The credits earned at the university abroad though this programme will be converted into SRM credits via an approved conversion procedure. This would further be considered for the award of the degree by SRM University.

Students will become eligible for award of degree by SRM University once they fulfill the necessary conditions.

Dual Degree Program: As the name suggests, this program would have students working for two different university degrees parallelly. This can either be at the same institute or two different institutes. Students will be able to complete the program in less time as compared to the time taken to earn them separately. The degrees might or might not be in the same subject. The university will offer dual degree programmes at Bachelors (UG) or Masters (PG) level. Any student who do not wish to go to the partnering universities or fails to get a visa will be completing their program of study at SRM and would thus be awarded degrees by the same university.  The Dual degree option is available under certain degree programs of the faculty of Engineering & Technology and Management. The combinations you can choose under this program are:
