Overall, it's average. If you're looking to enjoy your college life, this college is not for you.

Faculty: Staff are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, though some have an attitude. They collect money for all events but lack proper management, with not a single trip planned; it's entirely up to your own interest. The difficulty level is not too high, with a pass percentage of 55 out of 100.

The real truth of SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai - Vadapalani Campus.

Faculty: Teachers are always helpful and approachable at any time. CTS happens every month, which constitutes the internal marks and keeps students focused. If they fail or miss any of them, we might see some GPA difference in the end. There are 60 marks internals and more than 40 marks for the end semester exams.

Overall, it's a good and well-maintained esteemed institution where students can learn.

Faculty: Teachers are experienced and good. It's easy to grasp subject knowledge, and they also help after college hours. Overall, it's easy to clear semester exams if we study. There are cycle tests, a model exam, and then the semester. Basically, a semester lasts six months, with monthly cycle tests, a model exam in the fifth month, and the semester exams.

SRM Vadapalani offers strong placements, good internships, and diverse career opportunities.

Faculty: Teachers at SRM Vadapalani are helpful, qualified, and approachable, but classes are mostly theoretical. The B.Com course is well-structured, covering key subjects like accounting and business law, making it relevant for the industry. Though modern topics could be added. Semester exams are easy and manageable, with a high pass percentage, as most students do well with the support of the faculty.

I am dissatisfied because there is no sports facility as our college doesn't have ground.

Faculty: Our teachers are a little helpful and qualified. It is a little bit difficult to understand the language because they don't speak English. They only speak in the local language, which is Tamil in Chennai. Students are out of Tamilnadu. It is a bit hard for them to understand the language. Exams are quite easy for the semester. We do not need to do more hard work because it is easy to pass semesters as our college does not have that much strict correction.

All the faculty members are very polite and humble.

Faculty: I think there are many faculty members, and these faculty members help very much the students in the curriculum activities. There are 10 semesters. Semester conducts one examination. The examination was taken after the completion of that semester. Faculty members are well behaved and are very friendly. It could have been much better if they were a little qualified from their current qualification.

SRM typically requires minimum 50% PCM (45% for reserved categories) in Class 12, alongside a valid SRMJEEE rank (or JEE Main in some categories). For CS/AI/ML, the rank matters far more. Make maths compulsory (unless you're going for certain tech lite programmes). Always re-check the current year S
