SRM Institute of Science and Technology Kattankulathur Chennai Answered Questions

I don't think so. There are no phases in the counseling to begin with. You get slot depending on your rank, could be either on the first day or the second day or the third and so on. Also, you do get a refund of the amount you paid during the counseling. Depending on your 12th Physics, Chemistry and Math GPA, you would be allotted a campus, say if you get 65% above you'd be allowed to choose the main campus and after that, when you go to the campus and register yourself in the desired branch, they make you fill a form which compels you to pay the entire tuition fees if you plan on dropping out of the college in the mid. Do pay attention to that form. Good luck.

Yes, the college will be able to provide ample exposure to the students. The campus is well equipped and the infrastructure is world class. In terms of faculty members it is disappointing as per the university standards what it claims, the only downside I found in SRM is their faculty members, they are not competent enough. But the overall the university is very good.

Both the universities mentioned by you (Amity University, GD Goenka University) are equally good. But before you take a hasty decision, it is very important to consider the following parameters:
1. Eligibility:-
Amity University- Candidate must be a graduate or postgraduate in Science /Social Science / Humanity from a recognised University having aggregate 55%. Candidates having B.E. / B.Tech degree in Science/ Mathematics having aggregate 50% are also eligible.
GD Goenka University- Candidate must have completed Graduation in any discipline with at least 50% of marks from recognised university/institute. Also, you will have to apply to Goenka Aptitude Test for Admission (GATA).
2. Affiliation / Recognition:-
Amity University-NAAC 'A' Grade and GD Goenka University-NCTE approved.
3. Course highlight:-
Amity University:- The lecturers are experts in their fields and are clearly enthusiastic about their subjects. The course structure is particularly the combination of seminars, lectures, and tutorials within small groups that will give you an opportunity for discussion and full engagement with the course content. You'll gain a deep insight into education by learning the role of a professional educator, the new changes in the education system and a lot more.
GD Goenka University- The programme focuses on initiating and enhancing educational discourse by organizing seminars, debates, lectures and discussions for student teachers. The highlights of the Programme are to make the student- teachers organize and participate in intra-institutional and inter-institutional activities on themes of educational significance. A participatory teaching approach is adopted to help student teachers develop reflective thinking and questioning skills. The focus is also on developing research aptitude and critical thinking. Also, if possible go through the alumni speak section to get an idea what the alumni has to say about the institute. The Training and Placement Unit of both the Institutes are responsible for providing world class job opportunities after the completion of the course for suitable jobs in the industry and various private and public sector organizations. No institute can guarantee you placements. It's just purely based on how you utilize your abilities and skills at the right time. I would suggest you to contact the training and placement department personally for accurate numbers.
