Remarks

This college has a pool of great people, hence you will find a very good network of students working on amazing projects and technologies, but the faculties and management make it harder for any students to innovate. This college doesn't even have its own entrepreneurship cell, so that is how dedicated they are regarding supporting new ideas. Very poor infrastructure for co-curricular and extra-curricular has made it worst to find exposure. No sports related infrastructure shows how much this college cares about it's students.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course I had is relatively outdated, but the new batch of the 1st year has the updated curriculum, which includes the futuristic technologies, new frameworks, and languages. Also, the new competitive coding website is in place to provide students the experience of competitive coding as well.

Placement Experience

Placements are pretty good if someone is looking to work at Mass recruiter, but the quality jobs and opportunities are not provided eg:- companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google have come to this campus for placement but they only hire Tester or someone from MBA. Hence a career wise it doesn't make any sense.

College Events

3.5

Every college conduct 5 National level fests for its 3 departments and 1 for a club named "White Hat Hackers Club (WHHC)". I am a member of WHHC and only the event organized by WHHC had the quality workshops, seminars, and coding competitions.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure varies from 1.5 Lakh per annum to 3 Lakh per annum. It is not feasible not normal middle class people, but using education loans it is possible to survive here. If you are from a merit system then you get the lowest fee to pay.

Fees and Financial Aid

Since my college comes under the SRM's main campuses authority, it has various scholarship programs like Single parent scholarship which, merit based scholarship, Loan based fee structure for payment through loans, etc

Campus Life

This college has 4 labs for the CSE department and all are meant for doing competitive coding. Apart from that, there are no labs, sports, extracurricular or co curricular activities supporting infrastructure in this college.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network was is working and conducting the meetups every year starting from 2018. This network has various benefits and a great place to connect people from other branches or SRM as well. Vadapalani branch has there separate meetups and alumni network.

Faculty

The faculties of this college are not up to the mark and are openly partial to North Indian students, apart from that there are only very few faculties having the knowledge regarding their subject and very rear ones know how to teach. Hence self learning is the only method a student can survive in this college.

A Good Learning Experience with Opportunities for Growth

Likes

Good campus infrastructure with decent classrooms and facilities.
Friendly faculty members and supportive classmates.
Good opportunities to participate in events, activities and improve technical skills.

Dislikes

Placement training and career guidance could be improved.

Placement Experience:

The college provides placement opportunities through its placement cell, with students generally preparing for recruitment during their pre-final and final years. Various companies offer opportunities in IT, software development, business and other fields. The placement support helps students improve their communication, technical and interview skills. However, more reputed companies and higher-paying opportunities could improve the placement experience. My goal after completing the degree is to secure a good job, gain industry experience and continue developing my technical skills.

Likes

The college provides numerous opportunities to participate in hackathons, technical events, project competition, and cultural activities. This gives students a chance to explore their interest.
Faculty members are approachable and students can interact with them comfortably regarding academics, projects, and other college - related activities. Good staff interaction makes it easier to clarify doubt and seek guidance.
The availability of both technical and cultural events gives students to take break, socialize, discover new interest. Students can improve their problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and presentation skills by participating in competitions.

Easwari offers placement training and oppotunities with recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Accenture and Goldmann Sachs. Reported 2026 statistics include 50LPA highest package and 98.25% placement rate. I aim to become Software developer and will build my skills through projects and internships.
