Balanced in every aspect and focused on placements.

Placements: Most of the students, around 80%, get placed. The highest package is around 1.2 CPA, while the lowest package is around 3 LPA. The average package is around 9–10 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Google, iOS, Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung. Around 50% of students have internships for now, but not all of them are from specific companies. Software Development Engineer is one of the top roles offered.

Overall, I'm satisfied with this university and my decision of joining here.

Placements: Frankly speaking, placements are better for core branch students compared to CSE students. There's a lot of competition in CSE, unlike for core branches. There are fewer students, and placements are so good. I'm from EEE. Students from core branches got placed with salary packages varying from 12 LPA, 20 LPA to 15 LPA, etc. Currently, I'm doing an industrial internship with Havells Company. There are so many internship opportunities from best companies like Havells, Orient, etc.

Review of SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur.

Placements: 40% of the total students are placed in our course. The highest salary package offered this year was approximately 50 LPA. Google, Tata and many more are the recruiters of our college. 30% of students got internships in Samsung, Deno, and many other companies. If you are a good student, you can get placed. It depends on you.

Good college, great campus life, but you have to study on your own.

Infrastructure: I am in N block hostel, which is really good. The infrastructure for the university is also really good, and the food is way better than most hostels. Everything works really well, the rooms are good, and the quality of everything is good. The campus has everything.

I have a good time learning here.

Placements: If students sit for placements from our course, about 40 percent are placed. Although most are not considering placements as we want to go for higher studies like Master's and Ph.D., we have an option for sitting for placements for our course.

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

Placements: I heard many people actually get placements, but this time, there are around 30,000 people in the engineering department alone. So, it might be tough, but specifically in my course, the number is smaller, so I might have a chance. Top roles are cybersecurity analyst, digital forensic analyst, cybersecurity engineer, etc.
