SASTRA (Deemed to be University) Thanjavur Answered Questions

For the first round of counselling, the all India ranks till 778 only were called under stream 2 and the Tamil Nadu ranks till 450 (around) were only called. So, in the second and third round counselling, the AIR till 2000 or 3000 will only be called and TNR ranks till a maximum of 1500 could be called. The 3 rd round counselling has been opened at www.sastra.edu, with that you may check whether you have chances in the 3rd round counselling or not. I think with the TNR rank you might get chances for 3 rd round counselling.

Hi buddy, I wouldn't say better. Infrastructure, technical support, facilities, extra curricular activities, all these aspects are similar. NITs are well established, funding support for research projects are better compared to SASTRA. I would rank them equal if not NITs bit comparatively better than SASTRA. As everyone says it's in your hands and your personal ability to make use of the best facilities and infrastructure available.
Hope this helps!

SASTRA University is better than some NITs (some NITs does not include NIT Trichy). SASTRA University has better placements and salary packages as they have many tie ups with MNCs. They also offer Industrial exposure and Internships.
The infrastructure is also good at SASTRA University.
If you are aspiring to be a good engineer with a placement in top companies and also with a good salary then SASTRA University is a good choice.
Top 5 NITs are better than SASTRA. If you don't get a good course in those top 5 NITs then SASTRA University will be the better choice.
