BCA Data Science - Batch of 2025

4.6

Good placements, solid infrastructure, supportive faculty, and a relevant BCA data science course.

Placements: I am currently in SRM IST doing BCA Data Science. Around 80 percent of students in my batch get placed. The highest package is about 8 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA, and the average is around 4.5 LPA. Top recruiters include Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Capgemini, and Wipro. About 70 percent of students got internships in companies like Zoho, Virtusa, and HCL. Common roles offered are junior software developer, data analyst, and data support roles. It's a good platform for learning and placements if you are proactive and work on projects and skills.

Infrastructure: SRM IST has good infrastructure for BCA Data Science. Classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated, labs are equipped with modern computers and software, and Wi-Fi is reliable across campus. The library has a decent collection of books and digital resources. Hostels are clean with basic amenities, and the mess food is average but edible while the canteen offers a variety of snacks. Medical facilities are available on campus, and sports and games facilities like basketball, cricket, and indoor games are decent giving students a good balance of academics and extracurricular activities. SRM has good infrastructure, labs, and faculty.

Faculty: Teachers at SRM IST are generally helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Most are approachable and clarify doubts effectively. The teaching quality is decent though learning depends a lot on the student's effort. The BCA Data Science curriculum is relevant covering programming, data analytics, and the basics of machine learning which helps students gain foundational skills for the industry. Semester exams are moderately challenging, testing both practical and theoretical knowledge. Pass percentages are usually high. Around 85-90 percent but scoring well requires consistent study and attention to assignments and projects.

Other: I am in the BCA Data Science course at SRM IST. I chose this course because I love programming and data analytics, and wanted a career in IT and Data Science. The best things about the course are the practical labs, relevant curriculum, and exposure to coding and analytics projects. I wish there were more industry-oriented workshops and advanced machine learning sessions. The campus has a lively crowd, good connectivity, green surroundings and hosts events and fests regularly. Scholarships and extracurricular activities are available making it a balanced place for learning and overall growth.

It has a good campus to explore. College life is amazing.

Placements: I am from the 2023-2026 BCA data science batch at SRM Kattankulathur, and honestly, placements have been pretty decent for our course. Around 80-85% of students got placed last year. The highest package I heard is 8 LPA, and the lowest package is 3 LPA. The average package is 4.5 LPA. Big companies like Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Capgemini, and Wipro visited the college for placements. Also, quite a few students got internships, i.e., around 70% in companies like Zoho, Virtusa, and HCL, and some even through a coding platform.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure here is honestly top-notch. We have good labs, strong Wi-Fi in academic buildings, clean classrooms with projectors, and a huge library. There are plenty of systems for practicing coding. The campus is fully digital and pretty convenient. Hostel life is good too. I stay in the non-AC block, and it is comfortable and clean.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are approachable. If we are into projects or research, then they are willing to guide us. The course curriculum is relevant, with subjects like Python, R, machine learning, big data, etc. We also have guest lectures and workshops that really help us understand the industry.

Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) - Batch of 2021

Offered by School of Science and Humanities, SRM Kattankulathur

4.2

One of the best private University in India.

Placements: You shouldn't have any backlogs for appearing for the placements. From the first year, we have had CDC (Career Development Cell) classes to train us in everything required for the placements. We also have a placement cell that will provide us with classes, workshops, and training to enhance and brush up your skills and make you ready for the placement. We had top MNCs like Wipro, TCS, Infosys, IBM, etc., that came for the placements. The average salary package was around 3 LPA per annum. Almost 95% of the students were placed during my batch (it was pandemic time, so the process was different).

Infrastructure: We have multiple IT labs available for the students. Each student will get a system for themselves to work. Each classroom had a Wi-Fi connection that allowed the students to connect to the internet for free with credentials provided by the college. We have 2 water coolers on both ends of each floor. A shuttle bus service is provided by the college from the entrance to every main building inside. There are departmental canteens and private canteens. Multiple grounds and even an indoor stadium for sports. The medical college provides medical assistance to students with free checkups and discounts on medical tests.

Faculty: The curriculum is relevant to the current world. Most of the faculty members were working on their papers for Ph.D. So they are well-qualified on relevant subjects/topics. Along with placement training, the curriculum makes us industry-ready. We have exams every 2 months called Cycle Test (CT). 2 CTs and 1 Model exam (all 3, along with attendance, are considered for internal marks) before the finals in a semester. The exams are not easy, but if you study well enough, it's not hard to score marks. Almost 99% of the students pass the exams.

Other: I wanted to learn core coding, and that's why I opted for BCA in SRM. You'll learn different programming languages every semester. I wish we had more time every semester to study them better. SRM has a lot of fests and events happening throughout the year. We have Jhalak, Aarush (inter-house competitions), Marathons, Road Shows, Promotional events, and SRM Milan, a 5-day fest with many events, celebrity appearances, and concerts by famous national and international artists. Our college gives importance to all kinds of extracurricular activities. We have multiple canteens, salons, and even ATMs inside the campus.

The best decision of my life was to choose SRM because of the college life it provides.

Placements: For our course, placements are good, but they could be better and lag behind placements for B.Tech courses. The highest salary package offered is 15 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. Almost all students who appear for placements are placed, except those who have a backlog or are detained. Many companies come for placements. Almost all students are placed.

Infrastructure: Our classrooms have all the necessary facilities. We have Wi-Fi, projectors, tables, chairs, smartboards, and other amenities, but there is no air conditioning system available. Our labs and library are very good. All facilities are available. There are huge hostels with approximately 15 floors that are luxurious. I reside in a PG nearby, but I have heard that hostels are very expensive, costing Rs.250000 per year for a room with an air-conditioning system. Rest facilities are excellent for medical purposes. One can visit one of the top hospitals in the region.

Faculty: The course curriculum is old and needs to be updated. They should remove the unnecessary subjects that are taught every semester. Teachers are well-qualified in their respective domains. They have good knowledge, but there are still a few exceptions. Semester exams are easy to pass in 2-3 days of study, but you should be careful about your internals because they play a vital role in results.

Other: I chose this course because it was the only option left for me, but I have no regrets about my decision. There are many national-level fests like Aarush, Milan Josh, etc., that are conducted from time to time. One can participate in them and learn a lot from other members. SRM has a huge crowd. There will be always a long line for everything but everything is good.
