Vel Teach University Review.

Placements: 40% of the students were placed in our batch. The highest package was 17 LPA, which was not provided by the college but was from an off-campus opportunity with Cisco. The college offered only packages less than 7 LPA, and the average package was only 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies like TCS and HCL came to the college, but only 2-5% of students got internships. Top roles were software trainees.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good in the college; the classrooms and library were well-maintained, but the hostel was not as good as expected considering the amount charged. It was only average. The canteen and sports facilities were good, and the college gave equal importance to extracurricular activities, which was a good advantage for students.

Faculty: The teachers were skilled and knowledgeable, but the teaching standards followed were not good. They focused only on theoretical knowledge, giving no credit to practical knowledge. They concentrated more on completing subjects rather than checking the understanding of students.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and well-trained, and the faculty is good. I really appreciate my college curriculum. The pass percentage of our college in semester exams is more than 60%, even though it is very difficult, because the teaching quality is good and perfectly trained.

Other: Because of the placements, the facilities from college to hostel should be improved.

Decent University with labs and faculty support.

Placements: 50% of students were placed from the 2024 batch in CSE, and other branches had higher percentages. The highest on-campus package was 18 LPA in Cisco, and the average was about 3.5 LPA. Some of the top recruiting companies were TCS, GENPACT, and TECH MAHINDRA. The top role offered was Software Developer.

Infrastructure: We have multiple labs for every year, with a Mac Lab having Mac PCs for development, an ECE lab with all equipment, etc. Larger equipment has different labs funded by various organizations, like ISRO, TCS, government programs, etc. We get chicken every day for dinner, with separate north and south messes. There's a basketball, volleyball, and football ground. A well-furnished gym and food court are inside the hostel.

Faculty: Yes, we have highly qualified teachers. They are specially friendly and understanding. They help with doubts and exams. The curriculum is a bit old since it follows government guidelines. But they go one step further to provide current situation knowledge. Exams are moderate, with almost everyone getting through them.

Other: My goal was government jobs and current development of the ECE field in India. The best thing is the variety of knowledge, including my specialization. Improvement can be made to the curriculum. They have a variety of clubs organizing events frequently. Once a year, we have Fest Lavazza. I personally got a scholarship of 75 percent. We have sports tournaments in every event with an annual event.
