Faculty:
The faculty is experienced and well qualified. They do know their stuff pretty well. They are open to teach those interested in learning and really not bothered about uninterested ones. The faculty will not push you into studying; you need to cultivate interest for the subject yourself.



Attendance and Discipline:
Attendance norm of 75% is taken seriously. Students do bunk but calculatedly and make sure that they don’t exceed the limit. Here there is no restriction on the kind of attire you adorn as opposed to Anna University affiliated colleges. Formals are not compulsory. You will a see a striking change in the ambience and overall feel of the campus here compared to other Chennai colleges.



Crowd:
You can see from the fees that only kids from well to do families come to SRM. There are many North Indians here, almost half the batch comprises of them. It isn’t surprising to find students here wearing expensive brands or carrying expensive gadgets. You don’t really find many studious people here as most of the students are fun loving.



Canteen:
The whole campus has around 20 canteens. Yes it isn’t a mistake, it is 20! Techpark (CS & IT departments) seems to have one of the best canteens. There is also a food court where you will find a lot of options and it is always crowded. You will find almost all cuisine foods here.



Festivals:
'Milan' is the main cultural festival held in the month of January. 'Aarush' is the inter-college fest for all the colleges under the SRM University. These are quite a big festival and you see a good participation from students of SRM and other colleges too.



Placements:
Placements are very good here. The college does have good record for placements and claiming 100% for some batches. The average package got by students here is around 3- 4 Lakh per annum. Few of the students do manage to bag bigger and very high paying offers too.

SRM University is one of the best private universities in Chennai. If cosmopolitan crowd, an air of freedom and good overall development is what you are looking at, then SRM should be your call. However fees and locations might be deterrents.
