With an AP EAMCET rank of 21,000 in the OC category, it is highly unlikely to get a CSE seat at SRM University AP. In previous years, the closing rank for CSE at SRM AP was generally below 4,000 for open category candidates. You may consider applying for other branches or explore CSE in mid-tier private colleges where the cutoff extends beyond 20,000.

With your AP EAPCET rank of 21,459, you can get admission in SRM University, AP. In 2024, students with ranks up to 35,000 got seats in CSE and other branches at SRM AP. So with your rank, you have a good chance to get CSE, ECE, or IT in this university, especially in later rounds of counselling.

You should register for the counselling, choose SRM University AP and select CSE or other related branches. If you don’t get CSE in the first round, you may get it in the second or third round.

Hello,

Depending on the campus and particular program, you may a decent probability of being accepted into SRM University with a rank of 4000 in SRMJEEE phase 3, maybe in computer Science engineering or other well like the disciplines. Despite the intense competition, if you are flexible with the campus and your rank falls within arrange, you still have a good chance of getting into CSE.

Hello,

Holding an AP EAMCET rank of 817 positions you favorably to obtain a seat in a reputable engineering branch at SRM University, Andhra Pradesh (Amaravati campus). According to the closing ranks from previous years, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) typically has closing ranks ranging from 390 to 4,904 (general category). Your position of 817 falls well within this range, indicating a strong likelihood of admission to the CSE program in the initial round of counselling.

Likewise, fields such as Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) possess closing ranks that exceed your standing. As a result, you can confidently anticipate acceptance into the leading branches, particularly CSE, at SRM AP during the forthcoming counselling session.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

Between VIT Chennai and SRM Kattankulathur for Electronics Engineering with VLSI specialisation, VIT Chennai is generally better in terms of:

• Placements: VIT has a slightly better placement record, especially for core electronics and VLSI roles.

• Core companies: More core and semiconductor companies like Intel, NXP, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments tend to visit VIT (mostly Vellore, but some do come to Chennai as well).

• Reputation: VIT has better industry recognition and alumni network in the core field.

So, if you are focused on VLSI and core job roles, VIT Chennai is a better option than SRM Kattankulathur .

Hope it helps !

Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations! You have multiple admission options!! Here is a short comparison to help you decide:

• SRM Ramapuram : Good brand value for placement opportunities - placement is the most positive area for the university. Ramapuram is a smaller campus and typically, has more of an industry focus compared to the Kattankulathur campus.
• LPU Jalandhar: Modern campus with national diversity, they boast good placements in CSE/IT, moderate ECE, and not as core focused. Fees are heavier than your other options and Jalandhar is also more distance from Tamil Nadu.
• Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) : Good name in Tamil Nadu as a part of Anna University. More geared to ECE core learning with affordable fees, better placement at the local level, and less distance.  Probably represents a more stable option for you if you are likely to be TNEA based and expect a long-term outcome.

If you value core ECE, want to be in Tamil Nadu, then Rajalakshmi Engineering College is a solid options. If however, you have an interest in attending a private university with more academics that are flexible and prepared to relocate: SRM Ramapuram is also an option.

Here are the AP EAMCET 2025 Round 1 closing ranks for B.Tech in Civil Engineering at SRM University Andhra Pradesh (Amaravati) in the General category:

• The highest closing rank reported is 12,866

For context, here are the previous trends:

• In 2024, Civil Engineering closed between 7,465 and 10,304 (https://collegedunia.com/university/58597-srm-university-amaravathi/ap-eapcet-2024-cutoff?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

• In 2023, the closing rank reached approximately 15,657

Hello Shivanshu,

In summary, both SRM University AP & Graphic Era University are decent choices for you, however make sure to weigh up placement, faculty, peer group, research options and fees as deciding factors.

• SRM University AP for 90% scholarship is definitely value for money. While it is a new campus, it has solid industry partnerships with many opportunities for global exposure and research (ecosystem partners like UC Berkeley, MITx, etc). Their infrastructure is also very good.
• Graphic Era is a more established university with good placements, most notably in core CSE and IT based branches. Peer competition can sometimes make it feel more grounded and is more consistent.
