My journey at VISTAS has been absolutely amazing and the college faculty and administration have supported me and my endeavors throughout. The institution regularly organizes workshops and competitions to help students learn new skills. The college also organizes industrial tour and field trips on a yearly basis.. The trip allowed me to expand my intellectual horizon. I wanted to focus more on research in my final year and the college administration went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed. The teachers here are beyond amazing. I usually ask them a lot of questions regarding my projects and research and they’ve always helped me out. The administration provided an excellent infrastructure and lab facilities which is something that you don’t see a lot in most colleges. The support I received from the college allowed me to explore various fields and then choose one that I liked, of which currently I am an actor in Tamil and Malayalam cinemas.
