All the programs in Electronics and Instrumentation are accredited by NAAC and NBA. The avant-garde laboratories are DST-FIST, DST-PURSE, or TEQIP funded. The department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering was recognized by AICTE as MINOR-QIP for offering Ph.D./PG programs. SASTRA has eight colleges, two centers, and a distance education directorate providing science, engineering, medicine, law, and management undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs.
Admission process at MIT Chennai & SASTRA University

Both the departments are the finest in India, with bulk placement and top-notch education standards. While choosing between the two, it becomes essential that students follow their choice of interest and thereby discriminate both.
I have some idea about MIT since a few of my friends are students at the institute.
Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is a constituent college of Anna University just like College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG), and Alagappa College of Technology (ACT). So you need to follow the official website of Anna University for regular updates. The university accepts GATE as well as TANCET scores for M.Tech and ME programs at these colleges.
The website of the university is notoriously slow and not very user-friendly. So do visit it regularly for updates.
Yes, you can apply to the Madras Institute of Technology even if you are a Keralite. You just have to go to Anna University’s website and register for it.
The application form with relevant information will be available on the website. Fill the application form duly and take out a printout of the same. Attach a photograph and your signature at the appropriate spaces provided.
You have to get it attested by a competent authority and send it along with the application form with the registration fee. The application fee for B.E./ B. Tech and B.Arch students is INR 500. It should be sent in the form of a Demand Draft to the Anna University payable at Chennai.
No, Madras University of Technology doesn’t offer a B.Sc Computer Science course. The Department of Computer Science at MIT offers a 4-year long B.E in CSE. You need to have completed 10+2 with at least 45% aggregate marks in PCM from a recognized board to apply for the course. The total course fee is INR 2 Lakh.
