B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2029

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. Roles offered are data analyst, SDE, data scientist and many other roles like full-stack developer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
