Course Curriculum Overview
I like biotechnology personaly and the facilities available for biotechnology is huge in SASTRA particularly so I choosed. There are lot of practical experience in college, But in academic wise I would say low, too much focused on exams and other things. But you have opportunities for you can use them Improve ment in practical application and lab experiments needed We will be having a CIA after one month from the start of semester the two CIA s will be held at one month gap each
Internships Opportunities
Companies like biocon provide lab technician roles, And in Other fields most of them are software related and IT. We will do mini project and project in 7th and 8 th sem respectively. We may do the project and present them or do intern in other companies.

You just have to choose what type of room you want and you will be provided hostel. Hostel is cheap like starts 1500 a month In first year I was in clg hostel then I rented a PG just outside college campus.
Admission
I got confirmed admission for Loyola college Chennai, but I had to choose between SASTRA and Loyola I chose sastra because it is a lot better and nearby for me. I didn't get rejection from any other colleges. Admission process is fully online, and your state board exams , CBSE exam marks and jee also be considered. For tamilnadu state board and CBSE 80% engineering cut off is needed for biotech andmat vary for other courses like 95% for CSE JEE more than 95 percentile is needed for CSE and more then 90 is enough for biotech
Faculty
For every 20 students one staff will be present Student staff ratio 1:20. Faculty are approachable they are friendly mostly except some. Arumugam he is friendly and you ask doughts about anything he will answer or he will the next day Saravanan he is the stereotypical faculty I don't like him personally For each semester 3 CIA will we conducted and best of two will be taken for you internals
