SRM Institute of Science and Technology Infrastructure FAQs

The below-mentioned are SRM Institute of Science and Technology infrastructure FAQs:

Q:   How is the infrastructure of SRM University Kattankulathur?
A:

SRM Institute of Science and Technology Kattankulathur is a sprawling 250-acre campus that offers a wide range of facilities to its students, including state-of-the-art laboratories, laboratory, Wi-Fi, a knowledge centre, libraries, a 4,000-capacity AC auditorium, more than 100 online smart classrooms, boys and girls hostels with multiple premium facilities, and much more.

The campus is also green, clean, and energy-efficient. Solar energy is one of the major sources of power for the campus, and the energy generated from solar panels is used to power solar steam cooking and solar water heaters installed in the hostels.

 

Q:   How is SRM Chennai in terms of faculty, infrastructure, placement, etc.? Is it worth going to SRM if you want a bright future?
A:
  • 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!

I have a good time learning here.

Infrastructure: Our course is brilliantly designed, from interdisciplinary sciences to theory to cutting-edge nanotech labs. It is awesome. Hostel life, on the contrary, can be improved. The girls' hostel is very rigid with its rules, and the hostel staff is not friendly.

Faculty depends. Good placements before. Now high, good infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: The structure is really good. Only the weather is a problem. It's becoming exhausting. The Wi-Fi actually fluctuates a lot, except in specific places like the architecture block and library. I have heard that the mess food is bad, but compared to my PG, it's good. They get snacks like pani puri, gulab jamun, etc., and a good variety of food, but one shouldn't consistently have mess food. Sports-wise, there is everything here.

SRM is a massive, vibrant hub spread across 250 acres, with a high-energy, global campus.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was well-maintained and modern. The massive central library consisted of a large stock of books. The quality of the food was good. The campus was like a self-sustained mini city sprawling over 250 acres, also consisting of specialized academic zones.

SRMIST-KTR is an extraordinary engineering college!

Infrastructure: I don't have the count of the boys' hostels, as ours was at the SRM main campus in Chennai. There were N-number of hostels. The best thing was that I was from Mumbai and other students were also from other places, so they ensured that the mess served a variety of food items that catered to the palate of each student. Rest of the infrastructure needs a special mention, as from the auditorium to the sports grounds, everything was lit up for students to go and have a ball.

SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Kattankulathur, has the most dynamic faculty members.

Infrastructure: Hostels are perhaps the best option for outsiders. Hostels are plenty here, with plenty of options to choose from. The dining halls of the hostels are clean as a whistle, and every hostel has a separate engaging room. In that room, there are games and TV facilities too. Our campus is also huge and has facilities that most can't even imagine. From food courts to medical and sports facilities, the infrastructure is just fantastic here.
