Vels Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies, Chennai - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

One of my friends recently graduated from VEL Tech University and according to him, IT usually gets more companies than other departments such as MECH, EEE, AUTO, and AERO. 

A few students get placed in the core sectors; however, these core sector companies have limited vacancies, and they want students who are experienced (meaning they have held an internship or completed some projects), and they don't want to waste time training freshmen. 

You don't need to look for a job to get better placements; instead, you should master abilities in a specific field better than everyone else, then apply to the firms/companies, and you will almost certainly get hired.

Here is the highlight of the recent placement drive at the institute. 

• The placement average for the institute is 89%.
• The average CTC offered by the institute is 17 LPA. While the highest CTC offered is 28 LPA.
• The major recruiters at the institute are Dell, TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Byju’s, etc. 
• Almost 75% of students participate in internships. 

The institute has a great placement cell that attracts a large number of enterprises with higher packages. In addition, twice-weekly career guidance workshops are held. Professors with advanced degrees are assigned to teach online tests, which are administered under the supervision of a knowledgeable teaching team.

I have a few friends from Vel Tech University and here is their insight regarding the placements at the institute. 

• Most companies that come for placements at the institute are from the IT sector. There are very few core companies for departments like Mechanical Engineering, EEE, Automobile Engineering, Aerospace Engineering. 
• The core companies that visit the campus placement also have very few vacancies and they usually prefer students who are well experienced. Most of these companies prefer applicants who have done internships or have done projects of some kind. 
• According to the recent placement highlights, around 89% of students get placement offers. The average package offered is around 17.25 LPA. While the highest package offered is 28 LPA. 

The placement cell in the institute plays a pivotal role in inviting top-tier companies to the campus. Also, career guidance programs are held almost twice every week. There are highly professional teachers who conduct online exams to help students understand the various corners of the market demands. Overall, you will have decent placement opportunities at the institute.
