Velammal, the worst college in the world.

Placements: The college has no placements. If you want to waste money, then you can join this college. This is the worst college in Tamilnadu and all the chainlinks. The chairman is money-minded, and he asks money for everything. You have to keep Rs 10,000 ready each semester to pay fines. You have to pay a fine if you take leave or if you forget your ID card. They will ask you to pay fine even if you go to the toilet. Everyday Rs. 100 is wasted because of fine.

The infrastructure and placements were good in the college.

Placements: The placements at our college are very good. The companies like Amazon, Cognizant, TCS, etc., visit our college for placements. In our college, nearly 75% of the students got placed in the top most companies. In our college, automobile and mechanical students also got placed in good companies.

Quite satisfied with the way of reaching, mostly service companies are only visiting for recnowadays

Placements: For CSE and IT excellent job opportunities are there as several service companies are regularly visiting our college. But core companies for mechanical and automobile are not visiting more often. So chances are very less in core companies. But students are capable of placing in a decent industry somehow.

Nice environment with quality education.

Placements: For our senior batch, the placements are quite high in recruitment. But, there are lot of companies are arrived in my batch but the number of taking is drastically less compared to my senior batch. There are various staffs working in various streams to get students placed in various companies. If we are good in technical and communication definitely we got placed.

Dissatisfied with the food facilities and the technological facilities.

Placements: Senior and my batch placements are not good. Only non-core companies came to the college. So, more than 20% students placed because of the pay packages. Interns are not allowed in our college. Only for IV, we went that too for a minimum of 1 day or half a day. Placement cells are there for all colleges. There training was good. They didn't bring any companies for a speech to students regarding the industrial trends.

A college which has reputation, but lacks in making engineers.

Placements: I got placed in TCS as a system engineer. Since I got placed in TCS, I wasn't allowed to sit for other companies or core companies. Being working for 4+ years in TCS, I still feel that I should work for a core company being a rank holder. We get less core exposure. The college doesn't give importance to core sector and whatever we studied goes waste if we go to MNC. For core placements, we should try outside.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: There are above 80% students were placed in placements. Top companies also approaches our college. The companies like CTS, TCS, Wipro will offer more than three hundred offers for the students in the whole college. The highest package offered in core companies is 12 Lacs per annum.

Overall I am satisfied with my life at Velammal Engineering College.

Placements: In my department, there are 54 students in the final year. Out of these, 48 students are eligible for attending the placement. Only 12 out of 48 got placed in companies like Infosys, Wipro, MindTree and EmbedUR. I am not exactly sure about the salary package, but it is closely near to 4 LPA. Most of the students got the roles of Associate Software Engineer. We do have a Training and Placement Cell in our college and they are doing the best they can to boost the count of the companies visiting t...

A review on VEC if it is worth to choose for a better career.

Placements: Mostly, they are training for only IT placement, and only IT companies are coming. There are core placements in very rare cases. The management itself is showing more importance in IT placement more than core placement. IT placements are also in a pathetic situation, and also, the placement is shared among the partner institutions.

This college gives importance only to results.

Placements: During my final year placements (2015-16), there were many IT companies which came to my college, but unfortunately, no core company came during that period. But now, I came to know from my junior, that core companies are coming to college and hiring. There is an increase in core companies now.

Overall, I haven't enjoyed my college life, with strict rules.

Placements: The only good thing in my college is the placement. If you do not have any arrears and you have a CGPA of at least 65%, you will definitely get placed by our college. We created a record in placement in 2015 by placing 1234 students on our campus. No other college till now broke this record.

About VEC, pros and cons to know, before joining.

Placements: There are good placements here. Here, all the product and service companies will be present with no BPO for the recruitment and 90% of the students got placements in our batch. If you cleared all the subjects, definitely you can get placed easily. If you got an arrear and you are good in programming, then you can still get the job in the product companies like Zoho.

A famous college, but infrastructure, placements, and facilities are not good.

Placements: The placements here were too good for the CSE and IT students. Yearly, there were 70% of the students who got good placement. Most of the companies coming for the recruitments are the sales and marketing. Placements are too poor for the mechanical engineering students. There is also a placement cell here. They offer Rs. 10 lakhs per annum, which is higher and the lower package is Rs. 2 lakhs per annum. Only 5% of the students got internships from the college.

Velammal Engineering College - The road to your destiny.

Placements: It is the top-notch college in Tamilnadu. It guarantees you with your placement for sure. But my bad luck I was not placed in any on-campus placements. The college provided me with all off-campus opportunities too. My batch was 2010 to 2014, and there were around 3000 to 4000 students on the whole. Almost 75% of the students got placed. Starting from TCS, all fortune companies had visited or by other means, we were given the opportunity to attend the placement. Amazon, Zoho and big recruiters re...

A good college which is inside the city.

Placements: The placements are not up to the mark when compared to what my seniors and super seniors had. All the MNCs had new rules and made tough to crack the job. This year, it's even more miserable. I had many arrears, yet I still cleared final rounds of interview for many marketing companies.

I personally recommend velammal for my juniors.

Placements: IT placements are too good in our college. Some of the top IT companies like Infosys and Wipro visit our college every year. Zoho is one of the reputed product company which visits our college every year. The average salary package is about Rs. 2.5 to 4 LPA. Apart from the IT company, many marketing companies do visit our college. Regarding the core companies, these numbers are not big. This year TVS and Godrej visited our campus (till Dec 2017).Other than this, our college also provides opportu...

Satisfied with the college and it is worthy. The students with creative minds can give a try.

Placements: It is a good place for product companies. The management help students through placements. The syllabus used during studies must be changed or upgraded which is in the hands of Anna University. On the other hand, it is a good place for students creativity. We have to do individual projects in companies apart from studying in the college.
