SASTRA

The dreams of its founding fathers took shape in 1984 in the form of Shanmugha College of Engineering, which is now renamed, SHANMUGHA ARTS, SCIENCE, and TECHNOLOGY & RESEARCH ACADEMY (SASTRA) . Our programmes, infrastructure, teaching-learning, etc., are among the country's finest. SASTRA has always been proactive in its academic planning and believes in gaining the first-mover advantage. As a testimony to this, the Government of India has conferred the Deemed University status to SASTRA on April 26, 2001 under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. Recently, with a NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) score of 3.76/4, SASTRA comes under the Category I status, granted by the UGC as per the UGC Graded Autonomy Regulations of 2017. This is the top status of UGC and the category I universities enjoy complete autonomy in various academic activities.

SASTRA empowers its students to accomplish their academic and professional passions, integrating innovative association among education, engineering and research along with real world experience and moral values. The campus has a housing built-up area of over 30,00,000 square feet, nourished with over 10,000 students and 700 teaching faculty, establishing a landmark in the world educational front.
