Ques

What should I choose between IIIT Sri City and Sastra University?

● Top Answer By Moinak Ghose on 23 Mar 21

Ans

Between Sastra University and IIIT Sri City Sastra University is definitely the better choice. It has an amazing curriculum, placement records, and research facilities. The brand name is a plus point too. IIIT Sri City, being a new institute, has a huge task ahead to level up and compete with other institutions. Their facilities and the faculty are not up to the mark of Sastra University. The branch which you are interested in also plays a major role in selecting what is best for you. If you are inclined towards Biological Sciences, Sastra is perfect for you. Their Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, and Medical Nanotechnology branches are top-notch and they even have higher placement opportunities in CS and mechanical branches. Quick stats 2021: Particulars IIIT Sri City Sastra University Highest CTC offered 22LPA 28.5LPA Average CTC offered 8.26LPA 9.3LPA Top recruiters Amazon, Infosys, Fonsol, L&T.

Ques

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

● Top Answer By Siddhartha Bose on 12 Nov 21

Ans

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.
