Placements: Around 80 percent of students from our B.Tech artificial intelligence and data science course got placed in reputed companies. The highest package is 12 LPA, the average is 4.5 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiters included TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, Zoho, and IBM. Around 60 percent of students received internships from companies like SmartInternz and TechnoHack. Major roles offered are data analyst, python developer, machine learning engineer, and business analyst. The placement cell conducted mock interviews and training sessions that helped students perform well on-campus drives.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for our AI and data science department is excellent. Classrooms are clean and equipped with smart boards and projectors. Labs have updated systems with high-speed Wi-Fi and the latest AI tools. Library has good reference books and e-resources. Hostel facilities are neat with 24X7 water, power, and Wi-Fi.

The Vel Tech has good courses and placement.

Placements: Vel Tech University reports a strong placement record, with the percentage of eligible students placed exceeding 90 percent. The highest package recorded in recent drives is 44 LPA which is offered by Amazon, while the average package for B.Tech programs is between 4 LPA and 6.5 LPA. The campus is visited by over 300 companies including top recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Capgemini, Accenture, and Zoho. Many students secure internships (sometimes it is reported up to 70 percent) with these firms, which offer final roles predominantly in Software Development and System Engineering.

Infrastructure: The hostel buildings themselves are well-maintained, offering multiple occupancy options (AC/Non-AC) with basic furnishing. Facilities are comprehensive including 24/7 water, unlimited Wi-Fi, laundry services, a gym, and sports courts. The experience is marked by two main factors management is very strict with rules and curfews. Regarding food, the quality is often consistent while South Indian cuisine is generally fine overall, mess food receives mixed feedback and is best described as okay. Medical and canteen facilities are readily available on campus.

Faculty: The faculty at Vel Tech are reported to be highly qualified with many holding Ph.D. degrees or actively pursuing them. They are considered knowledgeable and helpful adopting a friendly and supportive approach with students (the mentor-mentee system is frequently mentioned). The teaching quality is rated as good, with professors using modern methods and providing notes. However some long-term student reviews mention occasional inconsistencies in teaching quality across departments, and some regional bias from certain placement coordinators has been noted by a few non-local students.

Other: I'm from the B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) 2024-2028 batch at Vel Tech University, Avadi. I chose this course because of my interest in technology and artificial intelligence. The best parts are practical learning, workshops, and helpful faculty. However more real-world projects and placement support could improve. The campus has good events, scholarships, and friendly students.
