VSB Engineering College is the place for placement.

Placements: 100% of students got placed in my course. The minimum package is 3 LPA and the maximum package is 15 LPA.

Absolutely good but dissatisfied with placements, & they haven't conducted cultural events even once

Placements: Over 50% of students were placed. The highest package was 5.5 LPA and the lowest was 2.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies were TCS and Schneider Electric, but I don't know the specific roles for placements. No one was placed in top companies. I attended interviews, but the questions were too difficult; MNC interviews were particularly hard. If our curriculum improves, we should be able to place students in top-tier MNCs.

Infrastructure: Yes, we have Wi-Fi, a library, and lab facilities, but the Wi-Fi speed is not great. The library is excellent and air-conditioned. Our college has many labs in all departments. Unfortunately, the hostel food is not good; there have been times when ants and insects were found in the food. After we protested, the quality improved a bit.

Faculty: Our teachers are not very supportive but help a little during college life. We struggle with placements because our curriculum isn't geared towards industry needs, making it difficult. If you want to enjoy college life, this might be the place for you, but if you aim to build your career, you might want to reconsider.

Other: I love electrical engineering, which is why I chose this course. The curriculum needs to be changed. Our university offers scholarships, but they don't conduct cultural events, only some short activities.
