Absolutely satisfied because of good placements, faculty, and good infrastructure.
Placements: They provide more placement opportunities in our university. They have tie-ups with reputed software companies like IBM, Cognizant, Philips, and other reputed companies. They also give placement training to ace the placement. Placement training exams are conducted every semester.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. AC classrooms with smart classes. Big auditorium. There's a library in which all journals, books, and e-books are available and easy to access. Hostels are good too, and hostel food is good. We have AC facilities in laboratories. Laboratories are good too.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly, and they are very approachable. They give notes on time and give reference books and question banks. They also arrange for internships for students. Very friendly and approachable. Feels like home. We feel free to approach.
Other: I've chosen this course to explore more in the medical field and in engineering as well. I like this course very much, and I'm looking forward to exploring more. The campus is good, always crowded, and connectivity is very good. There are many extracurricular activities, more clubs, and more events. Nothing to be improved because this is the best.

Not that great but a good college
Placements: Not sure about the percentage of placed students as it's final year for us. As of now highest was 7 LPA and lowest was 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCA, Accenture. Almost everyone who applied for internship is in Sutherland. Top role is BPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good in VELS. The ground is too small and whole campus is small but classrooms are good and equipped with projectors and some departments have air conditioners. Hostel facilities are great. Mess food would get bored after 6 months. Medical facilities are less inside the campus, sports and games are okay.
Faculty: Teaching quality is good but not upto the mark in some subjects and maybe in other departments not sure. Curriculum is relevant to the course and it makes the students somewhat industry ready. Semester exams are difficult and the percentage of pass is above 90%.
Other: I chose this course because i have interest in economics and investments. Best thing about this course is it's easy to understand and learn. The course should be more real life oriented apart from theories which we'll never use in life. I am particularly not satisfied with the campus life as the campus is mostly crowded. Extracurriculars are good.

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.

VISTAS- facts for future aspects.
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.

Review of VELS University, Pallavaram.
Placements: On average, 60 percent of the students were placed in our batch. The placement cell helps a lot and conducts many classes to improve the skills and power of knowledge. The highest package goes to 10 LPA and the average package is 4 to 5 LPA. So it was good.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is really good and the college provides a big library with all the books. The classroom is neat and clean and has proper seating capacity. There is Wi-Fi in all departments. The hostel is very good and liberal.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly to students and the exams are held once a month, like CAT 1, 2, and 3. The faculty is very nice, helpful and focused on helping students succeed. The faculty helps students reach their full potential and is very appreciative of them. Only one chief is very bad and holds grudges against students.
Other: Enjoyment is equal to our studies. It was a very good college for students who wanted to enjoy themselves and study.

A college that boasts name and fame but is no bite.
Placements: About 70% of the students were placed in my course. The highest package offered was 6 LPA and the lowest package offered was 2-2.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Wipro, TCL, and Accenture. I would say only about 50% got their internships in some small newly set up companies that didn't have a lot of reputation. The positions offered were Business Associate, Assistant Store Manager, Management Trainee.
Infrastructure: There aren't a lot of facilities for the commerce department, which is quite frustrating. The classrooms are small for a class of 60 students, the building is too old; a renovation would do. The hostelers are provided with A/C, beds, washrooms, and the mess's food is okayish but not good. The canteen is a bit on the expensive side. There's only one clinic, common for both the school and collegiate students. There is no club for sports and games.
Faculty: The teachers are qualified but aren't knowledgeable; the teaching quality is average, with teachers using the local language. Yes, this course is curriculum relevant, but it doesn't make the students industry-ready practically (only theoretical knowledge). The semester exams are pretty easy to crack, and the passing percentage is, I would say, about 75%.
Other: I felt this course was more competitive compared to Science and Arts courses. The best thing is it helps grasp how the economy works in a country. There is a scholarship examination for students seeking it before joining. The college hosts a ton of events throughout the 3 years of this course, and the crowd and connectivity are average, to say the least.
