Absolutely very good college you can go for it if you get a scholarship .
Placements: Totally 92 percentage of students are placed in my college but we can't predict what kind of job they will get some may I get placed in a very good company or some way even get placed in normal company and they are very few top companies will come for the campus interview like accenture company etc. But only three company will come which are like top they will provide you intention in the summer holidays but you have to pay separately for the term internship top role in my core is like data analyst.
Infrastructure: The food will be good but the feels will be or nearly one Lacs per annum labs and classroom will be very good the bench will also be very clean and they will be SMART board projector etc. In every classes there is no Wi-Fi connection the library will be common for all the department also you will be very good.
Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable but they can't cover the portions example totally 5 unit will be there and they will complete only three, the passing percentage will be 40 and it is not that much difficult to pass in the exam. But you should get at least 18 mark in the internal out of 40 so that you can pass or else you will fails in the semester.
Other: I choose vels University because they provide scholarship for most of the people and it is very value for the money you can save a lot of money but you have to work a lot to maintain that's scholarship.

A short review of VELS School of Engineering.
Placements: Don't need to worry about placements. VELS is providing good placements, 90% of the students particularly. They have been doing good in this part for the recent few years. VELS is a trusted university. They are offering placements from good companies, salary is not so high but I can say that VELS is one of the top 10 colleges in Chennai that is offering good placements with a decent salary package.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are good. Hostel is not a good option not satisfied with my college hostel but it's not that bad also. Well, there are also not much canteens present in my college. Mess food is good. So, if you ask me an overall review of my college's infrastructure and facilities it is average but manageable.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly, liberal, and lovable. Teaching at VELS is so trusted and good. That's the main part I like about my college. They will complete the syllabus within the limited time so no need to worry about studies. But exams are a little pressuring here maybe there you will lack.

In 2024, the staff is good, but it is not now for physio.
Placements: There are no placements for our course. There's no package offered in our college and no recruitment because in our course there are no placements like IT jobs, and I don’t know what to write in this box since it’s too hard to write about my college and curriculum in more than 200 characters.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and labs are available, and there is a canteen with food that is completely fine. Because of friends, we are able to survive in that college. Some staff members will really help you with many things.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. The exams are somewhat easy. If you complete 36 pages, you will pass the exams, that's the best thing.
Other: I want to become a doctor, but I don't like to deal with meat, so that's why I chose this course. The best thing about my course is that we treat a person's discomfort.

Satisfied with the college and good placements.
Placements: There are 50 students in the class. The minimum salary offered is Rs. 10,000 per month and the maximum is 1 LPA. Companies for recruiting are not that many only some top companies, others are startups, and not that many salaried companies. Maximum students do not get that many internships. Top role offered is BPO.
Infrastructure: Computer labs have AC. It is a good and cool lab system. Wi-Fi is awesome and it has good speed but only in lab, you can access the phones only by without knowing and sneaky. The library is fine. The hostel is average. Canteen provides snack items, which are good and meals are average.
Faculty: Few teachers are good for me and others are average. Teaching quality is good. They don't make students industry-ready, we have to be self-ready. MCA has 4 semesters, 3 semesters, and the final semester has only one project.
Other: I chose this course MCA because I have already done BCA I have computer knowledge, so I took the MCA. The best thing about the course is we can learn programming and computer knowledge. Events are made very grand. Culturals are made for 3 days which is very fun.

Not that great but a good college
Placements: Not sure about the percentage of placed students as it's final year for us. As of now highest was 7 LPA and lowest was 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCA, Accenture. Almost everyone who applied for internship is in Sutherland. Top role is BPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good in VELS. The ground is too small and whole campus is small but classrooms are good and equipped with projectors and some departments have air conditioners. Hostel facilities are great. Mess food would get bored after 6 months. Medical facilities are less inside the campus, sports and games are okay.
Faculty: Teaching quality is good but not upto the mark in some subjects and maybe in other departments not sure. Curriculum is relevant to the course and it makes the students somewhat industry ready. Semester exams are difficult and the percentage of pass is above 90%.
Other: I chose this course because i have interest in economics and investments. Best thing about this course is it's easy to understand and learn. The course should be more real life oriented apart from theories which we'll never use in life. I am particularly not satisfied with the campus life as the campus is mostly crowded. Extracurriculars are good.
