Indian Maritime University (IMU) Chennai is obviously better than Vels University. It has a brand of its own and is known outside of Chennai as well. Vels University, on the other hand, is just like any other university and anyone hardly outside Chennai even knows about it.  The study environment at Vels University is not at all good though other facilities are good to decent. I would say that if you want to relax and just want a degree after 3-4 years of enjoyment, go to Vels University. Otherwise, IMU Chennai is the one to go for.

The VELS University is a private university located in Pallavaram, a suburb of Chennai. Recently, it has completed 25 years of an amazing journey. It offers various branches and is available in almost all courses where you can find your dream and improve your skill. You will truly enjoy your experience at the university. You will learn discipline, enhance your skills, and improve your knowledge over the 4 years of the learning period. The faculty members are friendly and supportive. A great deal of importance is given to attendance. Most importantly, VELS University follows a dress code as you will not be allowed to wear jeans, t-shirts, leggings, piercing, etc.

Veltech University is the best option among these. It has a Choice based credit system. Students are given the freedom to choose subjects according to their interests. Veltech has many tie-ups and collaborations with foreign universities. As a student of the university, you will get good exposure and opportunities. Veltech placements are good, especially for branches like CSE and Electronics. The average CTC for the institute is around INR 4.32 LPA. 

There is no compulsory dress code for Vels Tech University. The girls of the institute are allowed to wear dresses of various kinds, including denim, t-shirts, and others, as per the choice of the students.  However, the only dresses that are not permitted by the institution, for both boys and girls, are shorts of any kind. This is however not an authorized statement. The dress code at the institute is Semi-formal or casuals. 

Hindustan University is a better option when compared to Vels Institute. Since you are looking for courses related to Arts and Science, this university will offer you the same with job-oriented courses. It offers a triple major in BA that includes English, psychology, and political science.  They also offer specialization in BBA apart from the BBA (General). The specializations offered under BBA are aviation management, Hospital and healthcare, and logistics in collaboration with logistics sector skills.  B.Com course is offered under various specializations like Banking Management and Applied Accounting.  BCA also has specializations in Multimedia and Animation and Database Systems. For the B.Sc, HITS offers Avionics Aircraft Maintenance, Fashion Design and Arts, Food Technology, Visual Communication, Cardiovascular Technology, Optometry, and Sports and Anesthesia Technology.  The university also gives BLIS, B.Voc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Autotronics, Communication Design, Food Processing Technology, and Textile Design. Apart from academics, the university provides every opportunity to excel in different extracurricular activities. There are a lot of clubs offering a joyful experience to the student life.  With such diverse courses, Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science is the best choice to study arts and science courses.

Yes, there is a provision of a sports quota in Vel Tech University. The criteria reserved for admission purposes are as followed. Students who have achieved a record of brilliance in various sports activities at National or State or District levels are permitted to apply for both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in any of the fields concerning engineering, media, or management via sports quota admission. You will need to report to the campus with essential testimonials and sports certificates of any level they played for admission.  The scholarship scheme is applicable as per the year of reference, the information of which is mentioned on the website. The scholarship benefits are expected to be renewed every year, based completely upon the performance of the student. Both open and invitation tournaments are expected to be considered.  Practice sessions are considered mandatory for the students who are selected under the sports quota. If you are often irregular at your practice sessions, the scholarship benefits can get terminated. For the selection trials, you will need to bring your personal sports kits, as per requirements. This is everything you should know about the selection procedure and the criteria by which students are shortlisted. 

Doing an MCA from Vels University will not be worth it. The college will add nothing to your professional career and the degree will become just another degree which I do not think should be your intention especially when going for a master’s degree. Following are a few points I would like to mention – Infrastructure: The campus is very small and you can literally cover the whole campus within a few minutes. You will not enjoy good campus life. Education: There are some extremely talented and experienced teachers. However, very few can guide you properly towards your goal properly. Placement:  This is one of the biggest disappointments as not even 10 companies visit the campus even though they claim a 100% placement record. Location: It is located at Pallavaram and it is still close to the bus and railway stations. So this is one of the few things I like about the college. Sports: The football team of the university regularly win trophies at various tournaments. If you are still convinced about joining this college then go ahead but I would certainly not suggest you for the same.

The school of management at Vel Tech University is reputed among the management institutes in India. It offers a variety of courses. The placement, in addition, is also equally good at the institute.  Facilities: The faculty of the institute are highly experienced.  Since the university saw its inception, it has strived to tie knots with the industrial demands and academia to help disseminate a greater knowledge base in terms of management education and pioneers of the global business environment. It boasts a modern infrastructure, technological advancements, and resources of various kinds.  According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 17 LPA.  Courses Offered: It offers courses in the domains of Human Resource Management, Marketing, Finance, IT and Systems, International Business, Logistics Management, and Shipping, Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management, Digital Marketing and other relevant subject preferences. Program Initiated in Collaboration: MBA – ILM (which is abbreviated from Integrated Logistic Managementby the Institute of Rail Transport New Delhi) MBA – Automotive Dealerships Management -Kuttukaran Institute of HRD, Ernakulam (which is, Associate Group of Popular Vehicle Services: Essentially, a Dealer of Maruti Suzuki) MBA In specialization: Digital Marketing Entrepreneurship Finance Management Global Relations, etc.  Doctoral Programme: Ph.D. – Management With many specialized courses and decent facilities, the management department of Vel Tech University is one of the best departments in the university. 

My cousin is from this institute, so I think I am eligible to answer your question. It is a well-established institution with a well-qualified faculty and a placement track record ranging from 60% to 90%. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 17 LPA.  The university has all modern conveniences, such as air-conditioned classrooms/laboratories, a fine canteen, and a pleasant environment.  However, you have to look out for expenses as if you know it is an expensive university with fewer than 210 days of classes every year. So if you can afford it, then you should definitely go for it.

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.
