My Journey at VELS, University

To enroll myself to this college, I checked the eligibility criteria and when I found myself eligible for this college, I filled the application form in March. While filling the form, I paid 1100 as application fee as well as all the details asked therein. Also, I filled my CAT score along with the previous academic details like marks obtained in 10th, 12th, and undergraduate. Further, based on my academic record, I got shortlisted for admission.Moreover, there are too many reasons which made me to take admission to this college .So, the first one is its ranking, and accreditation as my university ranked 50th in South India's Private Business School by Business World. In addition to this, it is accredited with Grade 'A' by NAAC and is recognised by UGC. Other than the ranking and recognition, it's placement rate is 100% and the course fee is just 1.5 lakhs which was accessible. So, as a result of these my facilities provided in our college, I enlisted in here.

The course curriculum is designed such that we get exposure to global business standards and fix the problems thereof.Further, the Board of studies of our University is responsible for designing the course curriculum. And so, the curriculum includes value added programs and extra-curricular activities for our growth and development. Like webinars, seminars, screening, workshops, management games, business quizzes, paper presentations and others as well.Besides, industrial visit and summer internship are the significant part of the course curriculum.In all this, our faculty members plays important role as they focus on imparting both theoretical part and practical part of the syllabus along with the training sessions to nurture our leadership qualities, communication skills, interpersonal skills, human skills, analytical skills, personality development skills, and many more. However, faculties also keep on motivating us to take part in community development and initiate industry research projects. In one word, If I say then our faculty members who are highly qualified are responsible for endowing quality education and encouraging for entrepreneurship.

The placement cell of our campus stays active and quite dedicated towards maintaining the placement record of 100%. They act as a bridge between the students and industry. Prior to the placement drive, our college conducts training session which focuses on developing personality, soft and technical skills, thinking ability, and other required skills. So, proceeding towards the top recruiters who visit our campus are Kotak Mahindra Bank, Cognizant, Infosys, ICICI Bank, Wipro, HCL, IBM, Amazon, Accenture, and more than hundred others. In addition to this, the highest CTC bagged was 10 LPA and the average package witnessed was 3.5-4 LPA. Also, post MBA, I will either get a job or go for higher studies.

For MBA in marketing, I paid 4 lakhs for both the years. However, during the admission time, I paid 1.5 lakhs and further, for each following semester, the tuition fee got lessen down.The college fee structure includes tuition fee, admission fee, skill enhancement fee, insurance, and registration fee. Besides this, I paid extra charges for food and accommodation. And yes, for MBA students, our college has scholarship scheme and that is on the basis of marks obtained in CAT, MAT or other management competitive exam accepted by our university. So, one who scores more than 98 percentile in CAT or MAT examination gets 50% tuition fee waiver in the first semester only. Moreover, those who obtain 96%-97% get 30% tuition fee waiver and those with 90-95 percentile in the management test get 20% concession in tuition fee.

Moreover, other than classroom lectures, our college also promote extra curricular activities and for that there are various clubs like literary club, media club, photography club, fine arts club, dance club, and other which are responsible for happenings in the college.Furthermore, the events that are organised in our university include women's day celebration, convocation function, alumni meet, cultural fest namely 'Nakshatra', National and International sports & fitness conference. And all because of these many happenings in and around the campus, my life here has been vibrant.
