Placements: Almost 90% of students from our batch got placed through campus placements. The highest salary package offered is 52 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. The average salary package offered is 7.5 LPA. Thereby, it is a very good placement record.

Infrastructure: Facilities are state-of-the-art, including modern labs and smart classrooms. Hostel facilities are comfortable, with varied food options and good security. Facilities and infrastructure for the course and department have Wi-Fi. All classrooms, labs, a library, and common areas on campus are Wi-Fi enabled with high-speed internet. There are high-end laboratories with the latest machines for practical knowledge in any field, such as computer science, electronics, mechanical, and biotechnology, among others. Different departments of engineering have their respective specialized labs, including robotics, AI, and nanotechnology labs with hands-on experience.

Faculty: While the curriculum is industry-relevant, improvements can be made in industry exposure and flexible electives. The faculty is relatively very cooperative and friendly; they readily assist with more one-on-one attention than that afforded in their class sessions. Teachers are highly qualified with a significant number possessing higher education and possessing considerable knowledge in industry. Their Knowledge extends both academically and practically. Excellent quality teaching and interactive learning to apply what is learned with real-life examples and, of course, to get deeply involved with the subject being learned. The curriculum is highly updated regularly. It is aligned with current industry trends, as well as technological advancements. The pass percentage is usually very good.

Other: I chose B.Tech at SRM IST for its comprehensive curriculum, experienced faculty, and strong placement record. The campus life is vibrant with numerous cultural and technical fests like Milan and Aaruush. My time at SRM has been enriching, balancing academics with extracurricular activities and providing a supportive learning environment. The diverse student community and strong alumni network add to the overall experience.

Only join this college if it is your last resort.

Placements: You do have companies visiting the campus for placements but they barely hire 2-3 students from a pool of over 4000 applicants. We had companies like PayPal, Dell, Barclays, jp Morgan, Philips and Siemens that came to recruit interns but they barely hired 5 interns out of which 50% were girls. It’s almost impossible to get past the initial resume screening, most people are rejected even before they write a test. So unless your resume is truly exceptional, getting an internship is close to impossible.

Infrastructure: The only decent thing about SRM is only the main campus (not sure about the other campuses). Classes in the University building are air conditioned but it is the only building with air conditioning as of now. The library is really good. with plenty of places to sit along with a vast variety of books. Only issue is that you might not always find a place to sit that has a plug point, in case you want to use your laptop. The Wi-Fi is available within the university and in the tech park buildings. The WiFi is fairly fast and gets the job done but a lot of sites are blocked. Apart from the Wi-Fi, you also have a Jionet@srm hotspot at multiple places across the campus that grants you 1.5GB of data per day. This is available to anyone who walks into the campus. You need an SRM net id and password that is required to sign into the Wi-Fi. The computer labs and mechanical labs are pretty good as well. The labs in the UB building have an intel i7's and 32gb of RAM. Tech park has an iMac lab that is accessible only to some people pursuing an iOS related course. Facilities for non-computer Science related fields are also pretty good. I have seen CNC machines and a lot of other heavy equipments being used in the mechanical section. We have a fabulous lab that offers 3D printing and other services for a small payment. I haven't personally used this but I have heard its fairly reliable.

Faculty: This is the worse part about being in SRM. There are very few faculty members that actually know what they are talking about. They walk into class with PowerPoints and just start talking. If that was the only issue, it wouldn't be a big deal because you can pretty much keep your head down and scroll through your phones to pass time, but no. These people are out there to make your life as miserable as possible. They'll do everything in their power to make you beg for things like marks and attendance to inflate their very fragile egos. Most faculty members in this college have no notable achievements. There is a reason why they're working in SRM and not IITs. Most of the professors graduated from SRM, got their Ph.D. from SRM and continued teaching in SRM. This leads to a sense of worthlessness within them that they like to compensate by making the lives of students miserable. Doing this gives their otherwise mediocre and pointless life some sort of purpose.

Other: I chose Computer Science because that's what everyone said I could make the most money in. As for college, I applied to a bunch of colleges and SRM was the only one I got in. It was my last resort. Still one of my the biggest regret.

The worst college for subjects and placements. I don't recommend you to join this college.

Placements: A very few students were placed in my course due to lack of knowledge regarding the subjects, this is all because of the faculty. We have raised complaints against them but the management doesn't care about it. If any one is interested to join this college only for placements, it’s better to choose another course in this college because this course is not the correct one to choose for getting placed. Some companies used to come here to hire us but that was a waste of time as they conducted interviews just for formality, and some rounds later, they just hire a few students. The highest and the lowest packages shown in the advertisements were not from my course.

Infrastructure: The facilities are average but the fee we are paying is higher. Facilities like Wi-Fi is available but it won't work properly, labs have systems but AC doesn't work properly. There is always some maintenance work going on. Library is often cool compared to the remaining infrastructure. Classrooms are not well maintained. Hostel is good but the security was very strict, at times they conduct checking in the rooms disturbing the privacy.

Faculty: The worst thing I have faced here is regarding the faculty as they lack knowledge and are only useful for school students. They need to up skill their subject knowledge for teaching us. If anyone is expecting a good faculty here, I highly recommend you to choose another college. Exams are difficult to pass in the initial stage, later on, the college will pass you by taking money. Only 40 to 60 percent students will clear all the subjects in a single sitting.

Other: It’s a boring college having no entertainment or fun activity. There are no culture activities either. It is a waste of money and time to join this college. From the first year till now, I just learned only ‘hello world programme’, that's it.
