A sprawling campus housing in a built-up area of over 1.6 million square feet with a vibrant population of about 15,000 students, 700 teaching faculty and state-of-the art laboratories have made SASTRA a landmark in the educational map of India. Right from its inception, SASTRA has attained national standing in terms of academic performance, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and also in the development and commitment to social service. SASTRA offers various undergraduate, post graduate and Doctoral Programmes in Engineering, Arts, Science, Law and Management. The excellence of the academic programmes offered by the University is replicated in the ratings awarded by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) which has reaccredited SASTRA with a new score of 3.54. SASTRA established Srinivasa Ramanujan Centre in 2002 as a fitting tribute to the great mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan who spent most of his formative years in the temple town of Kumbakonam. The centre is housed in a six storeyed structure. This centre also houses a museum called “House of Ramanujan”, on the life and works of Srinivasa Ramanujan. SASTRA purchased and renovated the house where Srinivasa Ramanujan lived and spent his childhood days. The house and the museum have been dedicated to the nation by His Excellency, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the then President of India.
