Infrastructure and training
A sprawling campus housing a built up area of over 1 million square feet (90,000 m²) and a vibrant population of over 5,000 students have made SASTRA a landmark in the educational map of India. Building professional contacts on a personal level, students are well supported by the Department of Training and Placement, which offers them a continuous and progressive training that hones their personal, social, inter-personal and professional skills right from their first year. Professional and specialized training is imparted through group discussions, interviews and competitive examinations. Campus interviews are conducted and students are guided to plan their career. Counseling is provided to students to face interviews and to make informed choices, both academic and professional, from among the various options available to them.

The batches from 2005 till date have had phenomenal placements and the number of organizations keep growing. The 2003-07 batch of engineers have a lot to feel happy as only a minuscule minority are to be placed.
