Which is better, Velammal or Thiagarajar?

AB
Aniket Bose Posted On : May 28th, 2021
studied BE CSE at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India

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.

Category

Velammal

Thiagarajar

1st Year Fees (BE)

65,000

50,000

Average CTC

3 LPA

3.20 LPA

Companies Visited

Amazon, Dell, KPMG, etc.

HCL, Hyundai, Nokia, etc.

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.

How is the hostel at Thiagarajar Engineering College?

SV
Suresh Varma Posted On : May 28th, 2021
studied Information Technology at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India (20

I have a friend who is a Thiagarajar alumnus. He had a pretty good experience during his stay at the hostel. Here is his input. 

  • The afternoon lunch at the boy’s hostel is great.
  • TCE hostels are pretty old and are covered with a lot of trees around. On the west side of the Men’s Hostel, there are mountains. You will be amongst nature. 
  • There is an availability of 24 hour WiFi facilities that help the students in surfing the internet more and more. The maintenance is also pretty good.
  • The rules at the hostels are not that strict. You have to reach the hostel on or before 9:30 PM other than Saturdays. Permit time for Saturdays is until 2 in the morning. 
  • There’s a grocery store just outside the hostel premises which stays open until late at night. 
  • There’s a Volleyball court and a Shuttle court where you can play any time. 

Every college hostel is more or less the perfect place to learn, enjoy and live happily. Thiagarajar hostel is not an exception.
