On Highlights

Q:   Can I join SRM IST without the entrance?

A: 

Yes, SRM University offers direct admission to certain programs for eligible candidates who meet the required eligibility criteria. The admission criteria for these programs may include past academic performance, work experience, and other relevant factors. However, for most of the programs offered by SRM University, admission is through the SRMJEEE (SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination) or other national level entrance exams.

Therefore, it is recommended that you check the specific admission requirements for the programme you are interested in on the university's website or by contacting the admissions office. In case you do not qualify for direct admission or wish to appear for the entrance exam, you can apply for SRMJEEE and appear for the exam. The exam is conducted annually and is the basis for admission to several programs offered by the university.

Q:   Which campus of SRM is the best to pursue BTech?

A: 

The best campus of SRM University to pursue BTech is the Kattankulathur campus. It is the largest campus of SRM University and has the best infrastructure, faculty, and placements. The campus is spread over 2,500 acres and has all the facilities that a student needs, including hostels, classrooms, laboratories, sports facilities, and a library. The faculty at the campus is highly qualified and experienced. The campus also has good placements. During the SRMIST placements 2023, the highest package and average package offered stood at INR 57 LPA and INR 7.58 LPA, respectively.

Q:   Is SRM University good for B.Tech?

A: 

Here are some positive and negative points of SRM University: 

Positive:

  1. Located in Chennai which is a metropolitan city. Three out of five campuses are located in Chennai
  2. You can have a lot of fun
  3. In KTR, there are a lot of opportunities provided to students to develop their profile like hundreds of clubs, teams like robocon, conrods, camber, and 4ze where students can build their own bots, cars and stuff. If you are really interested in your field then you can do anything in SRM
  4. Canteen facilities are excellent
  5. As far as placements are concerned, most students are placed in IT sector. Core companies also visit the campus but they select only one or two students. In a batch of 500600 students i.e. 1520 students are placed in core companies. But still that depends on your skills and we can’t blame the university for that.

Negative:

  1. The student to faculty ratio is too high.
  2. Faculty members are not very highly skilled, though they are postgraduates in their respective field. Most of them have completed M.Tech from other local colleges. There are very few from IITs and foreign universities.
  3. The curriculum is old. 
  4. The evaluation system is also not very good.
  5. Very little research happens here. Most of the faculty members don’t have any publications
  6. Also, if you have a lot of money you can join in management quota into any branch you want. Almost half of the students have joined in management quota.

All the best.

Q:   Which of these is better for BTech CSE: Thapar University or SRM University, Kattankulathur?

A: 

Both the colleges are equally good, but I will vote for Thapar University, Patiala because of the standard which the University has maintained since its establishment. I will try to distinguish between both colleges with the help of certain parameters:

  • ADMISSION PROCESS: Thapar University admits its students on the basis of JEE main marks. Usually cutoff goes higher for Computer engineering (around 180). While SRM University conducts its own examination called SRMJEE.
  • CAMPUS: SRM University has a very good and beautiful campus. Student intake is higher at SRM University. 
  • Thaper don't have any management quota seat whereas SRM had few seats reserved for the management quota. The fee is almost similar in both colleges. And location-wise Chennai has the upper hand over Patiala.

SRM Institute of Science and Technology.
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.

Good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: The placements are average in my batch. Most of the people are getting around 6-8 LPA, and some lucky ones are getting up to 25 LPA (Operations Manager in Amazon), so yes, overall the placements are on the good side. Top companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Accenture, TCS, etc. are coming to the campus.
Infrastructure: So SRM has top-of-the-line infrastructure and labs (for example, labs like the "MAC LAB" - it's a lab for high-end computing, classes have ACs), and as for hostels, they are pretty good. There have been no issues till now. There is water 24*7, high-speed Wi-Fi, cleaning every day, laundry service, etc. Mess food is also okay; some days it's good, some days it's not.
Faculty: The teachers are mostly passed out from top IITs or NITs, and some have even done courses from abroad institutions, and they are well-experienced. As for the curriculum, it needs to be revised a little more. As of now, the curriculum is updated but not enough to meet industry standards.
Other: I chose this course. SRM is one of the few top colleges that are providing this course, and as for campus life, there are fests and events going on year-round. There are lots of clubs one can join. Two major fests happen every year: one is MILAN, the cultural fest, and the other is AARUSH, the tech fest.

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.

Absolutely satisfied. Good placement in 2024, really good infrastructure, and facilities.
Placements: This college provides good placements. The average package is 700,000 (7 lakhs) and above. 1000 companies are approaching each year, and it is increasing every year. Many companies are approaching SRM, and it is increasing. It provides a minimum seven lakh package.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very good, and the classrooms and labs are all very good. It's a good college preference. I will give the buildings and infrastructure a high rating. The sports activities are also very good, and the buildings are very nice.
Faculty: The faculty teaches very well, and the teachers are very nice. Internal carries 60 marks, and each subject carries 100 marks. You will be awarded very good marks for each subject, so prepare well and be honest in the exam hall.

SRM thoroughly reviewed by a second-year student.
Placements: The placements for my branch are bad. The median package is between 5 to 7 Lacs per annum. The highest it has ever gone is somewhere in the 20 Lacs per annum range; that too could be an off-campus placement. Pharma, virology, and medical fields have requirements for biotechnology individuals.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for my branch is pretty good and world-class. It is one of the best reasons for doing Biotechnology from SRM. The laboratories and equipment are all up to the mark and modern, which is essential to give us hands-on experience, which is vital in our field. The hostels, on the other hand, are average at best. The first-year hostels are clustered to fit in as many students as possible, but at least there are rooms available, which reduce drastically for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. The common washrooms are comparable to railway washrooms, but the attached washrooms are still satisfactory.
Faculty: The teaching is a hit or a miss. The teachers are either good at explaining the concepts, or they just aren't able to impart the knowledge they possess. The faculty members, though, are highly qualified individuals who are doing their own research as well. The course curriculum follows the new NEP; it's as good as it could be, but there's always a huge room for improvement. The assessments are hectic, as we have CTs almost every month, along with assignments and projects adding up to a total of 60 marks for internals. The rest 40 marks are from the end-semesters of 75 marks, which is converted to 40, making the total 100 marks (60+40).
Other: The high-end infrastructure and equipment available for my course at SRM were the leading factors for me to join the course. The fests are good, especially the techno fest Aarush, but the Milan fest is more crowded due to locals also coming to the fest.

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.
