College life at SASTRA

Usually, the University conducts an entrance exam for freshers. But due to the Covid pandemic, they were not able to conduct an exam. So, seats were given based on JEE Mains percentile and 12th-grade GPA. The application will be available on the official website of SASTRA University. The application fee is 300 INR. Students from Thanjavur or Trichy have reservation opportunities.

I have chosen Electronics Engineering because I felt like it gives me something to be proud of rather than sitting in front of a computer my whole life. This course gives us field experience and makes us feel like real engineers. The faculty: student ratio is approximately 1:10 which we were told in our orientation before joining the University. Each faculty follows a different mode of teaching and coaching. But everyone gives their best to make students seek and learn. You can find some of the best professors in Electronics here. Each semester has 3 trimesters. So we'll have 3 term exams usually 1 in 45 days. The question paper standards are very high since the faculty doesn't compromise in case of getting knowledge out of the students. But it's not impossible to crack the paper. It all depends on the amount of time students invest in studying.

The University has many degrees available ranging from law, B.Ed., B.Tech, Mtech, Ph.D., etc. Students are provided with many internship opportunities from their 4th semester. Students will be assigned projects from their 6th semester.

Students become eligible for campus placements from their 7th semester. All of the companies made offers. The highest package would be 48 lahks per annum and the average package is 10 lakh per annum according to my knowledge. 92 percent of the students get placed.

The tuition fee for each semester is about 85,000. So it makes 1,70,000 per year. And hostel fee depends on the type of room we choose, ranging from 8,000 to 16,000 INR per year. The University accepts education loans. Many scholarships are available. Students can apply before or right after joining the University.
