Thiagarajar College of Engineering is a Government college under Anna University. Velammal Engineering College is a private college under the same university. If you have a good rank to join, then you should not have second thoughts about your desired college and opt for a Government/ Government – aided college.

Here’s a brief overview of Thiagarajar College of Engineering and Velammal Engineering College.

There are several reasons why pursuing your graduation from a government college is beneficial.

• Lower fee- Government colleges under Anna University costs less as compared to Private Colleges. This makes it difficult to pay the loans once you land a job which is again a bit difficult given how bad placement opportunities are at a Private University.
• Freedom- Unlike Private Colleges which force-feed Engineering into you, Government Colleges promote Self Learning which also gives a bit of freedom to the students. All of your interests like Sports, Extra-Curricular, Co-Curricular, etc will be nurtured in a Government College.
• Alumni- The Govt. colleges under Anna are around 60 years old and have a large alumni base. You can easily find a TCE alumina around you. The Private colleges have limited or no Alumni base as they have been recently established.
• Placement- Placements at these Govt. institutes great. Many reputed MNCs like Google/Microsoft/Amazon visit the campus regularly. The placement average for Govt. colleges is also higher than private ones. 

So, it is definitely better to choose a Govt. funded or Govt. aided institute than a private institute under Anna University.

There are various grounds on which these two colleges compete and there are various parameters on which the colleges should be analyzed before making the final decision.
