It’s overhyped, but still better than other colleges in our state.
Placements: In the past, a good percentage of students got placed. But now, due to the IT slowdown and the rise of AI, placements are not as high as before. Those who have enough knowledge of the subjects still have good opportunities. I am not blaming the college for this, but students are also lacking the basic required grip on the subjects.
Infrastructure: It is not up to the mark as they claim, like being a world class university. It is just average for the fees they collect from us. They can upgrade and provide a better environment for us. There is no need to change much. Just replace basic required things like benches for sitting and some basic infrastructure.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough, but the curriculum they are following is too old and not sufficient to compete in the present advanced world. I hope they will rectify this and use a better curriculum. The subjects they are following in the very first year are almost useless and senseless. They can provide the respective branch core or the basic required skills for students.

SASTRA University life is amazing where we can meet people from various parts.
Placements: More than 90 percent of the students get placed each year. The salary is Rs 50,000 per month or more. Recruiting companies are Tata and many reputed companies. Roles offered are TL, project manager, and back-end research. The internship opportunities are available even at the college, and long-term internships are also given based on your performance. Companies easily recruit people from this university.
Infrastructure: It has good Wi-Fi system with supportive faculty members. All lab facilities are available. Food in hostel is planned according to healthy habits. Classrooms are so sophisticated. Quality of food and water is also available at any time. Clubs help in enhancing your skills even during these times but the timing is little tiering.
Faculty: We can get good internals with a well-planned study. We could score easily. Exams are easy. If we study with a good plan and strategy, internals will help in boosting our CGPA. Exams are probably 70 percent, easy to pass. Faculty members are so supportive in scoring well, making the concept understandable.
Other: I want to be an advocate, and SASTRA helps in career building with supportive faculty members and the best research ideas from the faculty. Events and fests are really enjoyable where each club conducts different events.

Satisfied because of the faculty and good placements in recent years.
Placements: Almost 95% of students got placed. The salary package offered is 29 LPA. The lowest salary package is 2.4 LPA. Almost 50% of students got internships in the core and IT branches. Bosch, Rockwell Collins, Cisco, Caterpillar, Coreel, Cypress, TCS, CTS, Wipro, Zoho, Amazon, PayPal, L&T, Cognizant, Accenture, Infosys, these are the top companies that visited in the past years.
Infrastructure: Good facilities and infrastructure available for your course/department, for example- Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library. A better quality of the facilities in your hostel. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen. The college provides medical, sports, and games facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good. The curriculum is relevant mostly practically, as students learn together in labs. The level of difficulty is moderate when studying one day before, as you can't get good grades.
Other: An ECE-focused post indicates about 50% placement for core roles and coding/IT roles, with approximately 100 ECE students placed in a batch. Another comment suggests that only a smaller number of core recruiters visit for ECE, making coding roles more common.
