Everything is there. You need to put in effort and hardwork to get what ever you want.

Placements: You get all major companies into the campus even though it is a tier 2 campus but you get complete opportunity to get placed. But only one negative here that you have very high competition as it's a private college so you should make yourself stand out and get placed.

It is a very expensive college.

Placements: Students become eligible for placements from the 3rd year. There are many students who get good packages in the 3rd year itself. In the 2025 batch, the highest package was 60 LPA. The average package was 10 LPA. Microsoft, Oracle, Accenture, Amazon and many other companies visit SRM. Internships are mostly off-campus, but companies like Adobe and Spine Labs do visit for internships. There are many projects from 3rd year which may lead to internships. The faculty is very good and helps with inter...

Well-rounded, satisfied, and good placement record with a good resolve to have ragging banned.

Placements: Almost 100% of the total students at SRM IST are placed every year. The average package is 8.62 LPA, and the highest package is 52 LPA. Almost all students also got internships in 3-4 years. Some good students got them in 2nd year itself which is impressive.
