A good insight into SRM University, a totally unbiased view.

Placements: The placements for our senior batch were very poor. The students participated in huge numbers, but not everyone was selected, here in SRM you are supposed to maintain a minimum of 6.0 CGPA to get placed. But here, there are around 8-10k students ( including NCR, Vadapalani. and Ramapuram campuses). But only around 5k get placed. It is a known fact that out of those, around 4.5k would get placed in IT companies. Top companies like Deshaw, Amazon, etc. do visit the campus but only creme le da crem...

Nice infrastructure. Friendly faculty.

Placements: Placement is like thin air. Only marketing people get placed. Placement coordinator was not consulted about other streams. Even if one candidate gets placed through his source, the coordinator will show that on his record as he has done that good job. They are least concerned about their students. Many teachers have sources outside but they only help those who are nice to them.

An honest college review by an SRMite.

Placements: Placements included several companies coming to our college like CTZ, Wipro, TCS, Siemens, Capgemini etc. But as compared to previous years, this year has seen a remarkable drop in the number of students placed. As the number of students taking admission keeps increasing due to no criteria of selection (not to forget the full on donation taking place) the placement has just got down to the worst case.

Good infrastructure but highly unsatisfied with food and faculty.

Placements: A wide range of companies visit the college, varying from pure technical core companies to non-technical, for various roles and profiles, but major placements are in IT. The pay scale is not very good. It is similar to what an average person gets after completing his engineering graduation. The placements depend upon the students. Some might have 3 job offers in hand and some remain unplaced. And the college, just to maintain its reputation, averages outs those offers. So the tag of 100% placeme...

The best placement, infrastructure, social life, and place to showcase talent, but not good faculty.

Placements: Well, in SRM, the companies start coming from July itself. For our batch, Amazon was the first company that came for the recruitment and took nearly about 14 students in total. Then Cisco was next and so on. By next 4 months, almost everyone got placed. Most of them were placed in mass recruiters. But in SRM even if you are average you can expect yourself to get placed in a good core company. The top companies that visited our college were Amazon, Cisco, Nationstar Mortage, Amadeus Labs, Fedity,...

An honest review of SRM University.

Placements: Placements in SRM are good. If you maintain above 7 CGPA with some good projects, you will definitely get placed in some or the other IT company. But for core, you need to have those extra skills and knowledge. Getting into core company from SRM university is a bit difficult. Highest salary - 25 LPA, average salary 3 LPA and the lowest salary is – 2 LPA (not sure). Most of the IT companies in India visited SRM. Companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. doesn't even bother to come b...

There is a need to impart more practical knowledge to the students to help them cope with the industry standards. Also, there is a need to update the curriculum and introduce new technologies. The focus should be more on learning rather than getting grades and marks. The faculty needs to be updated with skills and take up better teaching methods to make sure that the students understand the concepts.

The college has a good brand name, however, some of the basic facilities offered were subpar. The faculty mostly taught in the local language, the class rooms lacked proper maintenance and we did not have Wi-Fi in class rooms. The teaching methodology was also quite old. Campus life in the college was good and the level of infrastructure in hostels and university as a whole was good. The placements profile offered were mostly for BPO and KPO.

SRM is one of the best colleges. All the activities happening here helps in the all-round development. It gave me confidence and many friends. The faculty is not up to the mark but extra-curricular activities compensate for that. Placements are also average but the number of companies approaching is very good.

The college has a nice lab facility. There are mini projects for every semester. Should have employed qualified teaching staff for robotics. No placements for robotics in SRM. May be some IT companies consider M.Tech robotics for placements. The college is not worth the amount(college tuition fee) paid.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the online course, especially in regards to the poor management.

Placements: Some 40% were said to have been given placements; depending on their expertise, some were given very favorable roles in large companies. The top recruiting companies are Infosys, Wipro, and TCS. The top roles offered were human resources associate, financial analyst, and management intern.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty. Good placements in the recent years.

Placements: Placement percentage is very good but average package is a bit low. Every student with no backlogs get placed but packages depend on student’s capabilities. Especially in computer science, the placements are very good. I refer SRM University for CSE.

It is a below-average college.

Placements: Students with keen interest and dedication surely do get placed. Apart from that, placements are open to everyone and most students will get placed in some company or the other. The college will try to set you up in any work field or with a PG.

Faculty members are not that good. Not at all value for money.

Placements: Rs 44 lacs is the highest package offered here. Many companies, from 200 to 250, come to pick from mass recruiters, and good companies like Google, Microsoft, Infosys, Wipro, Samsung, Acer, and many others usually come for campus placement. Many startups also come to recruit students. Mass recruiters like TCS and all also come for campus placemnet.

Overall, my experience at this college is good.

Placements: Placements in our college are not good. Just sale companies visit our college to recruit automobile and mechanical students. Though the salary package offered by them is quite good and they could be good for starting our career. Internships provided by the college are quite decent, and they provide very good knowledge of the industries.

Full of opportunities, freedom, exposure, infrastructure with a bunch of bad faculty.

Placements: 70% of the students from my course are placed as far as I know. The highest package was around INR 41.2 LPA, Microsoft. But, it was an off-campus placement and not provided by the placement cell. The lowest was around INR 2 LPA I think. So many good companies came down for recruitment like Amazon, PayPal, Deloitte, etc. I think most of the people who got an offer, it was a internship based conversion, so don't get fooled by the number of placed students.

Realities of four year journey at SRMIST in the department of computer Science and engineering.

Placements: Most people get INR 3.5 LPA if you are in the computer. You get better offers. Average is INR 5 Lacs. A mix of companies come, most of them hire SDE, SRE, QA engineer and some hire for sales role like BDA, BOA etc. Top recruiter for CS dept are amazon PayPal, but they hire interns and conversion is dependent on performance .

The college doesn't meet my expectations, as a student, on any parameter.

Placements: On an average, almost all good private universities claim a 100% placement guarantee, even though those placements are not worth anything, SRM's claims are only for an 80% placement, and for the faculty of electrical engineering, the placements are pretty average.
