VISTAS Chennai, B.Sc, Cyber Security

Reviewed on Apr 3, 2022(Enrolled 2018)

Remarks

VELS university provides some interesting courses for its students in various streams related to the current technology. I was admitted in B.Sc Cyber Security. The admission criteria are very simple as you need to pass 10+2 with a minimum of 55% and must have computer science/mathematics/statistics. The entire application process was done online. The admission fee is Rs.3950 for this course.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course content is kept up to date with the technology since it is a technical subject. I found IoT much more interesting than other subjects. Assignments and projects helped us increase our knowledge and opened up our minds to new inventions. Seminars were conducted every month. Exams consisted of practical questions and real-life case studies. The strength of the class was also kept minimal.

Course Fees: INR 84000 per year

Placement Experience

The placements here are decent. The highest package went to Rs. 8 LPA. Both Indian and domestic MNCs visit the campus for job opportunities. My entire batch sat for the placements and got some great packages in the field of cyber security. The college has maintained a 100% placement record. Recruiters who visit the campus are TCS, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Indiamart, ICICI Bank, and Wipro.

Fees and Financial Aid

Very less students opted for scholarships in my batch. The total amount for this course is Rs.2.41 lakhs including every charge except hostel ones. Awards are given in the form of tuition fee waivers based on scores obtained in VEE and PCM in the 12th standard. Separate form filling is required for the application for scholarships. I didn't apply for any scholarship or financial aid from the bank.

Campus Life

Nakshatra was my favorite cultural event of the year. I used to participate in this every year and my personality grew a lot in these years. International sports conferences also invited a lot of audiences and all the sports enthusiasts. The campus is spread around huge acres with lush green gardens and a fountain. The weather was also nice but mid humid. I enjoyed my life there and those 2 years were best.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
