S.R.M. Institute of Science and Technology

SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai runs across several disciplines, and NIRF's 2025 rankings reflect that spread: #10 in Pharmacy (score 70.84), #14 in Engineering (65.83), #18 in Medical (63.22), #22 Overall (62.87), #25 in Law (58.00), and #56 in Management (52.74). With 60,113 students and 4,466 teaching staff, it is a large campus, and the breadth of ranked fields matters for anyone choosing a course rather than just a college.

Placement data from 2023-24 gives a sense of outcomes by course. Medical PG (3-year) placed all 109 graduates, at a median salary of 18 LPA. Engineering UG (4-year), the largest cohort by far, graduated 4,552 students with 4,210 placed and a median salary of 6.2 LPA. Management PG (2-year) placed 396 of 414 graduates at a median of 8.65 LPA, while Law UG (5-year) placed 150 of 201 graduates at a median of 5 LPA. Pharmacy UG (4-year) had a lower placement rate, with 54 of 100 graduates placed, at a median salary of 6.25 LPA.

Tracking these figures over three years shows a general rise in medians: Medical PG went from 14.4 LPA (2021-22) to 15.6 LPA (2022-23) to 18 LPA (2023-24), and Engineering UG from 4.49 LPA to 6.1 LPA to 6.2 LPA over the same period. Placement counts have also grown alongside cohort sizes, useful context for weighing a given year's numbers against the trend.
