i got srmjeee rank 16145 what course /campus/fees can i get

Ans: Join NCR or Ramapuram campus if you want a balance of good location, decent placements, and brand reputation.

If AI/ML is not available, you can opt for CSE core and take AI/ML electives later – most companies hire from CSE regardless of specialization.

Ans: With rank 14,500 in SRMJEEE Phase 2, you have strong opportunities for CSE across multiple SRM campuses while securing good branches at the main campus. SRM operates six primary campuses: Kattankulathur (main Chennai campus), Ramapuram, Vadapalani (both in Chennai), Ghaziabad (Delhi-NCR), plus sister universities in Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Sikkim, and Haryana. Your rank positions you at the boundary between main campus non-CSE branches and CSE availability at other campuses.

Main Campus Analysis: SRM Kattankulathur's CSE cutoff typically closes around 8,000-9,000 rank, making CSE unlikely at your rank. However, you're well-positioned for Mechatronics (closing around 42,000-48,000), ECE (22,000-27,000), and Nanotechnology (around 70,000).

Alternative Campus Options: SRM Ramapuram offers CSE up to rank 65,000 with excellent placement records—100% placement for the past six years, with recent highest packages of 26.4 LPA for CSE 2025 batch. SRM Ghaziabad (Delhi-NCR) accepts CSE students up to rank 54,000 and provides proximity to Delhi's tech ecosystem. SRM Amaravati achieved 100% CSE placements in 2021 with average package of 7.05 LPA. SRM Sikkim offers CSE with 85% overall placement rate and growing industry connections.

Placement Comparison: While main campus placements are premium, Ramapuram maintains competitive records with 1,136 CSE students registered in 2025, achieving 705 placements. Other campuses provide good industry exposure—Amaravati's first CSE batch secured 100% placements with 71% in super dream/dream offers, and Sikkim reported 91% placements in 2019-20.

The recommendation is to secure CSE at SRM Ramapuram or Ghaziabad over main campus Mechatronics/ECE/Nanotechnology, as CSE offers broader career flexibility, higher industry demand, and these campuses maintain strong placement records with dedicated industry partnerships while providing similar SRM brand value and curriculum standards. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
