Welcome to AMS Veltech. The AMS Veltech Portal, a vital tool for students and faculty at Vel Tech University, streamlines academic tasks like checking attendance, accessing exam schedules, and registering for courses. However, login issues can occasionally disrupt access to this platform. One common and effective solution to resolve these issues is clearing your browser cache. This article provides a comprehensive guide on why clearing your browser cache is essential, how to do it across popular browsers, and additional tips to ensure smooth access to the AMS Veltech Portal.
Why Clear Your Browser Cache?
A browser cache stores temporary files, such as images, scripts, and other website data, to speed up page loading during subsequent visits. While this improves browsing efficiency, cached files can sometimes become outdated or corrupted, leading to issues like failed logins, error messages, or outdated content on the AMS Veltech Portal (accessible at ams.veltech.edu.in). Clearing the cache removes these files, forcing the browser to fetch fresh data from the server, which can resolve many login-related problems.

Common symptoms indicating a need to clear the cache include:
- Error messages like “Invalid Credentials” despite correct login details
- The portal is loading an outdated version of the website
- Inability to log in or frequent session timeouts
- Missing or broken features, such as course registration forms

- Try a Different Browser or Device:
- If issues persist, test the portal on another browser or device to rule out browser-specific problems.
- Disable Browser Extensions:
- Some extensions (e.g., ad blockers or VPNs) may interfere with the portal. Disable them temporarily and try again.
- Contact Support:
- If clearing the cache doesn’t resolve the issue, reach out to your class advisor or the IT support team at Vel Tech University. You can also email themegaactivity@gmail.com (verify with your department for the correct contact).
Preventive Measures
To minimize future login issues:
- Regularly clear your browser cache (e.g., every few months).
- Keep your browser updated to the latest version.
- Avoid using unsupported or outdated browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer).
