sir I have got srmjeee rank 14825 in phase 2, can I get SRM main campus CSE with specialization or I should go for ECE from main campus and is it worth it?

Ans: Sweta, With an All India rank of 14,416 in SRMJEEE Phase 2, securing BTech CSE with specialization is feasible only at less demanded SRM campuses. Historically, Kattankulathur CSE closes by rank 9,000, making it unattainable at 14,416, while Ramapuram and Vadapalani accept up to rank 65,000–68,000, Tiruchirappalli up to 12,000, and Delhi NCR up to 54,000. Branch-specific specializations (e.g., CSE–AI/ML) have similar cutoffs or slightly tighter by 2,000–5,000 ranks. Given these trends, you can expect CSE seats with specialization at Ramapuram, Vadapalani, Tiruchirappalli, and Delhi NCR campuses, but not at the main Kattankulathur campus. All these campuses offer strong placement rates—over 85% for CSE—with major recruiters and modern labs, though batch sizes and infrastructure maturity vary by location.

The recommendation is to participate in counselling with preferences for Ramapuram or Vadapalani for CSE specializations, followed by Tiruchirappalli or Delhi NCR, and avoid Kattankulathur at your current rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Kanishk, With a SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,825, you are not eligible for CSE core or CSE with specialization at SRM Kattankulathur main campus, as the 2025 cutoff for these branches is expected to close between 8,000–10,000 for CSE and 9,000–10,000 for CSE specializations. However, you are well within the cutoff for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at the main campus, which is projected to close around 12,000. The ECE program at SRM KTR is academically strong, with modern labs, experienced faculty, and a placement rate of 80–95% in recent years, with top recruiters like Samsung, Qualcomm, Nokia, Siemens, and Bosch. ECE graduates from SRM KTR also secure roles in software and IT, not just core electronics. While CSE is generally more in demand in the job market, ECE at SRM KTR offers strong placement outcomes and flexibility for tech careers.

The recommendation is to opt for ECE at SRM Kattankulathur main campus, as it is a reputable program with solid placements and academic support, and is a worthwhile choice if you are unable to secure CSE at this campus. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a rank of 1423 in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you have a good chance of securing a seat in CSE or ECE at one of the SRM campuses, particularly if you are open to options beyond the main Kattankulathur campus.
