How is Sastra University?

Sastra University is one of the most reputed institutes in South India, especially for engineering. In 2020, it was ranked 50 for university and 38 for B.Tech by NIRF. I have a few friends from Sastra University. 

Here are some of the information regarding the institute that my friends shared. 

Infrastructure:

• There are costly research facilities, i.e. ASK1 and ASK2. There are plenty of things that you can explore if you are genuinely interested. 
• For branches like ECE, Mech, Civil, CSE the laboratory facilities provided are excellent.
• The classrooms have projectors.
• Sastra offers hostel accommodation for their students. The hostel facilities are decent. There is a post office and ATM near the hostels. The campus has two canteens i.e Canopy and Krishna Canteen, on-campus that offers decent food at affordable prices. There are a few eateries around the campus too.

Faculty and Curriculum: 

• The faculty base of the institute is great. 
• The curriculum was renewed recently. It is updated with the industry requirements.

Mark System and Scholarships:

Sastra follows a GPA system. Having a decent GPA can help you get scholarships and even a chance to sit for placement in reputed companies. If you have a GPA of around 8.5, you can sit for companies like Amazon, Cypress, etc. Although most companies allow students with a 7.5 CGPA to sit for placements.  

Placement: 

The placement record of the institute is great. In the 2021 placement drive, the highest CTC offered by the university was 27 LPA. 

Overall, Sastra University is great. It will offer great infrastructure, decent facilities, and placement at an affordable fee.
