Review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST).

Placements: The average salary package offered in SRM is 3-4 LPA. The number of companies visited SRM for placement is mostly IT firms and management based companies. The number of core companies for every department is very less due to which students get placed but chances of growth will be very less. Moreover, the chances for students to ever get back to the core companies after passing from college is nil.

There is room for improvement.

Placements: This college lives up to its reputation as an average engineering college. Very few students remain unplaced. A decent pool of companies visits the campus for recruitment. Mass recruiters will hire almost all the students. Computer science students have an edge for a few good companies such as Amazon and De Dhaw etc., which come exclusively for them.

In 2016, there were decent placements and infrastructure was not worth the money paid.

Placements: Placements in college are good enough for students. The college ensures that everyone ends up getting 1 job at least. Most placements are provided in IT sector irrelevant to the bachelor degree. Students are offered placements in the IT sector with low salary package. Whereas it is a good thing for college and company, but students end up suffering.

Review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST).

Placements: Core placements are very rare. Most of the offers were from mass recruiters. However, a sizeable chunk of students were placed in various sectors such as investment and marketing. Lots of companies visit the campus, and the choices are wide, but the competition is tough. Most of the time, it is the luck factor.

The infrastructure of the college is good. But this college is not worth the hype.

Placements: The placement rates have been deteriorating day by day due to the massive batch size and the availability of a few opportunities. The average placement rate is dropping every year, and the lowest salary offered was around Rs. 20,000, which is very poor these days. Even the placement cell is not that active as well.

The review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST).

Placements: Only mass recruiters visit the campus for placements. It is a typical private engineering college. If you have decent grades and cleared all arrears before placement drives, then you're eligible to apply for placement drives. If you impress the recruiters, then you can expect a salary package of 3-4 LPA. A few core companies are visiting the campus for placements, but the placement process is rigorous as well.

Review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST).

Placements: SRM has always been one of the few private colleges that have been successful in providing 100% placements to the students. The highest package offered during placements was up to 10-12 LPA in 2015, and the average being 3-3.5 LPA. The only issue with placements is the return on investment. Placements, as compared to the college fee, are nothing. Companies like Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Capgemini, SAP Labs, Mobicip, Athena Health Care, etc., visited the campus for recruitment during final placeme...

Dissatisfied with faculty, but the infrastructure is good. Facilities and placements are average.

Placements: This year, more than 3000 placement offers were made, and more than 2500 students opted for jobs. About 8-10 students were offered an excellent package of more than 20 LPA by MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, Google etc. More than 100 students got the dream package of 10-20 LPA in major companies like Toshiba, Canon, Asian Paints, etc. Majority of the people took up the mass recruitment jobs offered by Infosys, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which offer a salary package of about 2-4 LPA.

Placements: Placement of the college is decent with numerous companies recruiting students from our college. Companies like Ford Motors, Royal Enfield, Hyundai Motors Pvt. Ltd. etc., have been recruiting from SRM for a long time. The pay scale varies from about 10,000 to 50,000. Roles like Junior Engineers, Supervisors, etc. were awarded to the students. 3-4 years ago, Google came to SRM and recruited a student from Ramapuram campus and he was offered a job in Google with a pay of about 7,00,000 rupees.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the faculty. However, really impressed with opportunities.

Placements: Placements in our college are okay. Not many companies visit the campus for placements of core branches. Companies visit the campus only to hire CSE students. The average salary package offered is around 4 LPA. But the college does not care about the background of the company. They do help to prepare for the technical as well as personal rounds of interviews.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the faculty treatment and food in the college mess and canteen.

Placements: Placements are offered to the students who satisfy the eligibility criteria which changes every year. Both mass recruiting and premium recruiting companies visited the college. About 70% to 80% of the batch was placed. The highest salary package offered was 18 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 2.8 LPA. Almost everyone had an internship opportunity in the college till the final year.

Extremely dissatisfied because of faculty, but good placements in 2017 and decent infrastructure.

Placements: A few students were offered the highest salary package of 10 LPA. But generally, students get an average salary package of 4 LPA. This year, a girl from our department got a salary package of 38 LPA by Microsoft. Many students got placed in Amazon too which is good for a private college.

A review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology.

Placements: Placements for the 2017 batch were about 70%. For the year 2018, placements were around 66% to 70% for ECE branch. You can easily find the records of year to year placements from the college website. The highest salary package offered was around 14 LPA by CISCO. But the average salary package offer remains around 3.50-4 LPA. Predominantly the visiting companies were related to IT service/product. But few core companies were also visiting the campus for placements.

I'm not satisfied with the food and faculty, but the college is amazing for placements.

Placements: SRM is famous for its placement activities. A huge number of companies like Adobe, IBM, Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, ValueLabs and many more visit SRM for recruitments. Comparing our batch with our seniors batch, I would say my batch had better placements than my seniors. Placements are getting better every year. About 74% of the students have already been placed in one or the other company. The highest salary package offered is 38 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. The college ...

Only a few core companies visited our college to recruit the students. Companies that visited our college were not related to mechatronics engineering course.

It is a good university, and it needs some improvement to be a better one.

Placements: Placements are very important for students. I don't know much about it. Our seniors got placed with good packages. However, most of the students do not get placed in their desired companies. Placements decide the future of students. The college should provide better placement opportunities.

Only Advertisements !No real addition to Skills !

Placements: Placements for our batch (2011-15) were not up to my expectations. Most of the batch was placed into the IT companies (Infosys, CTS, and Wipro) only who offered packages between 3 to 3.25 Lacs per annum packages only. To the best of my knowledge, only 70 percent of the batch was placed (That's' because many students having CGPA below 6 were not allowed to sit for the placements). Only, nearly 50 students out of 4000 eligible students got packages of above 6 LPA.

I suggest that don't choose SRM University.

Placements: Placements for our batch were very less compared to previous batches. In our branch, there were162 students, out of which only 30 students got placed. So it is very less, and most of them are still unemployed. Students were salary offered very less salary.
