Choose your future wisely.
Placements: 40% of students from my batch were placed. The college offered high placement opportunities, while others chose to higher studies. Many companies from India and outside were at placements. The average package was 3 LPA. The college also provided internships.
Infrastructure: SRM had the best mess and hostel facilities. They had Wi-Fi and the best food, including both North and Southern tastes. There was a hospital inside the campus that provided 24/7 services. The toilets were clean, better water facilities, and study environment, sports, and games.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, very qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was perfect. They didn’t interfere in students personal matters and provided complete freedom on campus. They cleared all doubts, helped with exams, and were supportive. Taking online classes if needed.

SRM - A must join college for living your dreams as you want to.
Placements: As of now, I am a first-year student so I don't know how the systems work here. But for sure, I have heard from seniors that it's a wonderful experience for almost all of them. I hope that I will be a part of a great and esteemed company because of SRM.
Infrastructure: The mess, canteen, medical facilities, sports and games facilities are top notch in our college. The students are supported with all facilities regarding sports. The mess is kept equally clean throughout. The canteen provides good food at very decent and affordable prices.
Faculty: The exam difficulty is decent which can be easily cracked if studied well. The pass percentage is 50% which is obviously way lower than the school time. Curriculum is easy to crack either way. The question patterns are handy and easy to solve so it is good to solve.
Other: My course is one of my favourites and love the faculty members here. Events such as Aarush event, Milan, etc., are conducted.

SRM thoroughly reviewed by a second-year student.
Placements: The placements for my branch are bad. The median package is between 5 to 7 Lacs per annum. The highest it has ever gone is somewhere in the 20 Lacs per annum range; that too could be an off-campus placement. Pharma, virology, and medical fields have requirements for biotechnology individuals.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for my branch is pretty good and world-class. It is one of the best reasons for doing Biotechnology from SRM. The laboratories and equipment are all up to the mark and modern, which is essential to give us hands-on experience, which is vital in our field. The hostels, on the other hand, are average at best. The first-year hostels are clustered to fit in as many students as possible, but at least there are rooms available, which reduce drastically for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. The common washrooms are comparable to railway washrooms, but the attached washrooms are still satisfactory.
Faculty: The teaching is a hit or a miss. The teachers are either good at explaining the concepts, or they just aren't able to impart the knowledge they possess. The faculty members, though, are highly qualified individuals who are doing their own research as well. The course curriculum follows the new NEP; it's as good as it could be, but there's always a huge room for improvement. The assessments are hectic, as we have CTs almost every month, along with assignments and projects adding up to a total of 60 marks for internals. The rest 40 marks are from the end-semesters of 75 marks, which is converted to 40, making the total 100 marks (60+40).
Other: The high-end infrastructure and equipment available for my course at SRM were the leading factors for me to join the course. The fests are good, especially the techno fest Aarush, but the Milan fest is more crowded due to locals also coming to the fest.

Review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology.
Placements: I have recently started the course. However, based on reviews and feedback from seniors, I heard the placements are average. Companies offering placements are decent but they are not top companies. Our seniors got placed in good companies. There are internship programs available, where we can apply and get recruited.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is bad, though it is available. Hostel food is not good, and it is uncooked. Desks and tables in our classrooms are very bad and broken, they don't even bother to fix them. Despite paying a lot of money, they don't invest in improving anything but focus more on their benefit.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified but they are rude and strict. Semester exams are good. They treat their native students well, but their behavior towards outsiders is rude. In the initial days, they were good, but over time, they started showing their true colors. Currently, everyone adjusted.

Surprisingly good given the fee structure.
Placements: In 2024 placement session, ONLY 1 company came for biotech. If you're considering this stream in SRM, you better be mentally prepared that you'll have to either go for a Master's or look for off-campus placements. The package offered by the company was 3 LPA. None of my biotechnology peers have gotten any internships in biotech.
Infrastructure: Mess food is surprisingly decent. I and my friends genuinely look forward to going to the mess when we are hungry. Materials used are good, and the mess is very clean. The menu is also really diverse, and food in general is as good as mess food goes. The Wi-Fi is pretty good, giving an average download speed of about 5-6 Mbps in hostels and university buildings. Hostels are very clean. Aids come to clean your room and washrooms (including the commode) every single day and clean it properly. Dustbins are everywhere, so you won't see littering in hostel corridors. It’s very clean. Classrooms are decent, clean, and the Wi-Fi works well.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful most of the time, given that you're sincere with them. They check papers with leniency and are understanding. They are knowledgeable and well-qualified for the subject they are teaching. Their English, however, could have been better. Because of the thick Tamil accent, it’s very difficult for a non-Tamil to comprehend what they say sometimes, especially when their English speaking skills are subpar. Biotechnology is VERY RESEARCH-ORIENTED, which is a very good thing. Reading books only for a field as ever-evolving as biotech is not adequate. Exams are fairly EASY-MODERATE, and there is a saying around SRM that scoring a good CGPA (9+) is not a very difficult thing to do around here.
Other: I chose biotech in SRM because there are only a few colleges across India that offer B.Tech courses to PCB students, and out of those, SRM seemed to be the best option given the campus life and the research infrastructure. Events are good. Relevant celebrities show up at fests. Apart from fests, the festival celebrations are also good. SRM MUN is one of the bigger events throughout the year. The crowd is decent and friendly. There is no hint of North-South hostility. Things that could be better: laundry service, curfew time rules (it’s 9 PM for everyone), medical facilities, attendance system, and leave approval system. The location of the college is pretty nice; most people have a mountain view from their windows and greenery is all around. Pollution is minimal because it’s away from the mainland Chennai.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:   Is SRM University good for B.Tech?
ShikshaGPT says
A: 

Here are some positive and negative points of SRM University: 

Positive:

  1. Located in Chennai which is a metropolitan city. Three out of five campuses are located in Chennai
  2. You can have a lot of fun
  3. In KTR, there are a lot of opportunities provided to students to develop their profile like hundreds of clubs, teams like robocon, conrods, camber, and 4ze where students can build their own bots, cars and stuff. If you are really interested in your field then you can do anything in SRM
  4. Canteen facilities are excellent
  5. As far as placements are concerned, most students are placed in IT sector. Core companies also visit the campus but they select only one or two students. In a batch of 500600 students i.e. 1520 students are placed in core companies. But still that depends on your skills and we can’t blame the university for that.

Negative:

  1. The student to faculty ratio is too high.
  2. Faculty members are not very highly skilled, though they are postgraduates in their respective field. Most of them have completed M.Tech from other local colleges. There are very few from IITs and foreign universities.
  3. The curriculum is old. 
  4. The evaluation system is also not very good.
  5. Very little research happens here. Most of the faculty members don’t have any publications
  6. Also, if you have a lot of money you can join in management quota into any branch you want. Almost half of the students have joined in management quota.

All the best.
