How are the placements of B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from SASTRA University?

SASTRA University is located in Thanjavur and it is accredited by NAAC. It is ranked 65 in the list of top colleges of India by 'the week'. It offers many courses out of which aerospace engineering is the course in which it offers about 120 seats to students. It is well known for its good infrastructure knowledgeable faculty with experience of teaching and many facilities like Wi-Fi Sports Complex and labs with better equipments and machines. Sastra University is known for its research in chemical engineering but it cannot be compared to IIT or NIT research. There are core companies like Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, Ranbaxy, Manali Petrochemicals, etc. These are some of the core companies that comes for the placement of chemical engineering students in Sastra University and provides package average salary about 9 lakh per annum. But around 10 to 15% students of Chemical Engineering only get placed in core companies and rest of the students get placed in the mass recruiter IT companies like TCS, Accenture,etc. They provide average salary about 3 lakh per annum. Hope it helps.

Sastra University is one of the best research Institute for chemical engineering in India. Although it is not comparable to the IITs, NITs but is on the first position on the list of top chemical private colleges in India. There are core companies like Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, Ranbaxy, Manali Petrochemicals, etc. making rounds during the placement season and offering a package of around 6 Lacs and more on an average. The training and placement cell not only provide jobs during campus placements but also helps and assist students who go for off campus placements. From the first year itself, they start training their students in subjects like communication professional ethics and how to crack placement interviews. The highest package offered in chemical engineering branch was around 9.5 Lacs while average package being 3.5 to 4 Lacs. If you are low on your academic and are unable to get into any of the core companies, you are going to land up in one of the IT companies (mass recruiters). Hope this answer helps.

SASTRA University is a private university though very old and well established. The placements stats are quite nice when it comes to core branches such as CSE, IT and EC. Also, most of the students in India want to get a core stream, still, the people from many parts give priority to their passion and interest and thus choose other branches than the core ones. Being at the prime location of India, where there is a hub of many global and national corporates, it gets the attention and hence many companies visit every year to recruit students. When it comes to placement statics from CSE, it is not more than 5 LPA as the curicullum and the arrangement of the course is still not well implemented according to the needs of the corporates and to achieve a high salary package. Though this a regular trend, one can achieve a good package and the highest placement is around 11 LPA for chemical engineering which is absolutely exceptional. So, you have to work really hard to achieve the placement of that level . Hope it helps. Thankyou.

There's a funny saying - If you get admit into SASTRA, you are a future TCS employee. Every year, atleast 80% of all engineering students get into TCS. And some companies are CGPA biased. Above 8.0 or 8.5 will allow you to sit in some good companies like Ashok Leyland, EBay, etc. So, get above 8.0 and it's almost a guarantee that you’ll get a job. SASTRA has atleast 100+ companies as regular recruiters. There's no way that an average talented guy can go without an offer. Regarding the package also, yes, we have AMAZON, PAYPAL, THOROGOOD, CISCO, MICROSOFT who are paying between 11 LPA TO 24 LPA. All you need to crack amazon or PayPal is pure skill in coding or programming with a minimum CGPA of 7.5. Speaking of average package, we have a pot including ZOHO, GOFRUGAL, MUSIGMA, IBM, INAUTIX, FRESH DESK, TVS, HYUNDAI, HONEYWELL, etc. Who are giving a package between 4LPA to 6 LPA. Most companies in this list don't have stringent eligibility criteria. Over and above, these few major recruiters, SASTRA attracts a lot of startup and small scale enterprises like NOLOGO, NORTON, SUNMAR, SUPER GAS, TAFE, FACE, MURUGAPPA are paying a decent package of 2.5 to 4 LPA. Sastra doesn't release its stats. So, all the information above is based on what its students said on the web.
