Sri Sairam Engineering College, affiliated with Anna University, admits students through Tamil Nadu's government counseling based on higher secondary marks. Merit-based admissions require no donations, allowing students to choose departments like Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Science, or Information Technology. The college has about 1,000 faculty members, with a typical course having 40 lecturers, many with advanced degrees and significant teaching experience. Course fees are approximately 1.5 lakh per annum, covering tuition and transportation, with additional book fees each semester.
Payments are made via Demand Drafts. The college offers transparent fee breakdowns with no hidden charges. Campus placement drives include top companies like TCS, Wipro, and Amazon, with a placement rate of 70-75%. Students with at least 65% in 12th grade and a 70% CGPA can participate in placements from the 6th-7th semester. CSE/IT students or those skilled in coding often receive the highest packages. Internships are mostly self-sourced. The college provides scholarships based on academic performance, including full tuition coverage for students with a CGPA above 9.5.
Other scholarships include Leo Muthu, First Graduate, BC, and SC Scholarships. Despite its autonomous status leading to higher fees, the college is more affordable than other top Chennai institutions and offers strong job opportunities and training for high-achieving students. However, the fee structure may be challenging for families without steady income.
