2. About SRM Institute of Science and Technology
SRM Institute of Science and Technology (formerly known
as SRM University) is one of the top ranking Universities
and most premier engineering destinations in India, which
was established in 1985 by the Founder Chancellor, Dr. T.R.
Paarivendhar. Now it is functioning in four campuses locat-
ed at Kattankulathur, Vadapalani and Ramapuram in Tamil-
nadu, Modi Nagar in Ghaziabad with over 52,000 students
and 3000 faculty members. It offers a wide range of
programs to students appyling for undergraduate,
post-graduate and doctoral programs in Engineering,
Management, Medicine & Health Sciences, Law and
