Why Sastra Institute of Technology?

Everything starts from zero. But SASTRA started from one, which is Shanmugha College of Engineering, Thanjavur. Started in 1984, Shanmuga College of Engineering offered a limited number of technical courses for students visualizing a successful career in engineering. As days went by, through smart work and engaging efforts, the engineering college became SASTRA University by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in 2001. Now the institute runs a total of eight schools and two centres offering UG, PG and research programmes. Recently, the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) has honoured the meritorious institution with ‘A+’ grade for its performance in the education sector.
