History of SRM Group of Institutions

Chairman’s Message

Greetings and a very warm welcome to the SRMIST Vadapalani campus.
Stellar accomplishments expand the frontiers of knowledge and scholarship every day. In this era of globalisation in education, the obvious focus is on the quality of education. A good educational institution strives continuously for sustenance and enhancement of quality in every field of its activity. As SRM works diligently to realise its mission of providing the best learning, teaching and research opportunities to students and academicians alike, it continues to provide students with the basics of modern knowledge and high values. The research activities of our faculty lead to an extraordinary enrichment of the experiences of our students, which is realised at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The research training provided to our graduate students creates the next generation of scholars well-prepared to advance knowledge and transfer technology.

Dr. Ravi Pachamuthu

Chairman
SRM Group of Institutions

The extension of research opportunities to an ever-increasing group of undergraduate students adds a dimension of experience to undergraduate education that simply cannot be duplicated in the classroom. Our students learn the joy as well as the rigours of new discovery and acquire skills of inquiry, evaluation, and communication that provide a foundation for the next phases of their careers and lives. Our placement cell is committed to providing all possible assistance to the students to get the best employment opportunities; we also inculcate the skills of budding entrepreneurs. Sports and cultural activities are encouraged to enable the students to showcase their talents in national and international competitions. SRMIST Vadapalani stands committed to the practice of academic freedom and encourages cultural diversity as it continues to attract students and faculty domestically, regionally and internationally. SRM is a top-tier institute in India that boasts a culture of academic excellence, scientific breakthroughs, and high-tech innovation. As chairman of the institution, I anticipate the full participation and cooperation of the students and parents to make it possible for us to transform dreams into reality and join us in our endeavour to actively contribute to the overall improvement of society.
