• College Infrastructure: SRM has a well-defined layout in terms of infrastructure. The campus is spread over a large area, with all the basic facilities provided. There are huge grounds and indoor courts for sports; the gymnasium is made for the students of the college. The library is technically advanced and has a good collection of books. The classrooms are well maintained with smart boards installed, and the washrooms are clean. The canteen has diverse varieties of food that are hygienic and affordable.
• Academics: CSE has proven to be a good course for me as it aligns with my interests and liking for computers and programming. The course is well updated, and even the curricula followed in college fall in line with the skills required in the job sector. The course has a lot of research and practicality, which definitely makes one job-ready. The teachers are cooperative and experienced, and they mentor each student at every point.
• Placements: Approximately 70% of the students get hired in the recruitment drive held by the college. The placement drive is held in the most efficient manner. The average package is around 5 LPA, which is a good kickstart for any student in their respective fields. The college has a placement cell that is responsible for inviting firms to the college and guiding fellow students in getting placed, hence making the college supportive. The placements must be inclusive of all the courses, which is a demerit.
• Value-for-money: The annual tuition fee structure was a bit on the expensive side, as my yearly fee was around 3 lacs p/a, which might not be affordable for many students. But the quality of services and education, with all the basic amenities, make SRM worth the investment. Personally, SRM is making each penny count.
• Campus Life: Though the college is isolated from the main part of the city, it is glorious from the inside. There are sports activities in the college and many cultural societies, like dance and music societies. Moreover, there are various clubs that keep on participating in educational competitions. Various seminars are held and several festivals are conducted throughout the year, making college life happen. There's a medical room to handle any emergency as and when it arises!
