't accept it.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is not that good because it looks like a hospital plus the lifts don't work. The toilets are clean but they don't have basic stuff. Our classrooms are also not that great but still they are good enough. We have a library but it's small and our college does not have a campus it's very bad.
Faculty: There are some teachers who teach us very well but some don't know what they are doing and it's very confusing for students. Many times the teachers are not present in our class for hours. Our course curriculum teaches us a basic of what will be needed in the industry later. The exams are not that difficult. The passing percentage is 35%.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become a graphic designer, the best thing about this course is that It does not have a lot of theory subjects and most of them are practical so it's fine doing the assignments. I wish that they would improve the college infrastructure and management needs a lot of improvement. Things should be modernized to develop us and match with the outside world.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with poor management.
Placements: Our course is new in this college. So we are the first batch. College is the worst.
Infrastructure: There is no computer lab or photography studio. They say the hostel fee is Rs.10,000 per year but when we get admission we have to pay Rs.54,000 additional fee for the mess.
Faculty: Faculty are not experienced in the industry. The curriculum is outdated and worth spending much money. Faculty doesn't take any effort to teach something relevant and helpful to get a job in the industry. Faculty keeps changing every year. Some teachers have left within a month so we haven't learned anything whatever we do or get a job will be on our own. We don't get any help.

It has good teachers and the best food with a huge campus.

The highest salary offered is around 2 lacks per month, and more depending upon your capabilities. The lowest salary offered is Rs. 30,000 per month. Analogy design, Shalin design many companies visit the campus. Around 90% of students got an internship in this course in top companies like Allen Solely.

They have medical facilities, and many games are available like cricket and basketball. Our college has a huge playground for it.
Faculty: Teachers here are so humble and helpful. They tell everything in detail and provide notes when it's required. They also give corrections for your work and give examples. Semester exams are a little bit difficult, but it depends upon your hard work. The passing number is 40/100.
Other: I opted for this course because it is related to my interest and provides me with opportunities to make an income. Our government should open more colleges for this course. There are only a few colleges for this course, and there are many students who want to take admission in this course. They celebrate every event, and the campus is very beautiful inside.

The course is well structured and challenging at the same time. Teachers are professionals and provide their best experience and knowledge.
Other: The campus crowd is good, and we have seen almost all welcoming and happy go lucky people. Fest is held and the campus is connected to the main highway and it's near from Kurla Station. I feel the course would have been accumulated with more study materials.

No, you will not be eligible for the MBA course at VELS Institute if you haven't appeared for any entrance exam. You have to first achieve at least 50% in graduation and then appear in any one of the accepted exams, namely, MAT, CAT, TANCET, and XAT.
