Overall, it is nice, placements are good for SOC, and we have to maintain our CGPA and attendance.
Placements: Around 70 to 75 percent of students get placed. I think the average package is between 9 to 11 LPA. Companies like Infosys, Amazon, Cognizant, TCS, HCL, and many more visit for recruitment. Around 50 to 75 percent of students get placed in Amazon, HCL, TCS, etc. The top role offered in our course is software engineer, I guess..
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice and all, but sometimes the Wi-Fi speed is low and we face many problems with it. During lectures, we can use the Wi-Fi provided by SASTRA on laptops, but on phones, we do not even get network signals to speak. That is the only common problem all students face.
Faculty: Exams feature extremely difficult questions, with 2 exams conducted per day for midterms, which makes it hard to score. However, the curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are very difficult, and I think the pass percentage is around 50 percent, though I do not remember exactly.

Good placements and value for money, but too many restrictions and fewer college fests.
Placements: Up to 80% of students get placed every year. The average package is about 8 LPA, and the highest package is 44 LPA this year. Top recruiting companies include TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, and Accenture. Around 50–75% of students get internships from tech and IT giants like Amazon and PayPal. Top roles offered include Software Engineer, Full Stack Developer, etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is accessible only on laptops. Classroom and lab facilities are very good and useful for interested students. The library is open every day until 8 PM. Hostel food is entirely vegetarian, and the quality is good, but students from other states may need to adjust. There are four to five canteens inside the college. The college encourages sports and games. A sports event called Colosseum is conducted every year.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and very helpful. They encourage every passionate student in different aspects. In the first year, there are many irrelevant subjects. Core subjects start from the second year. In my opinion, these irrelevant subjects and the difficulty of the papers cause some students to get arrears.

We can trust the SASTRA SRC campus. Don't worry about the small campus.
Placements: Regarding placements, Telugu students are compared a lot with other students. Getting a job at SASTRA is easy when we maintain both CGPA and computer skills. Fluent spoken skills are also important. If we have any history of failures, the probability of getting a job is very low.
Infrastructure: The building is somewhat small. However, the educational facilities in this college are very good. Labs are good. Some computers are old. However, they are replacing them recently. This is a beautiful small campus.
Faculty: Regarding faculty, they are the best. We never felt that they were just our faculty. We treated them like our relatives because they never said no. They explain things very well. They repeat the concepts if we do not understand. They also personally teach us if we still do not understand after repetition. The staff who teach us are really very good.
Other: I chose the CSE course because many people say that in this era, AI will replace software employees. It may make software employees unemployed. But we have to know that AI is also an invention by people. If we try harder, we can overcome AI.

Satisfied with the faculty members but not with the syllabus, and it should be changed.
Placements: 99 percent of students got placed from our course, excluding the students who have arrears in subjects. The highest package is 48 LPA. The lowest package is 3 LPA. Nearly 90 percent of students got internships. They went to different companies. Students who have arrears are not eligible for placements.
Infrastructure: Everything is perfect in our college. Facilities are also modern, not in a technical way. Food is nice when compared to other colleges. Different menus are available and they support sports a lot. I won a silver medal in Sri Trophy basketball.
Faculty: Faculty is helpful. Everyone is qualified. They are well-experienced. The curriculum of our course is relevant. They make students industry-ready. Semester exams are somewhat difficult the main task for students is to maintain a good CGPA.
Other: I am interested in CSE and building some real-world projects and easily helping some people. I wish we could have AC in the classroom and projectors for every class. I want digital learning and to remove some subjects like chemistry and biology, and make students get ready for coding from the beginning of college. There are very few fests. I would like to increase the number of fests.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and campus environment.
Placements: In my senior batch, almost 70 percent of students got placed. The highest package is 40 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Recruiting companies are Paypal, Amazon, TCS, Fidelity, Wells Fargo, and Deloitte. 50 percent of students got internships.

Infrastructure: The hostel and the campus are maintained very clean. The hostel food is also of good quality. For medical purposes, there is a hospital on the campus. There is an ATM in the hostels, and many playgrounds and a stadium on campus are available for sports and games.
Faculty: The teaching is top-notch, and the subjects are also very interesting. The course curriculum is relevant and it makes us industry-ready for sure for all the branches. The difficulty level is from medium to tough. Passing percentage is 50 percent.
Other: I chose this because of the high placements available in this domain. The best thing would be that it has many interesting things to learn. About my course, they can decrease the number of lectures. Events and fests are conducted in the even semester, and they are quite fun.

A college with below-average placements, suitable only for students who just want to study all day.
Placements: Placements are not great. There is no proper assistance during placements. Placement training lasts only 8 days. It is not very helpful. They try to teach everything, but it is not effective. The placement training needs improvement and is not sufficient.

Congrats! Your 94.92 percentile in JEE Main combined with a high 970/1000 in your IPE gives you a very strong score. You score is great for core branches like ECE at the main campus during early or mid-rounds of counselling at  Sastra University, Thanjavur campus.
