What Students Say

Likes

The clubs, the people, the fests and the curriculum which is a bit easier than most old IITs
The professors are well educated and helpful if you pay attention

Dislikes

The college managements is full of people who are way to old and are completely out of touch with the modern reality.
Some of the infrastructure particularly the classrooms and hostels is way too old but things are slowly improving

Course Curriculum Overview

The courses are not that tough if you give some effort and all of the professors are well qualified. Some professors speak English in regional accents which can be off-putting sometimes. There are ample amounts of labs with reasonable infrastructure to make them relevant in the commercial world. I like studying Fluid mechanics and heat transfer which motivated me take Mechanical Engg. Although it's not all rosy and there are many scopes for improvement as the some professors have no desire to teach and just write the theory on the board for us to copy with minimal engagement with the class. The exams are of a decent level and mugging up won't take you anywhere.

Class Size: 200Course Fees: INR 240000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees for general candidates is bit more than 1.2 lacs per semester and scholarships are harder to secure for students having an income of more than 5 lpa. Fees for reserved categories are much more manageable. For scholarships, the college sends out an email with all the eligible scholarships and you can securebit if you meet the criteria.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus life is good with 3 grounds to play sports and a Student Activity Centre with facilities to play Badminton, Table Tennis, Boxing, Chess, Squash, Taekwondo among others. It also houses a gym. Theres 3 major fests Kashiyatra- the Cultural fest, Technex- The technological fest and Spardha, the sports fest. Theree are other minor fests like Cult Weekend, Film and Media Council Weekend,etc. Varanasi being a tourist city also boasts many beautiful locations to visit and chill. There are too many clubs to list and you can find people with similar interests no matter how niche they are.

Admission

The admission process is through JEE (Advance) and the fees for general candidates are just over 1.2 lacs per semester including the hostel and mess fees. The exam is held once a year in two shifts so good luck. You can get the admission documents from the hostel itself and submit them to the Electrical department where all departments collect the required forms.

What I See at SRM Ghaziabad

Likes

I really appreciated the college clubs and hackathons.
There are variety of events throughout the semester, something to always keep you on your feet.
Some of the faculties are really really experienced and have a unique approach that captures the attention of all the students.

Dislikes

Not many hotspots around campus to hang out after classes.
The infrastructure of the hostel can be improved a lot.
Food in mess is not great, the menu is not very diverse. Everything has aloo.

Placement Experience:

Placements are actually impressive with our college having the highest placement rate among others in the region. We usually achieve ~90% placement. We get opportunities from many large groups, such as Infosys, TCS, JPMC, BNY, Logitech, etc etc The list goes on. The highest package that I saw was of around 1Cr from a company I don't remember their name, but it was based out of SF and was a really great one. Average placement we see is around 12-20LPA packages.

I liked the faculties of my college they are very supportive and helpful towards the students.
I like the curriculum which more learning based then theory
I like the support that is provided by the college towards the placements of the students

Dislikes

I don't like the attendence system of our college it very hectic to students
There is lot of focus on exam in my college which I don't like
Syllabus are not updated in our college we are studying very old things

Course Curriculum Overview:

I opted for this course because I want to be a software engineer. I chose my course because it was well-informed, and my interest was also in this field from the start. The faculty members and platform were also quite good for nurturing personal skills and making one a skilled and disciplined person in life. I wish this course would focus more on practical things rather than being theoretical. Events, fests, and the campus environment are also very good and pleasing to the eye. Connectivity was also easy from all around the world due to its location. Scholarships were also awarded to almost every student.

In terms of placement IIT bhu rank is now 2 after IIT kanpur that's one of the reason to choose it.
