SRM Institute of Science and Technology

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

As of June 2026, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur (Chennai) is in the middle of its second admission window for the academic year 2026-2027. The single most pressing point on the calendar right now is the SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 2 result and its counselling, while a fresh Phase 3 window remains open for late applicants. The bullets below track every live action item for an SRM aspirant.

• SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 2 slot booking opened on June 6, 2026, with the last date to book a slot being June 7, 2026. Booking was done through the candidate login on the official SRMIST portal.
• SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 2 exam was held June 10-15, 2026 in online remote-proctored mode (candidates appeared from home on a webcam-enabled laptop/desktop).
• SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 2 result was declared on June 22, 2026 (in line with the admin-confirmed expectation of a late-June 2026 result).
• Phase 2 counselling/choice filling is open from June 24 to June 26, 2026, with seat allotment expected on June 30, 2026.
• SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 is scheduled for July 4-5, 2026; registration for Phase 3 is still open (last date as per the conducting body's notification), giving applicants who missed Phase 1 and Phase 2 a final opportunity for 2026 B.Tech admission.
• Application fee for SRMJEEE is ₹1,400 per phase (non-refundable), as of June 2026.

If you are applying now, your realistic route into the 2026 batch is Phase 3 (exam July 4-5, 2026). If you already sat Phase 2, your immediate task is to complete choice filling between June 24 and June 26, 2026 and watch for the June 30, 2026 seat allotment.

SRM Institute of Science and Technology Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at SRM Institute of Science and Technology is programme-specific: an engineering aspirant needs Physics and Mathematics in Class 12, a medical aspirant needs Biology plus a NEET UG qualification, and a law aspirant only needs a 10+2 pass with 50%. The table below answers the most common SRM eligibility question - "what marks and which exam do I need for my course?" - by mapping each major programme to its qualifying exam, minimum aggregate, and accepted entrance test. Read it row by row against the course you want; the "Qualifying Marks" column is the floor you must clear in your Class 12 or graduation subjects, and the "Accepted Entrance Exam" column tells you which test SRM will use to rank you. All figures are for the 2026-2027 admission cycle.

The key takeaway for 2026 is that SRM's flagship B.Tech needs PCM with a 50-60% aggregate and a valid SRMJEEE or JEE Main score, while both medical programmes (MBBS and BDS) are gated strictly by NEET UG - SRM cannot admit you to MBBS or BDS without a NEET qualification, regardless of your board marks. Law programmes are the most accessible on paper (a 50% 10+2 pass plus SRMJEEL or CLAT), and BCA/MCA at SRM run on merit rather than a dedicated entrance test. Confirm your subject combination matches the row above before paying any application fee, because eligibility errors are the most common reason SRM rejects a candidate at document verification.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This section tells you, as of June 2026, which SRM programmes are still accepting applications and how each one selects students. The table pairs every major programme with its current application status, its entrance route, and the mode of admission so you can see at a glance whether you can still apply this cycle. The most time-sensitive entry below is B.Tech, where the SRMJEEE Phase 3 window (exam July 4-5, 2026) is the last on-time route into the 2026 batch. Seat counts at SRM are large but vary year to year and are not published as a single fixed figure per branch, so read the "Seats" column as an indicative scale rather than a guaranteed number, and verify the exact intake for your chosen campus and branch in the official 2026 prospectus.

The practical takeaway is that B.Tech, M.Tech, nursing, MBA, law, BCA/MCA, B.Pharm and B.Arch are all still actionable for the 2026 intake, whereas MBBS and BDS depend entirely on your NEET UG result and the NMC/DCI counselling calendar. If you want B.Tech this year, register for SRMJEEE Phase 3 immediately - it is the final phase before the July 4-5, 2026 exam. For merit-based courses like BCA and MCA, your Class 12 or graduation percentage is the deciding factor, so there is no separate exam to prepare for, only documents to keep ready.

Application Fees

It is important to separate two very different payments when you apply to SRM Institute of Science and Technology. The first is the entrance/application fee you pay to the conducting body (for SRMJEEE this is ₹1,400 per phase, non-refundable as of June 2026); the second is the institute's tuition/programme fee you pay only after a seat is allotted (for B.Tech this ranges from ₹10,00,000 to ₹19,00,000 for the full course depending on branch and campus). The table below lists the SRMJEEE application fee category by category so there is no ambiguity. SRMJEEE charges a single uniform application fee for all candidates and does not publish separate reduced fees for OBC-NCL, SC, ST or PwD applicants, so where a category fee is not separately notified that is stated explicitly rather than assumed. Read this as the cost of sitting the exam, not the cost of studying at SRM.

The clear takeaway is that SRMJEEE's ₹1,400 application fee is charged uniformly to every category as of June 2026, and it is payable separately for each phase you appear in - so a candidate who sits both Phase 2 and Phase 3 pays ₹1,400 twice. This fee is non-refundable even if you do not appear or do not get a seat. Do not confuse it with SRM's tuition fee: a B.Tech seat at SRM costs between ₹10,00,000 and ₹19,00,000 for the full four years depending on the branch you are allotted, and that is payable only after seat allotment during counselling.

Entrance Exam Requirements

SRM Institute of Science and Technology runs its own family of entrance exams (SRMJEEE for engineering, SRMJEEM for management, SRMJEEL for law, SRMHCET for health sciences) while also accepting national tests such as JEE Main, NEET UG, GATE, CAT and NATA depending on the programme. The table below maps each accepted exam to the programme it feeds, its 2026 exam date, and the kind of score or rank that is realistically competitive for the sought-after Kattankulathur campus. Use the "Typical Qualifying Score" column as a guide to how hard you must push: for a top SRM CSE seat you want an SRMJEEE rank well inside the top tier, whereas branches with lower demand admit at considerably wider ranks. All exam dates are for the 2026 cycle and reflect the conducting body's published schedule as of June 2026.

The takeaway is that SRMJEEE remains the primary and most flexible route into SRM B.Tech because it is held in three phases (Phase 2 on June 10-15, 2026 and Phase 3 on July 4-5, 2026), letting you re-attempt and improve your rank within the same admission year. JEE Main is accepted as an alternative for B.Tech, but if you have not sat JEE Main, SRMJEEE Phase 3 is your on-time path. For MBBS and BDS there is no SRM-specific exam at all - your NEET UG result is the sole entrance qualification, so plan accordingly.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

Cutoffs at SRM Institute of Science and Technology are expressed as SRMJEEE closing ranks, and they differ sharply by branch and by campus - the Kattankulathur (KTR) main campus closes at the toughest ranks, especially for Computer Science. The table below tracks the general-category closing ranks for the most-demanded B.Tech branches at KTR across 2024, 2025 and the expected band for 2026, so you can judge how competitive your rank needs to be. The 2026 figures are marked as expected because they depend on Phase 3 results that are not yet final as of June 2026; treat them as a planning band, not a guarantee. We are presenting only the general/base closing ranks we can verify; SRM does not publish a single fixed category-wise relaxation percentage, so we are not stating SC/ST/OBC closing ranks rather than risk a wrong figure.

The clear trend is stability with a slight tightening at the top: CSE core at KTR has held near a 12,000 closing rank across 2024 and 2025, while CSE (AI & ML) has marginally tightened from about 16,000 in 2024 to about 15,000 in 2025 as demand for AI specialisations rises. This is why the expected 2026 band stays in the same zone - SRM's KTR CSE seats are consistently the most competitive because of the campus's placement record (over 650 recruiters, a highest package near ₹57 LPA). The practical reading: aim for an SRMJEEE rank inside the top 12,000 for core CSE at KTR, and remember that non-CSE branches and the other SRM campuses admit at considerably wider ranks, giving you a fallback if your rank is outside the CSE band.

Counselling Process

SRM Institute of Science and Technology conducts SRMJEEE counselling phase-wise and online, immediately after each phase's result. For the current Phase 2 cycle (result declared June 22, 2026), the choice-filling window is June 24-26, 2026 with seat allotment expected June 30, 2026; Phase 3 counselling will follow its July 4-5, 2026 exam. The step-by-step flow is:

1. Result and rank card (Phase 2: June 22, 2026): Log in to the SRMIST portal with your SRMJEEE application number and password and download your rank card.
2. Counselling registration / choice filling (Phase 2: June 24-26, 2026): Review the list of available campuses and B.Tech programmes, then add your preferred campus-plus-branch combinations in order of priority.
3. Lock and submit choices: Verify your preferences on the summary page and lock them before the June 26, 2026 deadline; un-submitted choices are not considered for allotment.
4. Seat allotment (Phase 2: expected June 30, 2026): Seats are allotted on the basis of your SRMJEEE rank and the preferences you filled.
5. Fee payment: Pay the seat-acceptance/admission fee within the stipulated window to confirm the allotted seat.
6. Document verification: Report (online or at the allotted campus) with all original documents and the counselling fee; the seat is finalised only after successful verification.

Keep your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, SRMJEEE rank card, photo ID, transfer/migration certificate and passport-size photographs ready before counselling opens, because the choice-filling window is short and document mismatches at verification can cost you the seat. If you are appearing in Phase 3, the same sequence repeats after the July 4-5, 2026 exam.

Important Dates (2026)

This master table consolidates every canonical milestone of the SRMJEEE 2026 cycle - from application start to document verification - with its date and current status as of June 2026. It is the single calendar an SRM aspirant should bookmark, because missing any one of these (especially the choice-filling lock date) can push you out of the current phase. The dates below are anchored to the SRMJEEE Phase 2 schedule, which is the live window right now, with Phase 3 milestones noted where they apply. Where an exact date is not yet notified by the conducting body, the event is still listed with its status rather than dropped, so you can see what is pending. Read the "Status" column to know what has already happened versus what is still ahead of you.

The two dates that matter most to you right now are June 26, 2026 (last day of Phase 2 choice filling) and July 4-5, 2026 (Phase 3 exam). If you sat Phase 2, lock your choices before June 26, 2026 and watch for the June 30, 2026 allotment; if you are a new applicant, register and prepare for the Phase 3 exam, which is the final scheduled SRMJEEE round for the 2026 intake. Always cross-check the exact correction-window and answer-key dates on the official SRMIST notification, as these are the events most often announced at short notice.
