SASTRA University Placements: High Packages & Top Recruiters

SASTRA University is a good university to pursue your higher studies. The accessibilities are huge. Most of the apps developed for university are by the students of DCS (Developer Community of Sastra). Factors that made me to choose this particular institute is its annual fee is affordable compared to other universities. University timings are 8:45 AM to 5:15 PM.

Regarding the exams, 3 CIA's and a semester exam is conducted in each semester. In addition, the standard of the paper: easy, tough, or moderate depends on the faculty in charge but it is moderate often. Regarding the curriculum, it has well updated curriculum and mainly helps in interviews. Curriculum is so wide but selected. The curriculum prepares us for real world applications. I cannot point out the areas of improvements in the course curriculum, as I am a fresher. Timings of CIA's is 1.5 hours and semester exam are 3 hours.

First year student's total tuition fee is Rs. 1,70,000, making it Rs. 85,000 per semester. Many scholarships are available internally. After 1st year, sem fee is increased by 5%. Tuition fee is same for all courses and there is no particular amount for selected course. Seat is allotted totally based on merit and no recommendations from higher authorities are accepted. There is a separate quota for Tamil Nadu students, separate for Thanjavur & Trichy, and separate for NRI.

Almost all faculties of SASTRA University are PhD holders and Doctorates. They teach well with good study material and PYQs. Since all faculties are well educated, they teach us in a very good, easy, and simple manner. We can understand easily. Some of the faculties use smart boards or projectors to project their PPTs and teach us visually. Regarding the methods of teaching , PPTs, group discussions and green boards are used.

From 5th or 6th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Often visited companies like TCS, Wipro, Zoho, etc. are part of its campus drive. Highest package offered is around 35 to 40 LPA and average is 10 LPA. Almost 88 to 90% of students get placed every year.

Hostels rooms are non-AC but well ventilated. In off-campus hostels of the university (Vinaya hostel), single, double & triple sharing rooms are available. There are three hostels buildings (block 1, 2, and 3). Hostel fee is affordable as the shared rooms cost just Rs. 1,60,000 per year and individual rooms are just Rs. 25,000 per year, which is affordable. Girl’s and boy’s hostels are separate. Mess food quality is good not too bad. 3 meals a day and snacks are offered to the students daily. The mess fee should be separately paid every month. Rules are just same as all other hostels, no smoking or drinking and no ragging. Overall experience is insane over here. Timing is by 8: 30 PM, hostel gates will be closed and 5:30 AM in the morning, gates will be opened. During nighttime, no one is allowed to roam inside the campus.

Campus size of SASTRA University is too large as it is built in about 232 acres. Classrooms are non-AC but well ventilated properly. Library, conference hall, and discussion rooms are available inside the campus. During 1st year, books need to bought by students themselves & we have to pay for it. From second year no need of books as they are available in the library. There is wide range of books and journals available in the library. 24/7 medical facilities are available in the university. Labs are tremendous and built as per the requirement. All equipment are working well and good. With respect to sports, there is nothing short.
