Overall, The best College for MBA Course.

Placements: About 90% of students were placed in my course. The maximum package offered was 10 LPA, and the minimum package offered was 5 LPA. The top hiring companies were Wipro, TCS, and Accenture. I would say only 50% got their internship at some small, newly set-up company that didn't have much reputation. The proposed posts were data analyst, manager, and management trainee.

Infrastructure: Lodging is exceptionally great. foundation is conventional. There are partitioned inns for boys and young ladies. The lodging has Wi-Fi, beds, closets, etc. The nourishment served in the inn is normal. The classrooms are well kept up. Libraries are awesome. Check-out from the lodging is at a certain time each day.

Faculty: The teachers were really helpful, competent, and knowledgeable. The quality of their education is good. The syllabus of the course is quite relevant but contains outdated topics and makes the students crafty, not perfect. Semester exams are of medium difficulty. The pass rate is 70%. .

Review of MBA VELS University.

Placements: Synergy Marine Group, Ebay, Ali Group India, Amazon, Flipkart, Big basket and many more recruited from our college. The average package that we received in our programme is around 5 lacs per year. In 2022, over 950 students out of 1200 will be placed on campus. This is a huge achievement. The placement cell worked very hard to achieve it. The only bad thing is that colleges do not offer any internships. The profile of the role is executive procurement.

Infrastructure: My institute has a striking feature: it is planned and comprehensive. The infrastructure provided to us includes specific lecture halls, well-equipped state-of-the-art laboratories, an air-conditioned computer training centre, a modern conference hall, a well-equipped digital library, an AC auditorium and indoor and outdoor sports facilities. We have one large library with a seating capacity of 500. There is a hostel on the college side. It was decent, but the food was prepared according to food standards, including a high protein meal.

Faculty: Our teachers are high professionals in teaching. The course syllabus trained and improved our analytical skills, conceptual skills, human skills, leadership qualities, and communication skills. Also, they trained us for interviews, seminars and workshops. Exams are not difficult; they are easy, and passing is really easy. Important questions were repeated many times in the exam.

Placements: More than 80 percent of students are in college. The highest package is 13 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. DHL, TCS, and ZOHO are the recruiting companies. All the students got internships with the help and guidance of faculty. The CII faculty provided help and support, playing a main part in the course.

Faculty: Faculty are the backbone of this course. The teaching is good and perfect; all faculty are Ph.D. holders. The exams and curriculum are perfect. They are updated year by year. The semester exams, if you study, are easy; most students pass.

Other: Friends and lectures tell me this course provides industry knowledge. They have a lot of events, but the most special one is Nakshatra.
