Sir my son got 9953 rank in SRM phase 2.he is interested in cse. How many chances are there at Chennai or other campus.

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!
