SASTRA University is better than some NITs (some NITs does not include NIT Trichy). SASTRA University has better placements and salary packages as they have many tie ups with MNCs. They also offer Industrial exposure and Internships.
The infrastructure is also good at SASTRA University.
If you are aspiring to be a good engineer with a placement in top companies and also with a good salary then SASTRA University is a good choice.
Top 5 NITs are better than SASTRA. If you don't get a good course in those top 5 NITs then SASTRA University will be the better choice.

Hi buddy, I wouldn't say better. Infrastructure, technical support, facilities, extra curricular activities, all these aspects are similar. NITs are well established, funding support for research projects are better compared to SASTRA. I would rank them equal if not NITs bit comparatively better than SASTRA. As everyone says it's in your hands and your personal ability to make use of the best facilities and infrastructure available.
Hope this helps!

The curriculum may or may not be helpful to your career. In reality, there is only 20% of the total strength of the department who are able to be placed in companies where they get chance to work in their respective education. Coming to teaching, there are very good professors who are ready to learn new things with you and share their industrial experience. Indeed those lessons will be helpful only to a minimal extent for placements. The curriculum will be helpful up to 70% for National Level exams like GATE. If you are interested in researching, you have great opportunities at SASTRA.

It's totally depends upon the counselling and even on your category you can check last year counselling and allotment of seats the students near by your rank where they stands.
