SRM University’s Semester Abroad, Dual Degree and Twining Programs for Engineering & MBA students
Offering high standards of education, SRM University is known for endowing its students with exciting opportunities and lucrative placements. Spear-heading in the direction, the University had introduced three outbound mobility programmes to provide international exposure to its students. Mentioned below are the programmes and their details.
Student Abroad and Transfer Program (SATP)
One such program enables students to take-up a few courses and /or a Major project in reputed foreign universities for ONE semester. 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. After the study period concludes at the foreign university, students would be returning to SRM to continue with the degree programme they actually enrolled for. 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:
- BTech and MS
- MTech and MS
- MBA Dual
Twining Program: Under this program, the partnering universities offer Bachelors (UG) and Masters (PG) degree programs with the regular curriculum. The program would enable students to earn credits during the course of their study at SRM. Students would also have the chance to complete their two year studies at SRM or transfer their credits to the partnering universities at any time while studying at the University. The program will be available to students at the Bachelors level.

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, both are good — just different paths.
COE/CE (Computer Engineering):
- More coding-focused
- Better placement stats overall
- Easier path into software roles
ECE (Electronics & Communication):
- Mix of electronics + coding
- Slightly tougher academically
- Good options

So basically, the syllabus for SRM, VITEEE, GITAM, and most IIIT entrance exams is not something completely different. All of them are mostly based on your Class 11 and 12 NCERT. If you're preparing for JEE Main, you're already covering a big part of it.
