A decent college for your undergraduate

While there is a lot of academic opportunity here, there is no life beyond that. The campus is 25km away from the city and is situated on the highway. Hence, there is a lack of recreational activities here. To watch a movie, you have to travel for a minimum of 45mins to reach the nearest cinema hall. There are numerous food joints in and around the campus, but none with a proper dine-in facility. There are no party places here whatsoever.

In my opinion, the course curriculum is decent. We have a set of cycle tests everything month, for a regular performance check. Our internal marks are based on these tests, besides a few assignments and surprise tests. This accounts for 50% of the grade. The other 50% is awarded via external(or university) examinations.

The recent placements have been pretty decent. Numerous core companies come here for recruitment as well, other than the well renowned IT companies, like Wipro, TCS. The average salary might range somewhere around 4-6LPA.

The 2 major events at our campus are Aaruush and Milan. Both are a 4-5 day fest. Aaruush is a national level Techno fest, while Milan is cultural fest. Besides these, there are numerous small events and fests held round the year.

The fee structure here is just like any other private college. The courses range between 2.5lacs to 3.75 lacs. Also, you could a get an instant 1 lac scholarship based on your stream if your is within a certain number.

College offers a 1lac relaxation on tuition fees based on your rank and stream. Besides this, there are various types of scholarship the college offers based on your entrance exam rank, financial conditions or SGPA.

There are plenty in-house sports options to choose from. As for the labs, the equipments are state-of-the-art technology. The lab assistants are well aware of their domain. One has numerous options for extracurricular activities as SRM houses the most number of student clubs in any university across India. There is a club for every domain and it is also extremely easy to start one by yourself, with some funding from the college.

The hostel facilities are a little overcharged. The rooms are not very great. The mess food is one pain for all the students. With absurd rules and lack of proper internet, people prefer staying outside the campus.

One can reach out to the seniors here anytime they want to. They are extremely helpful and polite. Also, the campus is Anti-Ragging or ragging free and hence life is easy here, unless someone purposely tries to instigate a fight. A word of advice, do not mess with the localites.

Admission process starts with an entrance exam called the SRMEEE, which is held almost a month or two after boards. According to your rank in the exam, the college gives you an option to choose from 3 streams which are asked from you beforehand (i.e. during the enrollment for the exam).

Faculty at SRM could be anything between amazing to rude. While some professors genuinely care for each student, some are extremely rude at your face. Also, being a north Indian, one could face a little discrimination here.
