A review on my college of Vel Tech Dr. RR and Dr. SR University.

Placements: Many private companies have conducted interviews with the students in various sectors. Many students have got placed in various sectors. The mechanical engineering students are not placed much compared to other departments because of their insufficient knowledge in the engineering field.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very nice and good. The college provides quality education, more labs, smarts classes and library for different departments. Each student has computer login so that they can study in Google. The lab facility is superb, and students are doing well in it. The college is much strict in their discipline activities.

Faculty: Many faculty members are not much experienced, and one faculty is handling multiple subjects, and the curriculum is well designed to be perfect engineering. The first year maths is much difficult in the curriculum. Many students reappeared on it. The syllabus can't be completed within the given period. Many of the teachers will not complete the total syllabus because of insufficient time period.

Other: Other extracurricular activities are also given much importance.
