Institutional entrance examination for eligible SRM engineering programs.
Who can appear
Eligibility to appear
Physics and Mathematics with the additional subject and marks specified for the selected B.Tech program. Confirm accepted boards, year-of-passing, attempts and campus/program requirements in the current SRM admission rules.
Eligibility to appear is not the same as eligibility to be admitted. Individual institutions add their own criteria on top of the exam's rules.
Overview
What this exam is
The entrance examination for undergraduate engineering at the SRM Institute of Science and Technology campuses. It is offered in multiple phases through the admission season and the best performance is considered.
Subjects
What the paper tests
Physics, chemistry and mathematics or biology, with additional sections on English and aptitude. The standard follows the Class 11 and 12 syllabus closely and is less demanding than the national engineering tests.
PreparationPlan
How to prepare
Board preparation transfers almost directly, so this needs little separate study for anyone already preparing for the national tests. Use the multiple phases deliberately - an early attempt tells you where you stand with time left to improve. Campus and branch are allocated by rank, and the differences between campuses are worth researching before you accept a seat.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I take it more than once?
It runs in multiple phases through the admission season and the best performance is considered, so an early attempt is a low-cost way to see where you stand with time left to improve.
How hard is it compared with the national tests?
Less demanding. It follows the Class 11 and 12 syllabus closely, so board and national-entrance preparation transfers directly with little additional study.
Does the campus matter?
Yes - campuses differ in programmes, facilities and placement outcomes, and rank determines which you can access. Research them before counselling rather than treating the institution as a single entity.
Are English and aptitude sections included?
Yes, alongside the science papers. They are straightforward but candidates who ignore them lose marks that are easier to gain than equivalent marks in physics or mathematics.
