What Students Say
Likes
- The grading system is quite friendly and enables you to score well.
- Since SRM is a university with multiple colleges, you can interact with people from law, medicine and business. It's an interesting experience.
- The entire campus is chiller than you expect. Teachers, advisors, wardens and everyone is chiller than what I had heard.
Dislikes
- Quite a lot of emphasis is placed on a few old concepts like attendance.
Course Curriculum Overview
The mathematics faculty in particular is amazing, the courses are very comprehensive but not extremely relevant until you start your major-specific courses. They also tend to get a bit too theoretical.
Placement Experience
The highest package is almost always in the 50+ LPA range, and SRM offers plenty placement opportunities at your skill-level, grade and caliber. It mirrors the IT economy and has its highs and lows. Core placements, however, aren't great from what I've heard. Anyone from CSE and other adjacent branches need not worry though.
Fees and Financial Aid
I don't think they hike after you've joined, but it is quite expensive. I wouldn't recommend loans, but if you can afford SRM, it's a decent choice. Expenses also vary for different courses, but I've seen that doesn't necessarily indicate the usefulness of those courses.
Campus Life
Campus is HUGE, you'll find a club for almost any of your interests. Clubs are a little political but it largely shouldn't be a problem. There's an event practically every week, technical or cultural. You'll feel right at home if you were in a school which was focused on extracurriculars. SRM also received students from all over India, so you'll find people from your region in abundance.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel and mess have become more expensive since their recent spikes, but they still remain the best option keeping convenience in mind. The mess is far better than the stories I've heard from other colleges, and the only problem is the monotony of the menu (which cycles every week). The variety is good, and there's always something for everyone. Picky eaters might struggle though. As for the room, they're cleaned on an almost daily basis, and the rooms are pretty decent, although very small. I would heavily recommend getting an AC room, as it gets very hot in the even semesters.
Admission
The exam is conducted in 3 phases, which is great because it provides more opportunities between other exams. The exam is very easy and fully online (as of now). The only problem I faced was that I could select only 1 choice after the results were out.
