The grade point system at SRMIST is as follows:

SRM University Vadapalani campus is home to a vibrant academic community with approximately 20,000 students studying engineering & technology, management, science, and humanities. The campus boasts a diverse range of programs and a strong emphasis on quality education. With a faculty-to-student ratio of approximately 1:13, the university strives to provide personalized attention and foster meaningful student-faculty interactions.
