A decent college within chennai city.
Aug 07, 2020 10:03 AM746 Views (via Mobile)

Our college is located within chennai city. It is in onroad so it is easy for one to travel. Our college is affiliated to anna university and it is a 25 year old prestigious institution. It is consisted of good infrastructure with big playground, seperate auditorium, av room, seminar hall, well equipped classrooms and laboratories etc. It follows the curriculum of anna university. Seperate hostel facilities for both male and female candidates. Transport facilities are also available. 3 exams are conducted before semester exam. Friendly faculties and lab assistants. Better placements now a days. Other than studies extra curricular activities like symposium, culturals, sports day etc are celebrated every year. Students are often taken for industrial visits per 6 months. Overall it is a good college within chennai city.

Infrastructure:


First of all, do not fall for the pictures of the campus on the website. That is a complete scam. The reality is that the buildings would crumble down any minute and haven't been painted in decades. All the fields which look green and nice are so gross in monsoon season as the bushes are never trimmed and look like overgrown agricultural fields with water clogged till knee depth. Exorbitant fees for such horrible infrastructure and pathetic atmosphere. We didn't even have clean drinking water on the campus.


Quality of education: The most pitiful part was we borrowed books and notes from other departments and colleges like Panimalar and St.Joseph as mine did not want to spend on books. There was an inter-department rivalry going on and since the head of EEE was responsible for books, he saved the good books for his department and gave us horrible ones(for the common subjects). The lab assistants and peons treated us like some slaves, bossing around. Thankfully, we had some good professors who taught us well and helped get notes.


Nearest transportation: The bus stop is 20-25 minutes away and a hassle to walk during peak summer/monsoon seasons.


Canteen/Hostel: Average. I ate canteen food only once(as I didn't bring lunch that day) and never tried it again. Felt bad for my hostel friends who came all the way from their hometown to study here.


Last but not least, ZERO placements offered. We didn't have a single CORE company for campus placements except for a few BPOs. Now, who would want to work for a BPO after studying Engineering? I have no idea!


Value for money: After reading my review, if you still want to spend 3 Lakhs for a degree in this college, GOOD LUCK!

Our college is located within the chennai city and it is near by thiruvanmiyur railway station. Our college is affiliated to anna university and 3 exams were conducted( 2 unit test and one model exam) it is very useful for the candidates to cover the syllabus within three months. The college campus is shared by tj institute of technology and davinci school of design and architecture. Most of the faculties are good except some professors are not up to the core. Our college has a decent infrastructure with well equipped laboratory and playground. Transport and canteen facilities are available in our college. Many activities are conducted for students sake. Also industrial visit also taken for every semester. Restroom facilities are not good. Average college fees and little strict management. No Xerox shop is available inside the college campus. Placement cell provides the placement for 2nd to final year students but the number of placed students is less. Only bpo companies have visited our college campus. From all the above it is a above average college within the chennai city.

A college as they say..

Location: Thangavelu College is roughly 20 km from Chennai Central, located slightly off the OMR near Karapakkam. The college is on the highway and there are many buses plying on the highway. The college has its own bus service but the number of buses is very few. Some students travel by their own vehicle where as most use the MTC buses which is usually very crowded. Infrastructure:


Like most of the colleges on OMR, campus of Thangavelu too is huge. The campus is shared with T.J Institute of Technology. The college has decent labs with most of the equipment in working conditions. Classrooms are spacious and well ventilated. The college does have sports ground but not well utilized.


Hostel facilities are available but they aren’t clean. Overall condition of hostel is bad. Mess food is very bad. Students hate the food. Hostel charges are approx. 65, 000 a year. Fees:


About Rs 25, 000 per year. Faculty: The faculty here is not something students praise a lot about. Teachers keep changing and there are very few teachers who have stayed for long with the college. Most of the teachers are fresher who come here for experience and then leave it within a year or two. Mechanical department is worst affected by this. There are rumours that college doesn’t pay teachers well and hence they leave soon. Attendance and Discipline:


Every semester students are expected to attend for a minimum of 85 days. It also depends on how your department is, if they are lenient then there may be some relaxation in the minimum attendance. Overall the college isn’t as strict as many other Anna University affiliated colleges. Crowd:


The crowd comprises of most of the students from the area nearby. There are many students from Tambaram and some parts of Chennai. Few students are there from other parts of Tamil Nadu and absolutely no students coming from the other parts of the country. Canteen:


Canteen is just a small shop where only packed food is available. You can guess how the canteen must be. Festivals:


College does have an intra-college cultural festival which is the only activity taking place in the college. Unlike other colleges there are no symposiums in Thangavelu. In matters of extracurricular, this is a bit dull college. Placements:


College claims to have placed 90% of the students. When asked about placements to students they didn’t seem quite happy. There are mostly IT firms visiting the campus and no core companies. Average package offered to students stands at 2.5 LPA.


Some of the companies who have visited the campus are: Infosys, TCS, Wipro, CTS, HCL and many more.
