Dear candidate ,
With a rank of 77 in SRMJEEE ( PG ) Phase 3 , you have an excellent chance of getting admission into the M. Tech Data Science program at SRM Kattankulathur ( Main campus ) .
Cutoffs for this specialization usually go up to 6000 - 8000 , so your rank is well within the safe range. Just prioritize it during counselling and complete the admission process on time .

With a rank of 98 in SRMJEEE (PG) Phase 3, you have a very high chance of getting admission into the M.Tech Embedded Systems Technology course at SRM University, Kattankulathur (main campus).

Usually, ranks below 100 are more than enough for this course. Embedded Systems is a good and competitive branch, but your rank is well within the expected cutoff range.

You should wait for the official counselling result. If you are offered a seat, complete the admission process by paying the fees and uploading your documents.

For more information, you can check the official course page and admission details here:

Different colleges have different ranks for scholarships. In case of most colleges of SRM, the scholarship is for ranks under 150, but in case of SRM Tiruchirappalli, the last rank of scholarship is 6523, and according to the rank 2562, the rank-based scholarship is 15 per cent for students from all 12 std. boards



To get CSE at SRM Delhi-NCR (Sonepat) campus through SRMJEEE, your rank should be around 14,000 to 15,500. This campus has slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to the main Chennai campus, which typically closes CSE around 9,000 or lower. So, a rank under 15,000 gives you a good chance for CSE at the Delhi campus.
