Our VisionSRM University will emerge as a leading world-class institution that creates and disseminates knowledge. We uphold the highest standards for instruction in Medicine & Health Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Management and Science & Humanities. Along with academic excellence, our curricula emphasize integrity and cultural sensitivity so that our graduates may best serve the nation and the world.

Our Mission• Create a diverse campus community that inspires freedom and innovation • Strengthen educational processes • Continue to build international alliances • Expand development opportunities available to students and faculty • Cultivate exciting and rigorous research environments

From the Chancellor“Students today are competing in a rapidly changing world. Simply covering the curriculum will not do. At SRM University we equip our graduates with both a first-rate education and the necessary practical skills to ensure that they stand out best in today’s world.”

Mr. T. R. Pachamuthu

A dream brought to reality by a life dedicated to education. The founding chairman of the SRM group, Mr. T.R. Pachamuthu, is first and foremost a teacher. He built an environment, which fosters growth, learning and self-knowledge. We can trace our roots back to 1968, when he first started the Florence Nightingale primary school. This school educates young boys and girls to this day and forms the cornerstone of the SRM group of educational institutions. That same year the chancellor formed the Valliammai Society in honor of his mother, Mrs. R. Valliammai.

Path of progress In 1985, the SRM group opened SRM Engineering College in Kattankulathur. A measure of its success is the short span in which the organization grew and over the next few years numerous SRM centers of learning materialized. A clear indication of the progress made by the organization came in the year 2002, when SRM College of Dentistry was awarded the status of deemed university by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, India. The next year, engineering and later the medical and para-medical colleges of the group were brought under the ambit of SRM Deemed University. The other colleges followed suit in the subsequent years.

The crowning moment SRM attained the status of a full-fledged university, under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. An upgraded syllabus and international teaching methods, designed by SRM’s International Advisory Board (IAB), could be put into practice.

And the saga is just beginning. Whether it’s building a 16-storey IT park or acquiring teaching models from MIT of USA, it’s all happening right here, at SRM University.

Credits to the university • Rated No.2 in placements and ranked within the top 5 institutions in Tamil Nadu by Outlook Magazine • Computer Science Engineering department was rated No.1 for excellence • Five other departments were graded within the top 5 in Tamil Nadu-AC Neilson Impact Study • SRM University is accredited by NAAC with a score equivalent to 5-star rating • Best ISTE Chapter Award in Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry section

The curriculum at SRM University is constantly evolving. The syllabus is kept in tune with industry developments in India and across the world. The Corporate Advisory Board and International Advisory Board regularly review the curriculum and the management is quick to incorporate recommendations by expert panels. This dynamism is reflected in the curriculum’s flexibility.

Understanding the credit based system The flexible credit based system of the university allows students to choose the elective courses of their preference. Credits are allotted per course and students can combine any variation of electives for the year. This helps them to specialize in the areas of their interests and chart the course of their future.

Active learning methodology This upside down model of study challenges students; making them think for themselves. The Active Learning methodology is an internationally accepted learning model and is practiced at SRM University. The School of Mechanical Engineering with the help of Dr. Rohan Abeyaratne and Dr. Ely Sachs of MIT of USA created this platform. MIT has carried out an extensive study in developing necessary kits for the students to learn the fundamentals through the discovery route. Some of the engineering principles that can be discovered through these kits are:� Characteristics of Fluid Flows, Stress-Strain Relations, Thermodynamically Coupled Gaseous Systems, and First Order Rotational System. SRM University too has developed kits that can help students discern the likes of Lami’s theorem, Fourier law, Four-bar mechanism, Friction and Pneumatic speed circuit amongst others.

In the hands of experts Cutting edge learning methods and aids are incorporated in the curriculum. This is mainly because SRM University gives priority to the feedback received from industry leaders, eminent academicians as well as our own students and faculty. Not only that, the curriculum is guided by research experts from the centers of excellence.

Industry institute interaction Industry institute interaction has a great bearing on the engineering curriculum besides giving our students valuable exposure to industrial atmosphere and contributing to their subsequent placement as high value graduates. This interaction is a two way process.The university offers employees of industries, tailor-made continuing education programs in engineering that help them to upgrade their knowledge level.

An On-site Education Development Programme (OEDP) agreement was signed with NOKIA for awarding B. Tech. (ECE), B. Tech. (Mechatronics) for their employees holding diploma. M/s. Heritage Property Private Limited, Chennai is providing financial assistance of Rs. 3 Lakhs for UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) funding for a Delivery-full award in M. Tech. (Sustainable concrete) under collaborative programme by School of Civil Engineering, SRM University with University of Dundee, Scotland, UK. Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS), Chennai signed a MoU for conducting symposiums, workshops, faculty training, visiting faculty scheme, and to conduct “EVOLVE” workshop to enhance employability skills of the students.

On the other hand, companies like Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant offer our students training programs, currently available during their fourth year, which makes them industry ready and reduces their learning curve after recruitment.

Guidance will always be found by students who seek it, at SRM University. The faculty

at SRM University are drawn from the best in India and even around the world. They are

highly qualified and motivated to ensure their students receive the best education they can

get. In fact, the university has ensured that there is 1 faculty member to every 12 students

studying here, compared to the AICTE recommended 1 to every 15 students. So students

receive more individual attention.

An international perspective

International faculty from the US, Canada, Germany and New Zealand teach here. Many of

these faculty are here on long tenures and have a wealth of experience in teaching both

foreign and Indian students.

Future oriented instruction

Many of the faculty members have contacts with the industry and have developed

themselves through interactions and seminars. So they are in tune with industry trends.

The students in turn are taken beyond theory and encouraged to learn through practical

exposure. This form of training ensures that the students are ready to match industry

expectations.

All round development The faculty also share a keen interest in the students’ personality development and help

them gain a healthy thirst for knowledge and a determination to succeed, while retaining

traditional values of discipline, respect and sincerity in all their endeavors. Each faculty

mentors a group of 20 students. The faculty guides each student in their academic as well

as personal lives, throughout the duration of their course.

The management is constantly on the lookout to give students every opportunity for

personal growth. The Semester Abroad Programs (SAP) are a direct result of this. Students

can also find career guidance whether they are in search of higher education, placements

or training. Through a variety of value additions, like the foreign language classes, SRM

University students have every advantage.

Personality development is as critical as academic excellence. So a structured personality

development program has been instituted throughout the course of a student‘s study.

Through psychometric tests, students’ character traits are analyzed and they are nurtured

accordingly. Character development, life skills, etiquette are some of the areas that a

student can develop on. Yoga classes that maintain a person’s mind and body fitness are

organized. These activities are seamlessly integrated into the credit based system and

contribute toward a students graduation.

Backed by a responsive management

Student feedback is a critical measure of the university’s performance. There is a

credible student and faculty feedback as well as redressal system in place, which gauges

performances on a yearly basis. Students can also access the feedback system online.

With round the clock security and helpful ground staff, students can concentrate on their

academic pursuits in a safe and secure environment. The management is quick to step in

to address student concerns and their well being is given paramount importance.

Corporate Advisory Board (CAB)A unique platform, connecting over 150 industries from across the country, the CAB brings students face to face with senior managers, vice-presidents, chairmen and the top management of leading companies in the industry. Working in partnership with industry helps students and faculty gain a broader view and the expertise to live and work in a global context. The board also works along with the university’s academicians and plays a key role in keeping the engineering and management programs in tune with industry trends.

Education in the future should work closely with industry in formulating academic and research agendas. Our greatest challenge in this regard is to develop, in our students and faculties, the attitudes as well as the aptitudes needed to translate new knowledge from research to practical ends, transforming the way we live.

I feel great to share with you that Agrim and I have started working on project Mars Gravity - a five week space mission to observe the effect of micro gravity on mammals. Having spent a semester at MIT, this was a once in a life time opportunity of getting hands-on experience on a project backed by NASA.

Sahil Maheshwari, MIT, USA

All 17 of us find the interdisciplinary research here to be tremendous and awe-inspiring. We have had the opportunities to interact with a vast majority of leaders in major fields of Sciences and Engineering. This has immensely expanded our knowledge and boosted our academic profiles. This should aid us towards reaching our ultimate goals of obtaining graduate admissions with scholarships and funding.

Extending a humanitarian touchSaving lives comes naturally for those belonging to the SRM medical corps. Both the Ramapuram and the Kattankulathur

campus possess some outstanding medical facilities manned by expert medical personnel. They are at hand to treat

maladies ranging from minor injuries to trauma and have a host of specialized departments linked to the medical college.

So as a student you will be exposed to some of the best healthcare training you can receive.

SRM Medical College Hospital, Kattankulathur This 750-bed hospital houses a wide spectrum of medical specialties and subspecialties. The staff tends to 1,000

patients daily. Employees from such corporates as Carborundum Universal, TATA and Johnson Controls Automotive seek

treatment, along with people from all over Kancheepuram. Many patients have the benefit of insurance cover via tie-ups

with TTK Health Care, Health India and others. Some key features are:�

• Round the clock experienced hospital staff of 270 doctors, nurses and paramedics

• Largest blood bank in the state

• Multiple state of the art emergency care units designed in consultation with Partners HealthCare

• Ambulance services available 24/7

General Hospital, Ramapuram This multi-specialty facility ensures that high quality, affordable healthcare reaches the community. Hospital services

include special clinics, counseling, and courses in wellness and life skills. It has links with other city hospitals so that

students receive optimal exposure during clinical training. Top of the line facilities include:�

• 300 beds and round the clock emergency services

• Well-stocked pharmacy

• Excellent post-operative care

• High tech operation theater complex

• Modern computerized laboratories functioning round the clock

• X-ray unit and other investigation facilities

Healthcare that creates bonds The Medical & Health Sciences colleges regularly coordinate camps and awareness drives in nearby villages. Students,

staff and faculty screen and treat as many people as possible. They dispense free medicine and treatment, and visit

schools to conduct pre-emptive screenings and to teach basic health awareness to children.

In September 2006, the Cardiology Department sprung into action on a day observed in countries across the world

by asking the question, ÒHow young is your heart?Ó Around 280 students from the Neelan Matriculation School at

Guduvancheri literally took this question to heart as our students and staff conducted cardiac screenings. The students

were also involved in classes and workshops that taught the ins and outs of cardiac disease prevention.

Reaching out to the community SRM University has opened many primary healthcare facilities throughout the city and in villages surrounding Chennai

where our students gain valuable experience. One group of centers caters to 526 families in 3 villages around

Maraimalai Nagar and 9 villages near Mamandur. Center staff direct patients who require more sophisticated secondary

and tertiary medical care to hospitals. Here are some of the key services the centers provide:�

• Outpatient care & referral

• Primary immunization

• Antenatal, delivery & postnatal care

• Clinics for children under five

• Educating schoolchildren about general health, conducting screenings for cardiac ailments and infectious diseases,

and giving dental and general health checkups

• Family welfare checkups followed by field visits

Breaking away from the routineThe pressures of a highly demanding curriculum can get to even the best of students. This is the time to mix with other students in the same boat as you. SRM University attracts students from a variety of backgrounds, from around the country and overseas. The cosmopolitan environment is filled with opportunity, to learn and understand other cultures and languages.

Association & clubs There are a number of clubs that a new student entering the campus can choose from. As varied as one’s interests, they include yoga, meditation, community service, music, debate, poetry, literature and many others. The photography club, the literary club and the mathematics club are some of the most popular ones as many students find common ground. Images SRM conducts training programs regularly on various areas of photography, film processing, animation, editing and mixing, and shooting documentaries.

Recreation Students can take time out from rigorous training and keep fit by taking advantage of the well-equipped gymnasium or through yoga. Professionals are at hand to help students if needed. Swimming to relieve stress or a brisk canter on a horse are popular activities amongst the peers. The campus also features an outdoor jogging track and cycling range.

Athletics & sports You will find open grounds and all the facilities that an athlete could wish for. Coaches guide budding players, and exceptional student athletes receive cash incentives and sponsorships. With a rich crop of state and national level players, we have received many laurels over the years. Our Men’s Cricket team, number one in all of Tamil Nadu, represents the state in the Ranji Trophy tournament. Men’s Intra-University Basketball is number one in India; women’s Intra-University Basketball places second. The university started organizing and sponsoring athletic events in 2005 with the SRM Junior National Athletics Championship held at Nehru stadium in Chennai in 2006, SRM University hosted both the South India and the All-India Intra-University Men’s Basketball tournaments on the Kattankulathur campus. The SRM All-India Volleyball tournament followed in March 2007 and the SRM All-India Professional Boxing Championship in July 2007. You can look forward to many more events on this dynamic campus.

Aarush ‘07: An enthralling first This one of a kind four-day annual technological festival was enthralling by the sheer number of the participants from leading universities and engineering colleges. Former President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam graced the symposium on the second day and stirred the gathering with his address. From distinguished guest lectures by eminent experts in the various fields of science and technology to workshops and events, Aarush ‘07 allowed students and members of academe to brush heads at the highest level.

The events organized by the university were the highlight of the symposium. From robot modeling to junkyard wars, gaming championships to DJ wars, the event was a celebration of talent and skill.

Hi-tech auditorium Former president Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Tamil Nadu Governor, Hon.
