Mainly IT companies visit the Sathyabama University campus for recruitments. On the other hand, very few core companies visit the campus for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Aero, Auto and Pro. Even the ones that do visit, mostly end up not recruiting any students.
The CS and IT department receives top companies like Oracle and HP. But the eligibility criteria of such companies is very high. Mass recruiters like Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro also visit the campus, and are quite easy to crack. Unfortunately, the university does not see any dream companies or high paying companies during placements.
This is the entire placement scenario at Sathyabama University.
As a B.Tech CSE student at Sathyabama University, I can tell you about my branch and my university.
I got in through management quota, the other way is entrance. I booked my seat before my 12th result by paying 50k and providing my 10th marksheet. For this, I visited the university in March after my public exam. After your 12th result, you can visit and confirm your seat. You’ll get in even with low marks in class 12th. The fee is around 2 Lakhs per year, but the infrastructure and other facilities are good.
Through entrance, you’ll need a rank below 3000. Still, it isn’t sure that you’ll get CSE. CSE seats are completely filled in the first counseling round itself. My friend acquired 1600 rank, but couldn’t get into CSE. Getting in through entrance is extremely difficult due to high competition. Take this route only if you are sure of ranking high in the exam.
This is how you can get into Sathyabama University for your CSE. I do not know about the admission process in Hindustan University.
I completed my B.Tech from Karunya University, but I can tell you a bit about Sathyabama as well.
Sathyabama offers decent academics, good quality mess food, and good placements. But it is located very far away from the main city (Chennai). Moreover, its infrastructure is not up to the mark. Its biggest disadvantage is that students of the opposite gender are penalized for even interacting with each other. Boys and girls are separated right from the counseling process.
Karunya University is located in a beautiful and serene landscape, and surrounded by mountains on all sides. It has good infrastructure and quality education. Its placements are average. Its hostels are good, and the mess food is good as well. It has strict rules only for first years. It has a diverse student population, with students from other Indian states and countries as well. Hostel is mandatory for B.Techs, but not for some degrees.
It charges high fees, and some of its departments have poor placements. The rules are very strict about clean shaving. The faculty takes out personal grudges on students’ internal grades. Most of the hostels are located far away from the campus.
According to me, Anna University affiliated colleges are much more affordable for B.Tech studies. So you may consider them instead of these two universities.
If you want better education, good placements, and decent living standards, join Sathyabama University. On the other hand, if you want an affordable college and cheaper living standards, join LNCT Bhopal. Even LNCT offers decent placements, so do not worry on that front.
Make your choice based on your family’s economic condition. If there’s no financial constraint, I would recommend you opt for Sathyabama University.
