Chennai, 17 October (H.S.) : The VELS Medical College and Hospital, a unit of VELS Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies (VISTAS), successfully hosted the VELS Academic Excellence Awards 2025 at its Periyapalayam campus.

A major focus of the event was a session on Career Guidance and Counselling delivered by renowned educationist Thiru. Jayaprakash Gandhi. He highlighted the rising importance of interdisciplinary learning, noting that approximately 63% of UPSC Civil Services Examination qualifiers between 2017 and 2021 were engineering graduates. Thiru. Gandhi encouraged students to explore innovative academic programs, such as B.Tech in Defence Technology and B.Tech in Law, and to stay updated with cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Emerging Career Fields Thiru. Gandhi specifically advised students to consider careers in medicine, nursing, and teaching, projecting them as among the highest-paying professions in the future. He also singled out Optometry and Cardiac Care Technology as increasingly vital fields due to modern lifestyle changes demanding greater attention to eye and heart health.
