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

3.20 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 Velammal Engineering College Chennai for ECE?

RM
Ritabrita Mitra Posted On : March 29th, 2023
studied at Indian Statistical Institute

Velammal Engineering College, located in Chennai, is a well-known institution that offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including ECE. However, there are some concerns about the college that are mentioned below:

  • Funding: Velammal Medical College and Velammal Schools need money and are funded by VEC, VIT, and Velammal College in Madurai. 
  • Charges and Food: VEC charges a breakage fee at the end of the semester, even if nothing has been broken. Additionally, the canteen and mess are overpriced, and there have been reports of bugs and worms in the food.
  • Faculty: Most of the professors at VEC are lazy and are busy motivating their students to do their Ph.D. work. While some professors may be less passionate about teaching, others may be more engaged with their students and committed to providing quality education.


Lab Assistants: Most of them are rude, and the procedure to use lab equipment is lengthy. While this may be a concern, it's important to remember that lab assistants are responsible for ensuring that lab equipment is used safely and effectively. The procedures in place may be necessary to prevent damage to the equipment or ensure the safety of the students.
