Hey,

Firstly, this question totally depends on one thing that is your interest. You are not comparing colleges for same branches instead its between 2 separate branches. I will suggest you to go for the branch you like rather than comparing the 2 institutes. No matter how good is the college, if you dont like the branch you cannot put your 100% efforts. This will eventually lead you to no where.

But still you have asked so i will answer.

As per the NIRF ranking,

• Shanmugha Arts Science Technology & Research Academy is ranked 37
• Anna University is ranked 14 all over India.

The parameters taken for ranking are of high importance such as research, infrastructure, placements, teaching and many more. Keeping in mind the reliability of the source, Anna University can be prefered.

But eventually what matters more is your choice. If its ECE that makes you to study more than go for ECE, otherwise Mining Engineering.

Dear Aspirant,

ECE is the second most preferred branch . ECE deals with electronics and communication studies where as, Mining is the branch that deals with extraction and processing of metals and ores. It totally depends you which course excites you the most and you are interested in . Take up that course.

Anna University:-

Placements: On average, nearly 60% of the students got placed in the course. In the course, the highest salary package offered is 8 LPA, the average salary package offered is 5 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. None of the students got internships. While joining, they would be working as a graduate engineer trainee, and after 1 year, they would be appointed as assistant manager in mines.The students got placed in top companies like Vedanta, Triveni, Gymco and Tamil Nadu Cements. The role offered by the company is a graduate engineer trainee. There is also scope for IT sectors. Here no one will force you to study, and it is your wish to study.

Infrastructure: The college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, RCC and library. Classrooms are good and equipped with a camera and air-conditioning facility. The food served in the canteen is highly hygienic, and the food served in a mess is not so good. Medical facilities are also good with ambulance services. Sports facilities are also encouraged and facilitated.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The strength of faculty members in the department is less than required. The course curriculum is relevant, but it only makes students industry-ready for 50%. Some faculty members are great teachers.

SASTRA:-

Placements: Every year, almost 80% of students get placed. The highest package offered is around 35 LPA, and the lowest package offered is around 2 LPA (this varies every year). Most of the students get placed in Wipro and TCS. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon etc. Students got internships in Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, Wipro etc.

Infrastructure: All the hostels are enabled with Wi-Fi. There are also options to opt for the hostel type you like, and the price will vary accordingly. The food in the hostel is average. The college has charming infrastructure. It has good labs, a well designed central library and research centres, where you can transform your ideas into real-life projects. The campus has goods canteens and medical shops. We have gyms, an indoor stadium, football ground, and a basketball ground, and you can showcase your talent.

Faculty: All the teachers are qualified from well-known institutions. Most of the teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. Except few, all the teachers have good teaching skills. Except for a few topics, the course curriculum is relevant. You can get industry-ready if you are keen enough to gather more knowledge. Except few, all the semester papers are moderate, and you have to get 50% in total (internal and end-semester) to pass the subjects.
