Is SRM worth the money in the long run?

Placements: 74% of students are placed in our college. 65 LPA is the highest package offered, and 9 LPA is the average, with around 3,700 students being placed. The highest package was offered for a quant developer role. Research internships and grants are available within the college, and they help to collaborate with other colleges.

Good college overall but very crowded. Good for college life.

Placements: This college advertises an almost 100 percent placement rate but those numbers may or may not be true. Criteria may have been altered to reach those numbers. I have seen many seniors get placed in decent companies. They have also mentioned their peers getting placed.

I am absolutely dissatisfied because their way of teaching is very bad.

Placements: Students from electronics and communication are placed in well-known companies by developing skills in SRM. The placement opportunities are also good and can be better in the upcoming years. The maximum number of campus opportunities is more. The offline parameters should be impactful and a more restful way for students to go into their favourite companies.

No doubt in infrastructure, but not happy with placements and facilities being a little.

Placements: SRM provides strong placement support, especially for tech branches. High packages depend heavily on skills (DSA, coding, projects, and many more). Mass recruiters ensure a safety net for most students. Internships are crucial for top offers. Top-tier companies visit, but competition is high.

Satisfied with the infrastructure and good experience here.

Placements: The percentage of students is high but they provide decent placement if you maintain a good CGPA across the years. Top companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple come for placement. You can easily get placed if you work on your skills and maintain more than 8.5 CGPA all four years.
