Our college is good for placements and good faculty.
Placements: There is a separate placement team that brings many on-campus drives from different stream companies. Every batch has at least 20 on-campus drives. 80 percent of students get placed in the on-campus drive. The college also provides the details of many off campus drives, and the packages are as per the market. Many companies like TCS, IBM, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, etc. MNCs visit every year.
Infrastructure: The college is away from the city with peaceful surroundings and a green environment. The college has different blocks for each stream and a bus facility from all over the city. Each department has very good labs and classrooms are equipped with digital technology. The college provides free Wi-Fi to students on campus. There is hostel facility for both boys and girls with separate blocks.
Faculty: Every department has very qualified and experienced faculty. Each department has faculty with PhDs and more than 8 years of experience. The faculty is very up-to-date with technology and helpful to students in encouraging them to improve their skills and knowledge. They are helpful in providing notes and internship programs, they provide good technology.

SRM VEC College has some restrictions in the dress code. There are no cultural events.
Placements: Last year, out of 60 students, nearly 15 got placed. The package offered is less than 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Hexaware Technologies and Johnson Lifts, etc. The overall placement is average. I would suggest people not to expect more from the college placements. They have to put effort into off-campus also.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are quite neat and clean and the seminar hall has AC. The classrooms only have around 6 fans and the seating capacity of around 120 members. Maybe the classrooms make it an AC upgrade, and the department is located on the 10th floor of the college. Still, we have an issue with the lift because it is overloaded and we can't use it in the morning and evening because of overcrowding. The library has plenty of books. The canteen is in decent condition.
Faculty: Teachers are good. Teaching quality is too good. The course curriculum is good. It doesn't make the students industry-ready, still they train students to get into a job. The semester exams are somehow difficult still it is an autonomous college. The pass percentage is around 80 percent.
Other: Electronics and instruments in engineering is a required course in the AI era. The best things about my course are PLC, SCADA, automation, and robotics. The Laboratories may need an update in future years. These fests and culturals do not happen at all in SRMVEC. Yet we can go and see SRMIST events like Yatra, Lemuria, and Milan. For good exposure in the electronics field, you can choose this department.

Placements: I am from the 2025-2029 batch in the Industrial Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University. 99% of students are placed. The highest package is 22 LPA.

Top recruiting companies are Siemens, Caterpillar, Ashok Leyland, Sandhanta (an international company), and Japanese and German companies. 100% of students got internships. TCS, manufacturing industries, Ashok Leyland, etc are the recruiting companies. Logistics and supply chain management, process optimization, & quality control are top roles.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is only for laptops. Labs and classrooms are clean. They are structured and well-maintained. Classrooms are also maintained at an average level. There is easy access to the library. This is more useful for studying and is a productive workplace. The quality of facilities at the hostel and food in the mess and canteen are just average. There is easy access to medical facilities in case of emergencies. There are many sports and clubs for the students.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful in guidance and academics. They are well qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. This course is relevant to the curriculum. It makes students industry-ready. The semester exams in this college are average and can be passed easily. The pass percentage is 69 percent.
