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.

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.

My college is very bad at parking. They should improve it.
Placements: They offer good packages to the passed batch, but some of them are not satisfied with the package. Also, some students can’t get jobs because they don’t learn the necessary skills during the semester. Most of them don’t look out for opportunities, and the college leaves them free at the end of the semester without proper guidance. They see everything.
Infrastructure: Our department staff is good, but the only problem is the building. It is an old building and has many problems due to a lack of maintenance. At least they can improve the seating benches and replace all the electrical equipment with new ones. That may help.
Faculty: They are enough qualified and also good at conveying knowledge to students, but sometimes they lack English skills. They are not good at speaking English. The semester exams are strict and difficult, but it is easy to pass if you fill the paper with a minimum of 35 pages.
Other: I chose this course because I took computer applications in my 11th and 12th grades, so I selected this course.

Infrastructure: The atmosphere around the campus, especially for the hostel students studying at our university, is good. The infrastructure is good, and Wi-Fi facility is available for students. They can visit the library after class hours at any time, as it remains open until 8:00 PM. The university provides all necessary facilities and shows extra involvement in sports activities for the benefit of students.
Faculty: Teachers are very friendly towards us, and they are well-qualified faculty members. They structure the student curriculum properly and prepare us well. It's pretty good actually, but if we concentrate more on every subject, it becomes easier for students. The pass percentage is 40%.
