Entire review of Vel Tech based on my own opinion.

Placements: I think around 400 out of 1,000 students get placed. Almost all major recruiting companies visit the campus for placements. Students also get good internship opportunities, and foreign education opportunities are offered. I feel the education is good because of the culture and environment, but some students' behavior at Vel Tech is not proper.

Infrastructure: According to me, the infrastructure is not very good because the college still has many old buildings from when it started in the 1990s. However, the management is now improving some parts of the infrastructure. The hostel is not very hygienic. It also has old infrastructure, but renovation work is currently in progress.

Faculty: Faculty and curriculum are good and better than at some other colleges. The exam pattern and the process of conducting exams are very easy to understand. There is no confusion because of their neat and clear pattern.

Other: According to fee structure, students who score above 90 percent in their intermediate examinations usually pay less than Rs. 1 lakh per year for ECE. If the fee for your course is below Rs. 1 lakh per year, this college is a good option. However, the fees at Vel Tech are lower compared to many other colleges.

Vel Tech University, the best college in Avadi with NAAC A+ grade and deemed university status.

Placements: I am a student of Vel Tech University. Vel Tech supports students well in placements. The highest package is 47 LPA. Top companies like Amazon recruit from the campus. Around 80–85% of students get placed through the college itself. About 15% of students pursue higher studies. The best course at Vel Tech is CSE.

Infrastructure: The campus looks like a 3-star hotel and provides free Wi-Fi. The hostel fee for a standard 4-in-1 room is Rs. 52,500. Non-vegetarian food is served daily except on Saturdays. There is a big basketball court, 24/7 power backup, ambulance service, 24/7 surveillance cameras, good drinking water, and a gym in the hostel.

Faculty: The college provides very good technical support and labs. Semester exams are very easy, while model exams are slightly difficult. Students do not need extra study sessions in the hostel because everything is explained clearly in the college itself. In the first year, the college provides foundation courses and coding classes.

Other: Lazavas is the biggest event at Vel Tech University.

East or West Vel Tech is the best.

Infosys, Amazon, Flipkart, Zoho, etc., recruit from campus. 70% of students got internships in banks like Indian Overseas Bank. Skill analysis and many roles are offered in my course.

Infrastructure: College has good Wi-Fi, labs, library, classroom and also a canteen. Food matters for hostelers, food is provided hygienically and also tastes good. There are no issues in the infrastructure and facilities of the university. They do provide sports and give priority to the students who handle both studies and sports.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and have good teaching quality. They do provide training according to the industry. Semester exams will be a little tough to manage, but the faculty members do support and motivate every student, both in their curriculum and career-based.
