Remarks
There is always pros & cons everywhere overall I would say its good nothing specifically i can say except from one thing that there is a sort business some students get into to get easy money by getting into admission business through management quota. I would say AVOID this you are here for study don't get into this.
Entrance Preview
SRM entrance exam - I really don't remember my score.. But its not tough though, Also I had AIEEE score which was then accepted by SRM for admission.
Course Curriculum Overview
Though its 7 years now, tough to recall each and everything. I find course curriculum is fine and aligned with others college as well i mean you wont feel left out on any subject when you discuss about your course with other college students. So its OK and fine. Though i feel it could have been updated now.. because i passed out 7 years back. Rest assured that you are not reading anything outdated.
Internships Opportunities
I have no idea about it as in my tenure (2005-09) i had not come across with internship thing. May be any recent passout would give input on this.
Fee Structure And Facilities
No doubt its expensive for 2005-09 batch - mechanical engineering tuition fee was Rs.100,000. I heard is 2 or 3 lacs now. Hostel fees - Rs.45000 normal, for Ac hostels - Rs. 100,000 (Called International hostel) I assume the cost has been increased.
Fees and Financial Aid
Education loan facility is there as I have availed that. I am not sure about any scholarship facility. I know for Sports quota students there are some facilities for scholarship but cant provide much details on that.
Campus Life
In chennai this is one of the few college where you will get feel that whole india is there or say mini india gender ratio - i guess 60/40. I mean its good no issues extra curriculum activities- There are cultural fests, Rock shows, fashion shows event SRM has good sports team ( Basket ball/Cricket) there are many competitions students are encouraged to participate even some of my friends has started startup on robotics College has provided there support to them.
Hostel Facilities
It was good compared to many. I must say SRM infrastructure and amenities are really good rooms and hostels are clean and spacious (important to mention) wifi facilities food - south Indian & North Indian both + Hygienic apart from mess cafeterias are also available within campus.
Alumni/Alumna
Frankly I did not had much interaction with any alumni so cant give any input, but yes student from my batch are connected and yes its helpful.
Exam Structure
Internal - 3 cycle test , 1 model test - same as final semester exam { for each subject/per semester) sometimes there will be surprise test also. weightage - 30% External - Final semester weightage - 70% In short there will be test throughout the semesters.
Admission
I somehow missed the counselling, later i called college office in kattankulathur and they asked me to come and get things done as seats are available. I reached at college campus showed my counselling call letter/SRM entrance score card and asked for my preferred branch (Mechanical) luckily i got that they told me to go to there other office in nagar chennai and deposit fees and finish the document submission process. I got things done in 2-3 days with all things done.I took the required documents from college which was needed for my education loan.
Faculty
Faculties are good, knowlegeable and supportive It's up to the student how to use them and gain knowledge... Either you look for getting only marks or gain concepts work on projects. I remember i had chosen FEA (3rd yr) as an elective for which a visiting faculty from IIT used to come with so much of knowledge and his way of teaching is really good.
