South Asian University is not a Tier 1 or Tier 2 university in the same way that Indian engineering and general education institutions are; instead, it is a unique, intergovernmental international university for SAARC countries that provides specialised postgraduate and doctoral programs.

South Asian University for B.Teach review.

Placements: Earlier, there was no placement cell in SAU, but from now on, there is an active placement cell from June 2025, so considering its first B.Teach batch will pass out in 2028, a good placement is expected. I would say considering the rate of growth of the university and its connections in the market, we can expect a good placement.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the university is top-notch. Wi-Fi is available in classrooms, hostels, and almost every part of the college. Hostels are one of the best hostels you can get in government engineering colleges. It also has 24/7 drinking water, hot water for bathing, coffee machines, a playing area, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are top-notch in their respective fields. As SAU is a research institute, the teachers are highly qualified. The course curriculum is up to date and is very well researched! Semester exams are not that tough; if one person studies regularly, he/she can expect a good grade!

Other: I chose this because I have a great interest in CSE and also want to pursue higher studies in it. SAU is very good for research purposes, though campus life is a bit off because there are no events or fests on a large scale as such!

I'm satisfied with faculty.

Placements: The placement of our college was not too much significant but on average in that cost, it had good ROI. The placement percentage in our course was about 60%. The package offered in our course was an average of 5 LPA-6 LPA. Around 50% of students got internship offers.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course were excellent. As there were international students in the college. So the environment was very good. There was Wi-Fi campus, digital classrooms, and library with a quality reference book. The hostel was also good. Limited sports facilities were present.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college were excellent in their fields. The teaching quality of our faculty members was good. Our college had international faculty also. Course curriculum was relevant. Semester examinations of college were a little tough. Students had to prepare for the exam.

South Asian University: Worth it for money.

Placements: Currently, I am a 1st year student of M.Sc. biotechnology at FLSB South Asian University, New Delhi, India. It is an international university set up by all 8 SAARC countries. As it is a research-based university, its focus is not much more on placements. The university doesn't have a placement cell.

Infrastructure: Classrooms, labs, and a canteen are well-equipped with Wi-Fi and air conditioners. The food quality of SAU Canteen is one of the best. The hostel is an apartment type. Frequent cleanliness is maintained. The hostel campus has a health center.

Faculty: Faculty members are international graduates and well-trained in their fields of expertise. Exams are held frequently in every semester. Semester exams are a bit difficult. Semester exams consist of mid-semesters and end-semesters. In between quizzes, poster presentations, paper presentations, and assignments are given. The M.Sc. biotechnology course curriculum is very updated and designed in such a way that students can easily crack JRF, NET, and GATE exams.

Other: Faculty members of life sciences and biotechnology, South Asian University, New Delhi, India is one the best in our country, so I chose it.

Great educational facilities. Medical facilities were great having insurance of up to 1.5 lakh.

In my course, which is biotechnology, no companies come for placement. Although it provides a strong background to those interested in academics and research.

The college has multicultural environment.

Placements: There is no placement cell as the students in the batch are low. The college doesn't conduct placement drives as there are only 10 to 15 students in the class. Half of the students in our class are foreigners. Our course is research oriented. But one can take part in off-campus placement drives and get placed in a reputed company.

Infrastructure: The permanent campus is under construction, and it is located at Maidangarhi. The temporary campus is located at Chanakyapuri. It is a multi-storey fully air-conditioned building.
