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%.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty, really good for learn more things and parts about life.
Placements: A minimum of 20% of students are placed in more companies, like Metropolis Lab, and all students complete their internships.
Infrastructure: My department has free Wi-Fi, labs, and smart classroom facilities. The hostel food is not bad, but it is good to eat. Some foods, like poori, are not as good, but no one can complain about it because the food is not bad in flavor and taste. It is lower in cost compared to homemade food, but it's okay. The entire campus is very clean.
Faculty: In our department, the teaching is perfect. Some teachers are not very good, but they complete our syllabus on time and provide important questions for the semester examinations. Some faculty members teach in a friendly manner, while others are not bad. But, there are some incidents that could be avoided, but those are not our problem. Students are not allowed to leave during class hours. They are closely monitored by guards for student safety.

Best university life is in VELS University.
Placements: The percentage of students who were placed in the course is 42 students out of 93 attendees. 3.7 LPA. Indigo Airlines and Airport Authority of India have given internships to most of the students who have applied: Officer in AOCS, Executive in Ramp, Officer in Security, and Officer in Catering.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, gyms, cafeteria, library, auditorium: we have all the facilities with good amenities. The medical facilities are spot on and very immediate in action. The sports clubs are one of the best. It has both indoor and outdoor activities. The quality of food is very easily adaptable.
Faculty: The teaching quality was top-notch. All our instructors were very qualified and experienced. Our curriculum was totally in-depth to the practical level of the work field. The semester exams were very difficult, and moreover, the monthly assessments were equally difficult as the semester exams. The pass percentage of the semesters is 45%.
Other: I chose this course because it is totally about aviation. We had one college fest every year. The crowd was full all the time.

Good for aviation - overall average.
Placements: Our program has a good record of placing students in companies like Indigo, Air India, etc. Many students from our senior batch have secured full-time positions, while even second-year students have obtained part-time jobs on campus. While the number of companies visiting our college is limited, those that do tend to be high-quality employers, offering opportunities to a select group of students.
Infrastructure: Our college's outdated infrastructure and poor maintenance make for an unpleasant experience. The bathrooms, in particular, are unsanitary and emit strong odors that can be suffocating. This, combined with other shortcomings, creates a less-than-ideal living environment for students residing in the hostel.
Faculty: The accelerated pace of the course may hinder students' ability to fully grasp the material, especially in the final stages. However, the curriculum is relevant and prepares students for the industry, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills for success.

Placements: 90 percent of students are placed in our college. Companies like Accenture Zoho, etc. have arrived for placements. The students were placed in various companies and also had a good package for their career. Our college helps us in placement training, etc.
Infrastructure: They have an average hostel and other infrastructure. The foods provided in the hostel will be fair to eat. All the students can have Wi-Fi access and library activities to get their knowledge in the hostel also. They have a safe and secured hostel in the college.
Faculty: The faculty members of the college make us understand the subjects as well, both technical and technological aspects. They conduct exams in the 1-month period so that we can do our exams neatly and easily. They conduct both practical and theoretical exams for a semester.

Overall, it is a good college with a nice environment.
Placements: Most students in aviation don't depend on the placements provided by the college. Only a few attend the campus interviews for placements because they offer basic pay jobs at IndiGo Airlines. IndiGo is currently the only recruiting company for aviation. They don't provide internships here.
Infrastructure: In our department, we have all lab facilities, but currently, the simulator lab is under construction, and we don't have Wi-Fi facilities in college. The hostels here have Wi-Fi facilities and 24-hour water service. The food here is average, but the rooms are comfortable and neat.
Faculty: The faculty here are well-qualified and experienced in the field. They have practical knowledge about the industry as they have worked in it before, which makes students industry-ready and keeps them inspired. Exams here occur every month, with moderate difficulty.
