Absolutely satisfied with good placements.

Placements: More than 80% of students are placed each year. 30% of students are placed in core companies and top IT companies like TCS, Accenture, and Infosys. 60% students got internship. One of my friend got internship in Caterpillar Inc. which is an American-based company.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is a bit old because SASTRA gives importance to student's education more than providing them with luxurious buildings. Wi-Fi is available at every place in the college with good speed. Good and well-equipped laboratories are available. Library is flooded with different books. An average hostel serving pure veg food.

Faculty: Many of the SASTRA faculty members are alumni of top IITs and NITs. They are Ph.D. holders. All the teachers have more than five years of teaching experience. They are more interactive. Exam question papers are from IET UK which are standard question papers with good questions.

I am satisfied with this college because of its curriculum, teachers, hostels, and campus life.

Placements: Almost 60% of students from our campus are placed. Many students are also aspiring to pursue further studies, rather than getting placed. Core companies like Dr. Reddy's, Biocon, Zifo, and coding companies like TCS, Wipro, Deloitte, etc., visit to hire students. Many internships proposals and links are being shared, for registering, and also IAS and other renowned fellowships are also offered.

Infrastructure: The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Researches are going on in many fields like nanotechnology, infectious diseases, and other areas like microbiology, vascular biology green engineering, bioprocess, cancer and dyshomeostasis, genomics, ayurveda, 3D printing, etc. Two dedicated research hubs are anusandhan kendra are available, wherein, many Ph.D. scholars, M tech, and B tech students are working, in different areas of their interest. All classrooms are equipped with projectors, and the library runs 24X7. Hostels are maintained neat and hygienic, and students are allowed to choose single, double, or five in one room. Separate girls hostel with entry checkpoints at all sides. Hygienic vegan food and RO processed Water are supplied inside the mess. Doctors are available to attend all sorts of medical situations, at all times. There are indoor stadiums and open-air grounds. There is also a gym with all the facilities to work out. Wardens would take attendance daily and there is a protocol to follow when one is taking permission/holiday to go out of the campus.

Faculty: The teachers are very friendly and are easily approachable. They teach all concepts in an understandable way, and would always take the help of many online videos, materials, and animations to explain the concepts. Almost all the teachers are involved in research and are working on a topic in the research laboratories. The curriculum covers all the necessary concepts required to pursue industrial placements, GATE, and other exams like CSIR and NET. Many teachers are also separately conducting sessions to give tips and suggestions to students aspiring for GATE and CSIR NET. The exams and preferably the end semester exams are meant to assess the understanding of the student, towards that particular topic. So they are always of high standards and it would be interesting to answer the questions that they ask.

Other: This college offers one of the best teachings for biotechnology and gives many research opportunities. More events could be conducted, both online and offline, and a bigger open-air ground could be opened wherein, major events like Kuruksastra could be conducted with ease.
