How good is SRM IMT, Ghaziabad as an engineering college?

First of all, it is SRM IST, Ghaziabad. While the institute is meant for science and engineering courses, it doesn’t quite live up to expectations. My cousin studied at SRM Institute, Ghaziabad and honestly he regrets choosing that college. 

Here are the major reasons why you should also not opt for this college.

• Misleading location: For those people who are thinking that the college comes under the NCR region (as mentioned on the website) which is in proximity to Delhi, you are wrong. The National Capital Region does not cover the boundaries of Modinagar (Precisely Sikrikalan), where this institute is situated. If you belong to NCR, it will switch to roaming once you enter the premises.

• Poor management: The management is really poor; you will face delays in all petty admin works like getting statements attested, recommendation letters, fee refunds, etc.

• Faculty: My cousin studied Computer Science which is called to be the best faculty there. However, his expectations were shattered due to the poor faculty. The professors (except a few) have no idea what they teach. You can expect the same professor to take Data Structures, Mobile Computing, Theory of Computation, etc. There is no plagiarism policy, with practical records being the same for all 60 students in the class.
  Also, the labs were outdated, with cutting-edge hardware running on a pirated version of Windows.

• Hostels: The hostels are decent; however, the mess food wasn't worth the high fees they charge. The hostel wardens are uneducated, doing nothing in case of mishaps and aren’t bothered about discipline.

• Poor placement assistance: For the placements in the final year, you need to travel all the way to Chennai with no support from management, not even accommodation support. Still, you won’t get a good placement.

Overall, my cousin and many of his friends managed to spend 4 miserable years in this institute. They feel like it was a waste of hard-earned money. So, we do not recommend you to join this institute unless you are not getting admission to the main SRM campus (situated in Sonipat, Haryana) or any other well-reputed institute.
