Which is better? cusat or srm Chennai

Before making any decision, you need to check the key differences between the two:

CUSAT is a central government-funded university whereas SRM is a deemed university. While comparing both the universities is difficult, the CUSAT CAT is a very tough entrance exam somewhat closer to JEE Mains/Advance.

CUSAT has got only two campuses out of which SOE (School of Engineering) is considered to be the priority institution for the students aspiring admission in CUSAT and the curriculum is at par with IITs/NITs.

• The fees at CUSAT are quite affordable to middle-class groups whereas SRM is a bit costly.
• In CUSAT, other government reservations and relaxations are available for the socially weaker sections as compared to the private universities.
• The campus is fairly good with good facilities. Also, it isn’t really a spoon-feeding institution. Internship/industrial training at good MNCs is possible with student/faculty joint effort.
• Placements are also plausibly good with good remuneration if not so high.

SRM has comparatively more seats in different disciplines of UG level.

• It has a total of 6 campuses and one more has come up in Maharashtra in 2017.
• The campus is vast with good facilities and a cosmopolitan environment.
• Also, selected students get a chance to visit foreign universities under their Semester Abroad Programme and their placement records are interesting. The admission in SRM is based on the entrance merit/affordability of students.

Hence, the overall development of the students in Govt funded colleges, packages V/s the cost of study are the other parameters while selecting between a Govt University or a self-financed deemed university.
