Jai's Review On SASTRA University, Thanjavur

Writing entrance exams did not have any importance for entrance in sastra. But now sastra has admissions based only on 12th marks, but the main stream of 70% admission is based on 75% of 12th marks and 25% of JEE marks. If u get above 1100 and 70 approx in Jee, it will be good enough for any course in sastra.

The course which I studied was mechanical. The teachers and faculty are very good with atleast 3 degrees. They teach you more of practicals and very polite and ready to help. Overall the curriculum is very good and is enjoyable here in this college. Sastra is known for mechanical and civil engineering courses.

The internship was good. There were 2 internships in the second and the other internship in the third year. The college itself takes the responsibility to send it's students for internship. In the second year they sent me to VIP bags for a week and in the third year they sent me for a month approximately to L&T.

The placements and job opportunities are very good and equivalent to the NIT'S of our country. Our college has a 100% placement with all the students getting placed in some company. Most of them get placed in csc companies like wipro, TCS Etc. Approximately around 1800 students get placed every year.

There are many scholarship programmes for the college as it is a very famous one. Loans are available from Indian overseas bank, city union bank Etc. Scholarships are available if you are in the hostel having a CGPA of 8 and above with attendance greater than 90%. You will get a scholarship of 12000 per year.

The campus life at sastra is very good and friendly. There is a good team coordination between students. There are many debates and competitions literally every Sunday in the college which is very advantageous for our college students in the hostel.

The alumni and senior students are very helpful. We have to select teachers every semester which we need the help of our seniors. Also the seniors can guide you regarding the extra courses known as electives. It is better to take electives regarding your department.
