College Infrastructure

For research in medical department college is providing good labs and equipments and for other departments it is just ok. Hostel food is just average we should adjust and adopt to the hostel.Regarding sports this college is just ok they will not allow us to participate in any other clg fests

Academics

Iam studying btech civil engineering.The quality of teaching is average.It is not practical. No guarranty for job in my sector but if we try in IT departments we can secure a good job.Curriculum is updated and it includes recent developmemts in fields

Placements

We cannot expect placements in core sector but we have to try hard for securing job in core sector.We can secure job in IT field most of the students will place in IT sector only.Yes college is supportive in providing placements to all the students

Value-for-money

Yes it is value for money.This college fees structure is reasonable and provide good experience to what we pay.

Campus Life

Comparing to other colleges it is quite strict they will not provide permissions to go to home.we have to return hostel by 8pm and for girls 6pm.In case of emergency they provide ambulance and cabs.The location is far away from city and it feels somewhat difficult to go to any good shops and malls

Anything Else

Overall it is good if we adapt to the college and we should maintain good relationship with seniors,staff and friends. And enjoy college life

SASTRA can be hell or heaven It's based on ur perspective

College Infrastructure

Food is the area where the management needs to concentrate more! One day when i went late to mess I understood that the workers cook soo good just for themselves not for us! The food never taste good it's like a tonic with foul smell!.

Academics

I don't know the process of selecting the faculty. But I've found that there are a few who who doesn't have subject. But there are a lot of experienced faculty whom u can trust blindly. They will guide u in the perfect way

Placements

Comparitively low in civil engineering department but if we try a bit we can get placed easily in IT. average salary offered by the companies is around 3.2lakhs. College is very supportive and helpful to make the placement easy and smooth for the students.

Value-for-money

When i joined here i paid 55k per sem as tution fees and now it has increased to 65k . Totally it costs around 1.7-1.9lakhs per annum based on the amount u spend outside. The money is totally worthy bcoz u will know how to face any situation in life besides studying.

Campus Life

Well! There a quite a few people who are soo sadistic that they will make u roam around them

Anything Else

Explore to other campus Attend each and every event and try to learn something new rather focussing on how to win.

Placements

Yet to know as I am gonna complete my bachelor's degree in the year of 2021.But as of know upto what I heard is the institution is mostly trying to provide 100 percent placements despite the unfavorable circumstances they are facing socially.
