CSE, ECE, EEE, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Medical Electronics are offered under B.E. The B.Tech option is IT. Students pursuing M.E. may choose Computer Science and Engineering, VLSI Design, Power Electronics and Drives, Structural Engineering, Thermal Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering.

SREC Admission Process

SREC uses different admission routes for undergraduate engineering, lateral-entry, postgraduate engineering and management courses. Class 12 PCM merit decides regular B.E./B.Tech selection, while diploma marks, GATE, TANCET, CAT, MAT or CMAT apply to other routes as specified below.

B.E./B.Tech Admission

An entrance test is not needed for regular B.E./B.Tech admission. Anna University conducts the TNEA process, which prepares the selection order entirely from Class 12 Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics marks.

1. For the government quota, which covers 65% of seats, students need at least 50% in PCM for OC, 45% for BC and 40% for SC/ST.
2. Eligible government-quota applicants must register through TNEA centralised counselling at tneaonline.org and take part in seat allotment.
3. The remaining 35% of seats fall under the management quota. The eligibility rules remain the same, but applications are submitted directly at srec.ac.in. No capitation or donation fee is documented.
4. For entry into the second year of B.E., applicants need a relevant engineering diploma with at least 50% marks. DOTE lateral-entry counselling handles selection.

TNEA calculates merit by assigning 50% weight to Mathematics and the other 50% weight jointly to Physics and Chemistry. For OC applicants, SREC’s TNEA Round 1 cutoff rank in 2026 was between 25,215 and 37,405. CSE and IT attracted the strongest demand.

M.E. and MBA Admission

1. M.E. applicants must hold a B.E./B.Tech degree in the relevant branch with at least 50% marks. The minimum is 45% for reserved categories. Selection through Anna University’s TANCA counselling is based on a GATE score or TANCET rank.
2. MBA applicants need any bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% marks. TANCET scores are used for government-quota seats. For direct management-quota admission, SREC also accepts CAT, MAT and CMAT scores.

SREC Placements

In 2024, the undergraduate placement drive produced a highest offer of INR 24 LPA and an average salary of INR 5.4 LPA. Out of a batch of 993 students, 858 were placed, resulting in an 86% placement rate.

The average package rose over each of the three placement years shown below.

Most offers are made for IT and core engineering positions. More than 300 companies participate in the yearly recruitment drives. Recruiters include Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, HCL Technologies, L&T Infotech, Tata Elxsi, Mahindra, Amazon, IBM, Capgemini, PayPal and MindTree. Among postgraduate students in 2024, 34 of 56 secured placements, and the highest package was INR 5 LPA.

SREC Rankings

NIRF placed SREC in the 151-200 band for Engineering in both 2025 and 2024. The institution also has a NAAC A+ grade with a CGPA of 3.27. Selected courses carry NBA accreditation under SREC’s autonomous framework with Anna University.

NAAC assesses the institution as a whole across areas such as teaching, research and infrastructure. NBA accreditation separately confirms the quality standards of the engineering programmes for which it has been awarded.

SREC Campus and Infrastructure

SREC’s 25-acre campus is situated at Nava India, Coimbatore. It contains separate academic buildings for departments, advanced computing labs, digital classrooms, innovation centres and an AI research hub. The ECE and CSE departments also have project-based laboratories used for final-year research.

On-campus accommodation is provided separately for male and female students. Hostel charges can be as high as INR 60,000 per year. From Nava India, students can use Coimbatore’s transport links and reach the city’s established textile and engineering industrial belt.

SREC Scholarships

Financial support at SREC includes state and Central government schemes as well as merit-based help from the college. Eligibility and benefits differ across the available programmes.

Tamil Nadu welfare scholarships administered through the Social Welfare Department are also open to eligible OBC, MBC and BC students. Applications for most Central government schemes are submitted through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in.

SREC vs PSG College of Technology vs Kongu Engineering College

SREC in Coimbatore, PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore and Kongu Engineering College in Erode are autonomous engineering institutions affiliated with Anna University. Since all three admit students from the common TNEA applicant pool, they are often compared by Tamil Nadu engineering applicants.

With a history of more than 70 years and deeper links to Coimbatore industries, PSG College of Technology has a better NIRF position and a higher placement average. Compared with Kongu Engineering College, SREC reports a higher NAAC grade and stronger placement numbers. SREC is also nearer Coimbatore city. Kongu Engineering College remains an option for students from the Erode and western Tamil Nadu region who want a similar TNEA-based admission route.
