I have been passed out from sathyabama university 2015. Completed B.E from E& C dept. So have better experiance about this university. Though its a very strict college but still, its far better than other private colleges. When I was there that time tution fee was 97K per year only, but its increases highly.
Students cant enjoy much in this college as people used to say, but it depends on students and friends you are along with there.
classes are proper, faculty will always take classes. you cant bunk labs. Free food is the best part of this college. And for Non veg its like heaven. you will get best food here among all colleges in chennai.
placements are also too good. For CS and IT branch, plenty of companies comes but for E& C, E& I, EEE, ECE, not much. but still many students gets placed from here.
