There are many other colleges which will provide good facilities or even are better than SRM. These are definitely worth trying for. 

Is your SRMJEEE score not up to your expectations or so low that you cannot get admission? You have to think deeply about your next step because that will help you decide your future.

Here in this article I will tell you the options you have if your SRMJEEE score is low or below your expectations.

Dropping a Year

This option is the riskiest you have because dropping a whole year in the current situation is really a big deal. Right now, every student wants to settle in life as soon as possible, so a whole year does matter a lot. Before choosing this, options you have to consider some facts like are you really want to do it.

  5. Manipal University

Wait for Subsequent Counselling Sessions

I am not denying that there are some chances of getting admission during subsequent counselling sessions but you cannot just wait for that because there is no guarantee that you will get admission surely. Therefore, you have to start considering other options because I do not think so that anyone of you wants to waste your one prestigious year.

I know that college matter a lot right now but the main things are your performance in engineering and your academics score, so you should take the admission in some other universities if you do not get it in SRM because at the end your focus and your dedication are the main criteria to decide your future.

No, it is not mandatory to appear in all three phases of SRMJEEE. Candidates can appear in any one, two or all three phases, depending on their choice. If candidates appear in more than one phase, the best of all attempted score will be considered for admission.
