Companies like Infosys, Wipro, Oracle, Microsoft, etc often recruit students of SRM and a lot of them are enjoying success abroad.
The best option for you will be LNCT Bhopal as it offers a great ROI when placement packages are seen.
Which is better: SRM, HINDUSTAN, SASTRA, GITAM university?
I am a student at SRM, so I will tell you particularly about my university.
SRM is a highly-graded university with experienced faculty, rich academics, and a good campus life. My experience of SRM has been quite pleasant up till now. You’ll learn a lot at this place, and develop excellent communication skills. You’ll be given good projects.
This university has a highly diverse population and a multidisciplinary approach to studies. It has a good reputation and a decent placement record. IT and CSE students get on-campus placements for sure. However, for Aerospace, only 1 or 2 companies visit the campus with job offers. Companies like Byjus and Jaro Education offer around 13 LPA and are open to all engineering branches.
I would personally recommend SRM for your studies as it offers an all-around development with decent placements.
Which college should be preferred between Thapar University and SRM, Chennai?
The comparison between Thapar and SRM is definitely not up to the mark because Thapar is better than SRM. Having friends studying in both these colleges, I can assure you to confidently choose Thapar over SRM.
- Being a private college SRM had never paid attention to the quality education or any other criteria which a better college should do. It's the same as all other private colleges in India.
- Thapar should be preferred. Be it faculty, environment, infrastructure, education, and placements, Thapar is much better.

CUSAT has got only two campuses out of which SOE (School of Engineering) is considered to be the priority institution for the students aspiring admission in CUSAT and the curriculum is at par with IITs/NITs.
- The fees at CUSAT are quite affordable to middle-class groups whereas SRM is a bit costly.
- In CUSAT, other government reservations and relaxations are available for the socially weaker sections as compared to the private universities.
- The campus is fairly good with good facilities. Also, it isn’t really a spoon-feeding institution. Internship/industrial training at good MNCs is possible with student/faculty joint effort.
- Placements are also plausibly good with good remuneration if not so high.
SRM has comparatively more seats in different disciplines of UG level.
- It has a total of 6 campuses and one more has come up in Maharashtra in 2017.
- The campus is vast with good facilities and a cosmopolitan environment.
- Also, selected students get a chance to visit foreign universities under their Semester Abroad Programme and their placement records are interesting. The admission in SRM is based on the entrance merit/affordability of students.
Hence, the overall development of the students in Govt funded colleges, packages V/s the cost of study are the other parameters while selecting between a Govt University or a self-financed deemed university.
