B.Tech. in Information and Communication Technology - Batch of 2026

2.2

2.0Placements3.0Infrastructure1.0Faculty2.0Crowd & Campus Life3.0Value for Money

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.

Infrastructure: There is no proper cricket ground and the maintenance is very poor. Gym infrastructure is not good. The equipment is outdated. Sports contests are not organized properly. Systems in labs are outdated. They are not updated periodically.

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.

Other: Information and Communication Technology has some Electronics subjects, but they are of little use to students. Events and fests are organized very rarely and are not very engaging.

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life3.0Value for Money

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

Placements: Around 60–70% of students get placed in our course. Some students also get internship opportunities through college support. Companies like TCS, Infosys, and other local companies visit for placements. The average package offered is around 3 to 4 LPA. Placement training is provided for aptitude tests and interviews.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent for students. Classroom and library facilities are good and useful for studies. Wi-Fi is available in some areas. Hostel rooms are okay, and the food quality is average. Sports and medical facilities are available, but can be improved further.

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.

Other: The course is worth the fees to some extent because students get a good learning experience and basic placement support. Workshops and seminars are also conducted for students. Campus life is good, and students can enjoy different events and activities. The crowd is decent, and students from different backgrounds study together. Cultural events and extracurricular activities are conducted regularly.

3.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

I have the best experience at the college.

Placements: 90 percent of students get placed here. My course is of teaching, so it provides the basic starting salary of Rs. 18,000 per month. Many schools, even from other states, come to hire from SASTRA University for the value of education provided.

Infrastructure: Our college provides good food and neat hostel infrastructure. Each hostel has a warden, dogs for safety at night, its own name, and a play area. Hostellers can go to the library and utilise the area till night. There is also a gym inside the campus, which is very helpful for physical well-being.

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.

Dissatisfied with placements and training, but satisfied with infrastructure and professors.

Placements: I am a 2027 batch student. My course is Computer Science and Business Systems. Currently, I am in the 6th semester. Only two students have received summer internships. Only one got selected at Wells Fargo and another at Roche. There are 66 students in our branch. Very few students got internships. The top roles offered are SWE Intern and Data Intern. Many students also appear for companies like Fidelity, JPMC, Rocket India, and PWC, but no one receives offers from these companies.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed in both the hostel and campus is low. Labs are air-conditioned and properly maintained. However, classrooms are not air-conditioned and become very hot during the summer. The mess food quality is bad, especially the dinner food. The medical and sports facilities are good enough.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is quite good. However, this course is now not considered relevant. It has been removed for the 2028 batch of students. The semester exams are easy. Student can score a good GPA by studying one day before the exam. Pass percentage is around 98 percent.

Other: I did not choose this as my first preference. It is my last option because I do not get into better colleges. It is based on my JEE score.

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

Placements: In Chemical Engineering, we only have placements through on-campus recruitment. Only a few companies related to the chemical stream come to our college. But compared to past years, the count is increasing. You will get placed on campus, or you can try outside, too.

Infrastructure: The course was really good. the first year will be hectic, but after that, if you learn with full interest, you will enjoy it. The hostel is good, and the mess food will be a little satisfying, but you can still manage. The infrastructure and atmosphere are good. In the hostels, there are juice shops and a canteen; you will have all the facilities according to the price.

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.

Placements: Around 70-80% of students are placed this year. Students with a CGPA above 6.5 are placing if they are strong in basics and skills. Qualcomm, TCS, etc. Around 60% of students are placing in internships in VLSI, embedded systems, RF systems, cybersecurity, electronic manufacturing systems, Bajaj, etc.

Infrastructure: They are providing clean classrooms, high facility labs, and a very good library that contains many informational topics. Basic provision of hospital and health services. Mess food is not appreciable, but can be managed. High encouragement in various sports and games. We can use labs at any time we want.

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.
