    My review of this college.
    Placements: Our college has many opportunities for campus placements and job opportunities. If we are eligible for the selection process, then there is a high chance of getting a job. Every year almost 85% of the college students are offered placements in reputed Indian and foreign MNCs. The average stipend offered is Rs. 10,000 per month but the internship is good for industry exposure, and we get certificates and join the same company. Companies like Tech Mahindra, eBay, Amazon, Visual BI, Mu Sigma, Lister, Zoho, Google interns, Microsoft intern cum FTE, TCS, Wipro, etc., visit the college for placements.
    Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are very good. Very affordable options are available as single rooms, double rooms, and four sharing rooms. There are rooms with attached bathrooms in four sharing rooms which are very spacious and ventilated. The food is purely vegetarian. So people who love vegetarian food would get adjusted.
    Faculty: Faculty members are experienced and they have in-depth knowledge about the subjects and drive students in a very professional manner. There are more than 100 lecturers and professors at this university. Every faculty has their own expertise in their subjects. For MBA, many faculty members are PhD holders from renowned universities. A semester system is followed and importance is given to both the practical and theoretical knowledge. There are mid-semester exams to test the progress during the middle of the semesters. There is a semester exam for every semester which is of 70 marks. The course curriculum is really good and professional. Industrial visits are organized for students. The course contains the usual MBA subjects which are designed by the institution since it is a deemed university. There's no specific industry-specific knowledge provided for students.

    Campus life which has good environment and placements.
    Placements: In my opinion, it is the best university for offering campus placements. From 6th semester we will get the campus placements and I have interview for 13 companies but I am selected in 4 companies, which are TCS, Cognizant, L&T Mindtree, and Tata Power. In our batch, the highest package was 34 LPA, and average package was 4.5 LPA. 80% of the students were placed during recession. I have joined in Tata Power. Some of my friends have joined in M.Tech in VLSI design.
    Infrastructure: The hostels are good and bad, like new buildings are good but older ones are bad. The hostel registration is a headache. The mess food is partially good. The fees range from 16000 to 28000 for the hostel rooms based on the room type, and this is a yearly fee. Strictly no AC. Mess fees range from 4000 to 5000 monthly. Strictly no Non-Veg. The locality for taking PG is Thanjavur or Vallam.
    Faculty: The curriculum is well designed and will be effective for higher studies and helpful for placements. Most papers are useful in the real world. The frequency of exams are the main trouble but there is good gap for studying during the semester exams. Class Size: 60 Course Fees: INR 80000 per year

    SASTRA University - An honest review.
    Placements: Placements here were top-notch, with 4th-semester students becoming eligible for campus placement offers. Companies that come to our campus included Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, Deloitte, Infosys, and many more. The average package was around 10 LPA, the highest package goes up to 42 LPA, and the lowest package was 2.5 LPA.
    Infrastructure: Hostels were great, especially the new ones. They had the best facilities, from the mess to AC, Wi-Fi, security, and cleanliness. The mess menu changed according to the students' collective decision, and the hostel council approved it. The food was 8/10. The registration process was provided in detail on the website, however, being physically present at the time of document submission was necessary. The space was enough to accommodate a lot of people, especially girls.
    Faculty: The course was beautifully built in such a way that it helped me to enhance and gain in-depth knowledge, even about a small concept. Faculty members were highly knowledgeable and patient enough to clear our doubts. I really enjoy the sessions. Exams here were held in a semester pattern, which was very difficult to pass, but if students attended the daily lectures, they could easily pass the exam. Class size was 57.
