LIFE IN VELTECH UNIVERSITY

I chose Veltech University mainly based on the words of my seniors from my school who were students of my university and some were even placed by the time I joined. This college provided effective teaching and all types of facilities provided at much lesser fees compared to other colleges. I took direct admission by going to the college office in Chennai in May 2018 and it has been good since then. Though I never faced any difficulties personally I would like to mention the strict management of this college and the strict rules and regulations inside the campus and sometimes even out of the campus too.

I had an interest in Mobiles and Communication since the very day I had a mobile phone which made me pursue this stream. Veltech University provides a lot of modern labs and facilities for efficient teaching of any course. My own department has around 150 faculties and around 1300 students including all batches. We have one internal exam in a month along with assignments which generally ends with the Semester exam after 4 months.

Veltech provides a lot of short term courses and internships for the learning of the students since the 3rd Semester. Some of the companies I remember were Mathworks, Veltech TBI, Zoho etc. Veltech has its own portal known as Examly where they conduct regular tests so that students are always prepared for these tasks and internships.

Students are allowed to sit for campus drives from the 6th semester provided they fulfil the eligibility criteria. In 2020 the highest package offered was 12 LPA by Byjus to a student of ECE Dept. 85% of the students were placed by companies such as Infosys Byju's TCS Capgemini Accenture etc. I am also planning to get placed as soon as possible after getting my degree.

Veltech University has never hiked their fees and has always stuck to the same hostel and academic fees which was said to be taken at the time of admission. I got a 50% scholarship on Merit and I took no financial assistance as such.

Veltech University conducts many fests including the main college fest known as LAVAZA and many other small tech fests on occasions such as Science Day etc. Classrooms are spacious and equipped with projectors and computers for presentation purposes. Veltech University also has various clubs such as Sports Club, Art Club etc though forming a new club is a bit tedious process. One has to get approval from a lot of higher authorities to form a new club or social group within the college.

Hostels at Veltech have a wide range of amenities starting from lush green fields to the gymnasium for both boys and girls separately, Canteens for some evening snacks and fast food, Washing machines, Laundries, temples and a lot more. Wardens are proficient in English and Hindi and also Telugu which makes communication easier. One needs to register for the hostel at the time of semester registration along with a preferred room if it is available.
