My son has got 8567 rank in SRM second phase exam. What is the chance of him getting admission in Btech Biotechnology branch in KTR Chennai campus?

Ans: HI Sir,
Why Biotech?

Ans: Hi Stephen,
My question why biotechnology?

Ans: Jitender Sir, With a SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 9,953, your son is just outside the expected cutoff for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at SRM Kattankulathur (main campus), where the CSE cutoff is projected to close around 8,000–9,000 for 2025, and CSE specializations like AI/ML and Data Science are also highly competitive, typically closing below 10,000. While direct admission to CSE at the main campus is unlikely at this rank, he stands a strong chance of getting CSE at other SRM campuses such as Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, and NCR, where the CSE cutoff ranges from 12,000 to as high as 68,000 depending on the campus. Additionally, branches like ECE at Kattankulathur are expected to close around 10,000–12,000, making ECE at the main campus a realistic option. All SRM campuses offer robust placement support, with CSE and ECE consistently reporting 80–95% placement rates and a broad recruiter base from both IT and core sectors.

The recommendation is to participate in counselling for ECE at SRM Kattankulathur if the main campus is a priority, or opt for CSE at Ramapuram, Vadapalani, or NCR campuses, as these options provide strong academic and placement outcomes at your son’s rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Pradeep Sir, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) core branch at SRM Kattankulathur (Chennai) main campus. The expected cutoff for CSE core at Kattankulathur is typically within 8,000–9,000, and recent years have seen cutoffs as competitive as 2,000 for core CSE, with specializations like AI/ML closing around 9,000–10,000. While your son’s rank is excellent, it falls outside the highly competitive range for CSE core at the main campus, where only top-ranked candidates secure seats. However, he has strong chances for CSE at other SRM campuses such as Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, and Delhi-NCR, where the CSE cutoff extends up to 65,000–68,000. Additionally, he is well positioned for allied branches like CSE with AI/ML, IT, or ECE at Kattankulathur, as their cutoffs are less stringent (AI/ML: up to 10,000, IT: up to 9,500, ECE: up to 12,000). All SRM campuses offer strong placement rates for CSE and allied branches, with robust industry connections and modern infrastructure.

The recommendation is to participate in counselling for allied branches such as CSE with AI/ML, IT, or ECE at SRM Kattankulathur, or opt for CSE at Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, or Delhi-NCR campuses, as these options provide excellent academic and placement outcomes at your son’s rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
