SRET Chennai Admission Process
SRET Chennai fills B.Tech seats through two routes: the SRIHER direct application portal and TNEA counselling. Unlike standard Anna University-affiliated colleges, SRET as a Deemed University does not follow the 65-35 seat split. SRIHER conducts its own admissions for most seats.
B.Tech Admission
B.Tech at SRET is offered exclusively in AI and technology specialisations.
- Eligibility: 10+2 with Mathematics and Physics as compulsory subjects, plus Chemistry, Computer Science, or Biology. Minimum 60% aggregate for General candidates. This threshold is higher than the standard TNEA norm of 45%.
- Accepted entrance scores: JEE Main rank, TNEA rank, or SRIHER’s own aptitude assessment.
- SRIHER direct route: Apply online at admissions.sriramachandra.edu.in, pay INR 1,000 application fee, and attend SRIHER’s selection process based on Class 12 merit and entrance score.
- TNEA route: Candidates appearing in TNEA 2026 can choose SRIHER B.Tech during choice filling. Seat allotment is based on TNEA rank and the 60% minimum eligibility condition.
Mandatory internships at industry partners and a Professional Competency Development programme are built into the B.Tech curriculum from year one, targeting early employability for SRET graduates.
B.Sc and M.Sc Admission
B.Sc and M.Sc programmes at SRET are admitted directly through SRIHER’s application portal. No separate entrance exam is required. B.Sc eligibility requires 10+2 with relevant science subjects. M.Sc eligibility requires a relevant bachelor degree. Candidates apply online, and selection is based on academic merit and SRIHER’s internal evaluation.
SRET Chennai Placements

SRET Chennai vs Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology vs Vel Tech
Aspirants considering SRET Chennai for B.Tech at a Deemed University in Chennai often compare it with Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology and Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology, both Deemed Universities in Chennai with similar fee structures and direct admission models outside the standard Anna University TNEA framework.
| Parameter | SRET Chennai (SRIHER) | Sathyabama Institute | Vel Tech University |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Constituent college of SRIHER (Deemed University) | Deemed University | Deemed University |
| NAAC Grade | A++ (SRIHER) | A | A+ |
| NIRF Rank (University) | 60 (SRIHER, 2025) | Contact NIRF for rank | Contact NIRF for rank |
| B.Tech Total Fees (4 years) | INR 10,40,000 | Contact college for fees | Contact college for fees |
| Specialisation Focus | AI, Data Science, Cyber Security, IoT, Medical Engineering | Engineering, AI, Aerospace, Biotechnology | Engineering, AI, Electronics, Mechanical |
| Admission Mode | SRIHER direct + TNEA (60% min) | Direct + TNEA | Direct + TNEA |
| Co-located Medical Facility | Yes (SRIHER Hospital) | Yes (Sathyabama Hospital) | No |
SRET’s strongest differentiator is the SRIHER NAAC A++ accreditation, the highest possible grade, and the Computer Science and Medical Engineering specialisation that exploits the co-located medical campus. Sathyabama has a longer track record and a broader engineering programme portfolio. Vel Tech benefits from an extensive research culture and a strong alumni base. All three serve the same Deemed University B.Tech applicant pool in Chennai.
