We can trust the SASTRA SRC campus. Don't worry about the 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.

A college with below-average placements, suitable only for students who just want to study all day.

Faculty: Faculty members are very strict and are not supportive. Some of them are biased and do not prepare students for placements. Proper guidance for semester examinations is also not provided. There are three internal exams per semester, which are really unnecessary and time-consuming for students.

It is a good MBA course with decent faculty and a campus life.

Faculty: Faculty members are friendly and helpful to students. Most teachers explain subjects clearly and support students during projects and presentations. The MBA curriculum is relevant and includes practical topics. Semester exams are manageable if students study regularly.

I have the best experience at the college.

Faculty: Teachers support all students a lot by providing good guidance. Seniors will guide juniors in all possible ways. The good thing about Sastra is that it values every student without trouble. At times, the higher officials will not support parents and pull them into everything.

Actually, the college is improving in various parts. In the placement part, the count is increasing.

Faculty: The faculty will be very good and helpful. The course teaching is enough to clear the GATE exam. Semester exams will be a little difficult, but the overall pass percentage is above average. Whatever doubt you have, you can contact the faculty; each student will have separate mentors.

There is good infrastructure, professors, and machinery.

Faculty: Not everyone, but most of the teachers are highly qualified. We can join under any professor for research because many of them are working and searching under a specific domain. Only particular schools like electronics, electrical, mechanical, and computer.

I suggest students take admission if they are not getting into the top government colleges.

Faculty: Teaching quality is very good, even though some of them compare this college with some NITs. The exam rules are too strict. If we are caught while cheating, they will put 0 for all subjects in internals. The weightage of internal is 50 percent on our result. The pass percentage is 50 percent.

Our department provided enough knowledge to students to be industry-ready. Exams were difficult because they gave more problem-solving skills. Above 50% is the pass percentage.

Best for students' careers.

Faculty: Most of the faculty are IIT graduates with Ph.D. and also with several projects. They have a clear understanding of the industry and future demand, and they train students based on that demand.

It’s overhyped, but still better than other colleges in our state.

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.

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.
