The food is healthy and tasty. Both North and South Indian food items were served. There were restaurants.

    The best decision of my life was to choose SRM because of the college life it provides.
    Placements: For our course, placements are good, but they could be better and lag behind placements for B.Tech courses. The highest salary package offered is 15 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. Almost all students who appear for placements are placed, except those who have a backlog or are detained. Many companies come for placements. Almost all students are placed.
    Infrastructure: Our classrooms have all the necessary facilities. We have Wi-Fi, projectors, tables, chairs, smartboards, and other amenities, but there is no air conditioning system available. Our labs and library are very good. All facilities are available. There are huge hostels with approximately 15 floors that are luxurious. I reside in a PG nearby, but I have heard that hostels are very expensive, costing Rs.250000 per year for a room with an air-conditioning system. Rest facilities are excellent for medical purposes. One can visit one of the top hospitals in the region.
    Faculty: The course curriculum is old and needs to be updated. They should remove the unnecessary subjects that are taught every semester. Teachers are well-qualified in their respective domains. They have good knowledge, but there are still a few exceptions. Semester exams are easy to pass in 2-3 days of study, but you should be careful about your internals because they play a vital role in results.
    Other: I chose this course because it was the only option left for me, but I have no regrets about my decision. There are many national-level fests like Aarush, Milan Josh, etc., that are conducted from time to time. One can participate in them and learn a lot from other members. SRM has a huge crowd. There will be always a long line for everything but everything is good.

    The infrastructure is good, but faculty members are not that good.
    Placements: About 70% of students were placed. The highest salary package offered is 16 LPA. Core companies come very late for placements. Top recruiters are JK Cement, Hyundai, Mercedes, etc. Internships were offered at Ashok Leyland, Nexteer, High Radius, etc. Roles offered were mainly maintenance engineers.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available. The library is huge. Classrooms in the first year are air-conditioned. The infrastructure is good. The mess food and hostel rules are not good. Instead, you can rent a flat outside the college premises.
    Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but they are not helpful at all. If you are coming from North India, there will be a language barrier for you in the college as some of the people don't speak English here. The course is relevant.

SRM hostel is good compared to other colleges. They have 14 different hostels, including NRI hostels. The food is good and they serve both veg and non-veg. Students can avail free medical checkups with their ID cards at SRM hospital. They have a lot of clubs for sports activities as well.
    Faculty: Staffs in SRM are highly knowledgeable and helpful to the students. They are easily accessible at any time for your doubts. They are very friendly and their teaching is excellent in their own way. The curriculum is where we need to give attention, and SRM has a good curriculum for today's needs in the industry. Passing exams is easy, and the minimum passing percentage is 40%.
    Other: Candidates who are looking to enter into the software field can go for BCA blindly and the staff here will help the most to get you placed in a company. SRM offers scholarships for high-ranking students and funding for foreign education.

    Placements: More than 98% of students are placed in our course, which is BCA. The package for our course that was offered by our institution was from 5 LPA to 8 LPA, and you can get more according to your skills. The top roles that are offered in our courses are testing executive, software developer, software engineer, and so on.
    Infrastructure: The best thing about our institution is the free Wi-Fi. Every student who studies there gets access to free unlimited Wi-Fi, which is provided with their id and password. As many people know, our institution is best for food. Food vloggers would visit and review our canteen and foods because they are so good.

There is so much freedom in our institute that you can ask questions to your faculty members whenever you want to ask them. Our course also makes the students industry-ready.

    Other: I chose this course because I want to be a software developer. Hence, I took this course. It would be better if they added some more practical lab hours.
