Which is better? cusat or srm Chennai
Before making any decision, you need to check the key differences between the two:
CUSAT is a central government-funded university whereas SRM is a deemed university. While comparing both the universities is difficult, the CUSAT CAT is a very tough entrance exam somewhat closer to JEE Mains/Advance.

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.
I'm confused. Which college should I go to: SRM, Manipal, or KIIT?
Your preference order should be SRM>Manipal>KIIT. However, you should choose one of these institutes according to your preference and requirements. SRM and Manipal are quite expensive. But these institute offers an enviable campus experience.
On an overall scale, SRM main campus will be the best choice. SRM University placements 2021 had the highest CTC of INR 35 LPA.
Is it true that SRM University has staff from IITs IISc and reputed institution from abroad only as a Global University in India?
One of my cousins graduated from SRM University and here are some of the things I got to know from him, regarding your question.
- To be honest, I do not know how authentic this statement is, as SRM University is as local as a rural university in Uttar Pradesh or Bihar.
- Out of 3000 staff members, only 6 are from IITs. Most of them are from affiliated self-financing colleges like Anna University.
- Some of them are from deemed universities like Satyabhama, Vels and Bharath University.
- Most of the teachers of their management department are from Vinayaka Mission University and Alagappa University.
- The physics and mathematics staff are from local colleges.
- The CSE department does not have good teachers, most of them graduated from SRM only.
- There are also no visiting faculty.
Do check the official website of the college to get an elaborate view of the faculty profiles. It is a local university thus their scope and reach is limited.
Are merit scholarships available at SRM medical college for mbbs
SRM medical college of SRMIST Chennai does offer scholarships to meritorious MBBS students. Here is a list of the merit scholarships offered by the college-
- Merit Scholarship- Those with 95% and above in their CBSE and state board exams, and a rank>10,000 in SRMEE are eligible for this scholarship. This scholarship can waive off upto 50% of the tuition fee.
- Merit cum Means Scholarship- Economically challenged students are offered a tuition fee waiver of 25%-100%, based on their peformance in the qualifying exam.
- Scholarship for Special Merits
I would recommend you consult the college authorities for more details on these scholarships.
Is CUSAT better than SRM for placement purposes?
CUSAT is not a good option for core branches i.e. Mechanical, Civil, ECE or EEE. I am saying this out of personal experience. No core companies visit for Civil placements, and hardly 1-2 companies visit for Mechanical.
SRM gives its students the opportunity to sit for core companies like L&T. At CUSAT, core branch students are ultimately forced to sit for mass recruiters like BYJU’s, Wipro or TCS, or to try for off campus placements or competitive exams. But for CS/IT, Safety and Fire, and Ship Tech, CUSAT is a good option. The placements for these branches are quite good at the college.
CUSAT is a great option for its flagship courses, but if you want to study a core branch, choose SRM University.
Should I get a Bachelor's of Technology in computer science from MSIT GGSIPU or SRM Chennai? Why?
Choose MSIT if you want to prioritize degree value over cost. Otherwise, go with SRM. MSIT CSE placements are excellent, but if you live in a politically neutral environment with large campuses, consider SRM, Chennai.
Technical societies, such as IEEE, are very active, and if you are fortunate enough to be a part of them, it is better for you in terms of placement and 'knowledge building.
If you are serious about expanding your knowledge, there are a few amazing teachers as well as seniors who can assist and guide you. It is entirely up to you to make the most of the available opportunities.
