Q:   How is SRM Chennai in terms of faculty, infrastructure, placement, etc.? Is it worth going to SRM if you want a bright future?

A:
  • College Infrastructure: SRM has a well-defined layout in terms of infrastructure. The campus is spread over a large area, with all the basic facilities provided. There are huge grounds and indoor courts for sports; the gymnasium is made for the students of the college. The library is technically advanced and has a good collection of books. The classrooms are well maintained with smart boards installed, and the washrooms are clean. The canteen has diverse varieties of food that are hygienic and affordable.
  • Academics: CSE has proven to be a good course for me as it aligns with my interests and liking for computers and programming. The course is well updated, and even the curricula followed in college fall in line with the skills required in the job sector. The course has a lot of research and practicality, which definitely makes one job-ready. The teachers are cooperative and experienced, and they mentor each student at every point.
  • Placements: Approximately 70% of the students get hired in the recruitment drive held by the college. The placement drive is held in the most efficient manner. The average package is around 5 LPA, which is a good kickstart for any student in their respective fields. The college has a placement cell that is responsible for inviting firms to the college and guiding fellow students in getting placed, hence making the college supportive. The placements must be inclusive of all the courses, which is a demerit.
  • Value-for-money: The annual tuition fee structure was a bit on the expensive side, as my yearly fee was around 3 lacs p/a, which might not be affordable for many students. But the quality of services and education, with all the basic amenities, make SRM worth the investment. Personally, SRM is making each penny count.
  • Campus Life: Though the college is isolated from the main part of the city, it is glorious from the inside. There are sports activities in the college and many cultural societies, like dance and music societies. Moreover, there are various clubs that keep on participating in educational competitions. Various seminars are held and several festivals are conducted throughout the year, making college life happen. There's a medical room to handle any emergency as and when it arises!

Only join this college if it is your last resort.

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.

If you have the money, you can go for it.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very bad, to be honest. There are no charging points in classrooms for laptops. The only good thing is the library, which has a huge collection of books. The Wi-Fi throughout the campus is pretty good. The campus has a lot of sports facilities and student activities.

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

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.

Great college, but it totally depends on how you want to shape your life for good or bad.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good, but you don’t have enough time to complete all the programs within the lab hours themselves. You have to work on your own laptop to complete it all and learn a bit. Wi-Fi is really good; you can download a 1GB movie within 5 minutes. As for classrooms, they’re average for the FSH building. Hostel facilities are good and totally depend on the amount you pay for a better hostel. The food is average, like in any other college. You will get free consultations ...

Did you want to choose SRM or not.

Infrastructure: The course is best for every field, and the hostel is strict. The kind of food is tasteless, and try to take in-campus hostel with an AX case. There is maximum time when the weather is warm over here, and we can live in cotton clothes. Not even woolen clothes are needed over here.

Overview of SRM Institute of Science and Technology.

Infrastructure: There is a very good hostel for both boys and girls. A lot of facilities are available within hostel premises like a general store cafe, etc. There are the best hostels for boys named Adhiyaman and Nelson Mandela. For girls, there are 2 hostels named Kalpana Chawla and Koppurendevi. The mess food is far better than other colleges.

Placements are good, with really good infrastructure.

Infrastructure: SRM has top-notch infrastructure. It has a good number of computer labs, and the classrooms are well-furnished. The library is one of the best in the state. Lots of people study over there. When it comes to the hostels, they are a bit overpriced in my opinion, and the food is also mediocre. But many flats near the college provide better facilities for the same price as hostels.
