So, basically the quest for getting Computer Science branch made me choose SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tiruchirappalli. The teaching faculty and the environment it provides are good. When I talk about environment, it means the clubs, as I truly believe exposure to those will have a huge impact, because we live in a world where we need both technical and soft skills. Also, for defense aspirants, SRMNCC is a place where they inculcate discipline and leadership. In a nutshell, whatever domains SRM provides in addition to academic excellence is up to the mark as well. The students should just have an urge to learn more and more. I happily recommend this institute to other students too.

For Math and Physics professors use blackboards to solve the complex numerical. Whereas, for theory subjects PPTs are preferred, as it saves time from writing and gives enough time for explanation. The professors explain us really good. Group discussions are also an integral part but takes place occasionally. Also, it depends upon teacher about how they bond with students. The teachers are well versed in their teaching and have a good grip over their respective subjects. Each semester you get 7-8 subjects hence, this many teachers as well. The faculty members are really friendly and approachable. They help clear student’s doubts and support the learning endeavors of the students.
