    Satisfied with the faculty, infrastructure could be improved, and good placements last year.
    Placements: I just joined my batch a few months ago. I don’t know the placement percentage, but there are 63 students enrolled in my course. I also don’t know the package system yet. The recruiting companies for my course are SYASANS and ZOHO, and the top roles are Senior Microbiologist and Lab Technician.
    Infrastructure: The whole college is divided into particular blocks for certain courses. Some newly built blocks are very comfortable, but the block I am in, the first building made, is honestly not the ideal block to have classrooms in. I come from Lucknow, and it is sort of difficult for me at the start, but now I have adjusted to hostel life. It has been a hard journey, but overall, the hostel is good.
    Faculty: The best thing about my course and college is my teachers. They are very helpful and listen to all sorts of complaints, especially my mentor, she is the best. Teaching-wise, they explain topics clearly so they enter our minds. Right now, I am having my semester exams for the first time, and they have been moderately easy.
    Other: I chose this course because I want to move abroad and become a Senior Microbiologist, as I am fond of Biology. The only thing I would wish to improve about the college is the infrastructure of my block.

    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.

    Overall, it's very good for students' sake.
    Placements: In our college, students who have above 65% can apply for their respective courses. The highest package is for law courses, which offer 1 LPA, while the lowest package is Rs. 55,000. The average package is about Rs. 75,000. Tata is one of recruiters. About 98% of students are selected in our course. The top roles offered in our course are in bioinformatics, microbiology, and food biotechnology.
    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%.

    Overall, my college campus life, faculty, and facilities are all good.
    Placements: Moreover, 75-80% of students are getting placed in my college. My college is giving placement training from the 2nd year onwards and internship opportunities for every student. Over 250-300 companies hire from my college for placements, but the only problem with placements is that only some companies are good.
    Infrastructure: I am a day scholar, so I don't know about the hostel, but my friends told me that the hostel rooms are good, but the taste of the food is bad, and the hostel fees are higher. My classroom has a smart TV, and in my department, there are vendor machines in which we can take the food by paying online
    Faculty: Teachers in my college are good. They are well-educated, and the teaching is also good. However, my college keeps more exams before the semester exams like CIA 1, CIA 2, Model Examinations, and practical exams. They do not give proper internal marks.

    Placements: Placement cell are sending so many jobs on Vels student login and all are coming for BPO or non-technical. However, for technical 4 to 5 companies visit, selecting around 10 to 15 students. If you get selected for a non-technical role, you can join immediately company, which is only one benefit.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good with Wi-Fi connection and charging plug points near our tables. AC rooms and computer labs are available with high-speed systems. There are two canteens and you can go outside for lunch or you can buy snacks and eat in class also. You can play sports at cultural events.
    Faculty: Staff is very strict about doing assignment. Course curriculum is good with nice subjects and exams are very easy because they conduct CAT1, CAT2, and model exams before the semester exam. If we study these papers we will get pass and you will get 40 as internal marks so you can pass easily in the semester exams.
    Other: In the college, VSAT scholarships are available and so many movie events and cultural events are conducted.
