Our college is really good overall. Overall, highly recommended.
Placements: Placements in our college are really good. We get like top-tier companies. Students also get training for job placements and have a high chance of getting offered. We have aptitude and so many other exams to help us with placement training. We get high-tier companies for placements. There are many student recruited with good LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really good. All Building are provided with elevator. We have so many facilities here. Many labs and libraries to work with. We are provided with high-quality teachers, wifis, and resources. As far as food goes, our college canteen is in high demand. We have canteens all around campus for easy access. We have ambulances on standby and pharmacies inside our campus.
Faculty: Our faculty members are highly qualified. The materials provided are really helpful for our exams. As far as the exam goes, it's difficult, especially the CATs, but it makes our semester exams easier, which is an advantage. We have a passing percentage of 65% which is challenging yet very helpful.
Other: Our college is not just academically oriented. It conducts so many cultural events and gives us exposure. They encourage us to participate in other college events as well.

This is not SRM Institute, don't be confused.
Placements: Students are eligible for placements in the 6th semester. The placements are below average. I don't see many seniors getting placed in many core companies. This college is a market for service based mass recruiters. As a student from here, I wouldn't trust the placement cell. The packages are so low. The highest package was 35 LPA, I think, which was offered to a single student 5 years back. This is true and don't trust the highest package. Internships are offered, but they are like we have to pay to attend the sessions.
Infrastructure: The library has only subject-related books in the majority. The classroom just has a green board and several fans. A single sports event, too. The only thing that is good about the college, and the one thing I like, is basically the infrastructure and the lab facilities. Hostel is the best part of the campus. It's very comfortable with an attached bathroom for 3 people. We don't have Wi-Fi, though. It has 8 floors. Food is bad, even though we pay a lot, it's not worth it at all.
Faculty: Faculty: Student 1:20. The faculty members in a mid-tier college can't expect much. They have PhDs, but I don't feel like they are really PhD graduates. I feel like they joined here out of unemployment. The faculty-student relationship depends on how they communicate with each other. There are some good staff too, but they are controlled by the boring system. They conduct like 2 exams for internals and a model before the main exams. It is not too difficult to pass if you study the bare minimum. Can ace if studied well.

Review of Saveetha Engineering College.
Placements: I think mostly 75 per cent are placed this year, the highest salary package is 36 Lacs per annum, the average salary is 6.5 Lacs per annum, and the lowest salary is 4 Lacs per annum. We have maintained a minimum 75 per cent attendance using my Camu. You have to put attendance using that.
Infrastructure: The hostel has good room facilities, but the food is very average and the tower is not available. There is a hospital inside the campus, and it has a lot of canteens, and in college you have Wi-Fi facilities, which are more practical, and a laptop is a must for the soft department and overall good.
Faculty: Faculty members were well-trained, and we have a lot of projects and exams. The facilities are very helpful. We have a system called flexi learn, in this we can select the subject, timing, facilities, and we have to move for all classes and ensure good maintenance.
Other: They have conducted Drestrain, a 1-week event and conduct Celenza, which is a 3-day cultural event.

Overall, the college life will be very good here.
Placements: In SRM, most of the students will get placed in the campus interviews, and they do not have any history of arrears. Some students with the arrears may also get placed. The highest package offered is up to 12LPA, and the average package offered is up to 4 to 6LPA.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are undoubtedly very good and neat. The food in the canteen will be good, no issues with the food. The college has the biggest auditorium. The college is very big, so there is no need to worry about the infrastructure. You will love it there.

Dissatisfied because of campus size.

Infrastructure: Inside the campus, the academic facilities like laboratory, library, classrooms, projector to teach, seminar hall, conference hall, auditorium, canteen, hostel for boys and girls, mess, play grounds are well maintained. In overall the infrastructure is acceptable.
Faculty: The teachers and faculty members are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of the faculty member is acceptable. The semester exams are not so difficult as the college is autonomous college now. So, the question papers are taken by the management.
