I have a few friends from Sastra University. According to them, college life at Sastra is good. It offers decent academic facilities. Here are some of the things that you need to know about the institute.

  • Dress-code for boys is shirts, jeans or formal trousers. For girls, it’s Kurti or salwar.

SASTRA University, Thanjavur: Does your CGPA really matter at the end of your course?

SB
Siddhartha Bose Posted On : November 12th, 2021
B.Tech Biotechnology, SASTRA University, Thanjavur

Yes, CGPA at SASTRA does matter, especially if you have low CGPA. It will affect your placement and as well as other things. But if you are proficient in programming then you can get into companies like Google without CGPA being a problem. If you have a low GPA, you will miss out on the following things.

  • ACRS: If you want to finish your course in the 7th semester, you will need a GPA of 7.5+. To get the course you want you will need to have around an 8.5 GPA.
  • Although most companies set 7.0 GPA requirements. Most dream companies ask for a GPA of 8+.
  • You won’t be able to go to your graduation ceremony, since SASTRA only invites students with GPAs of 7.5+.

Apart from these above reasons, GPA matters for other reasons too. While hiring, companies look at your GPA, not to evaluate how much you know. Rather they want to how responsible and committed you are.

Which is the best hostel at SASTRA University?

VR
Veda Roy Posted On : November 12th, 2021
M.Tech Power Systems from SASTRA University, Thanjavur

PV Paramandra Vihar Hostel is the best at SASTRA University. A few of my friends stayed in PV. According to them, the facilities offered at the hostel are good. There are no water problems. Although at other hostels, you will face this problem from time to time. 

At PV, the hostel fees are also quite less. There is good ventilation. So, even if there is a power cut, you can sleep well. The only problem is the mess. It is situated on the ground floor and there are only two staircases. During rainy seasons, it gets a bit difficult to reach the mess.

Are there donation seats in the SASTRA University?

SG
Sautrik Ghose Posted On : October 30th, 2021
B.Tech ECE from SASTRA University, Thanjavur (2019)

I have a few friends who attended SASTRA University. According to them, there are no such donation seats available. The admission process is completely based on merit. It is one of the few private universities that take admission through JEE Mains score. The counseling process is transparent and due to high competition, getting admission at the university can be tough. 

The only way to join SASTRA University without merit-based admission is through the NRI quota. However, the number of seats is limited. You will need to register for it. The fees will be different too.

Which branch is best in Sastra University?

SM
Shivangi Mishra Posted On : November 12th, 2021
SASTRA University, Thanjavur

SASTRA University is best known for its Biotechnology course. It provides the best facilities for Biotechnology in Asia. But only opt for this course if you are genuinely interested in the subject. As the course work requires a good amount of research and it will take some time to get a job with good pay. 

If you want good salary packages after your graduation, then choosing CSE/IT will be best. There are many core companies visiting the campus for these branches. If you want to pursue higher studies abroad, you will have good opportunities too. 

Electrical branches are not that great at SASTRA. It’s best not to opt for these branches. Also, core branches like Civil and Mechanical offer fewer opportunities for core placements.
