SRMIST Admission Process
B.Tech via SRMJEEE
B.Tech admission is through the SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination (SRMJEEE), conducted annually in three phases from April to July. Candidates may also be admitted based on JEE Main scores.
- Eligibility: 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology
- Minimum aggregate: 60% in relevant subjects for General category
- Mode: Remote proctored online exam across three phases
- Selection: SRMJEEE rank, online counselling, branch and campus allotment
SRMJEEE is offered in three phases. Candidates who miss Phase I can appear in Phase II or III. Campus and branch preference at Kattankulatham requires a strong rank. CSE, AI/ML, and Data Science at the Kattankulatham main campus are the most competitive choices and attract the highest fees.
MBA and Management Programmes
MBA applicants need a bachelor’s degree in any discipline. Valid CAT, MAT, CMAT, or XAT scores are accepted. SRMIST also conducts its own SRMJEEM test for management admissions. Shortlisted candidates appear for a group discussion and personal interview at the campus or via video conferencing.
B.Sc Nursing and Allied Health
B.Sc Nursing requires a valid NEET UG score and 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at 45% or above. Allied health science programmes (Medical Lab Technology, Cardiac Care, Imaging Technology etc.) admit through SRMJEEE or merit in relevant 10+2 subjects.
Law, M.Tech, and Other Programmes
The 5-year BALLB accepts CLAT scores or SRMJEEE. M.Tech admission prioritises GATE scorers, with SRMJEEM as the alternative. Ph.D programmes require a Master’s degree and a departmental interview, with CSIR-NET, UGC-NET, or GATE preferred.
