Reality of so called reputed university.
Placements: Placements are pretty mediocre at their best, only 30 percent of students get placed mainly in software based companies and we do not have proof that we ever have a product based company for placements. The roles offered are pretty basic and only very few get the opportunity for internship.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is below average. You get pretty slow Wi-Fi in campuses, classrooms are cleaned once a week, medical facilities are not free and they are very expensive if it is an emergency too and the hostel is fine there is nothing too fancy or bad, but the food is bad.
Faculty: Faculty members, some are good some do not even know what they are teaching, some just blab and get away. The facilitators who are doing Ph.D. here and teaching are very poor in terms of subject knowledge. Semester exams are moderate the pass percentage is 40 percent.
Other: I chose this college only because it has lower fees compared to others.

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.

Good faculty and better studies.
Placements: Legal side roles are offered in limited companies only. The highest package for my course is more than 1 lakh per semester. 100% of students are placed in my course. We have three sections in each batch. Top recruiters are Zoho Corporation, HDFC Bank, and other companies.
Infrastructure: We have labs, a moot court hall, classroom projectors, and a library for our course. The quality of food is okay but not very hygienic. They provide both veg and non-veg from the same canteen, and a medical room is available. Sports and games are conducted every semester in our college.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful overall. They have limited knowledge of their subjects only, but they clarify doubts. The curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are a little difficult, but the passing percentage is very high in our college. They also conduct regular exams.

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.
