True Review

My experience at SRM IST,Chennai I am enrolled in SRM University and my annual fees is 300000.Considering the infrastructure,faculty ,labs and placement support,SRM has offered God value for what I am paying. The campus is modern,labs and workshop are well-equipped. Professors are approachable and the curriculum is relevant with good tie-ups/industry exposure. Even though the fees are relatively high,I was able to get scholarship(via SRM JEEE /merit) which significantly reduced the financial burder.withiut that it would have been difficult. Other fees(registration, development,lab,etc.) and hostel/message add up. So 300000/year is not the only expanse. The scholarship/waiver you get may require you to maintain a high CGPA in following years. If performance falls,waiver might be reduced or lost. Fee increments are happening; newer batches pay more.So if you join later, expect somewhat higher fees Over Verdict: For what I pay ,SRM IST gives a good academic, faculties and career prospects.the financial, and career prospects. The financial aid I got made a big difference. If you can secure a scholarship and are serious about studies, this college is worth it. And placement is also good here ,evey big MNCs is come here for hiring .

Person with expectations, College full of regrets

I used to pay 300000 for one year and i am pursuing a B. Tech degree so for four years the total fee cost would be 12L just for the college and if you choose the hostels as well it would cost you roughly around 20L

My SRM review

Yearly fees is 475000 with no additional costs except the hostel fees and the money required for buying lab coats, calculator etc. The entrance test exam registration fees was 1400?. There are people with a 100% scholarship in tuition as well as hostel fees. The college doesn't plan on increasing their fees anytime soon. I belong to the general category
