Among the greatest strengths of institutions of higher learning is the importance given to peer interaction. University education must ensure free exchange of cultures and ideas which help broaden one's outlook and attitude towards fellow human beings and go a long way in fulfilling the
ideal of one world with multiple cultures.

As most reputed universities do, every effort, has been made at SRM to attract students from Tamilnadu and other states of India and also from South East Asia, Asia Pacific, Australia, Europe, America and Africa.
 

Another such collaboration agreement has been reached between the SRM Engineering College and Tata Information Systems Limited on behalf of their principals - IBM of Texas, USA. Under this agreement, an Integrated Electronics Competence Centre (IECC) has been set up at the College Computer Centre. Negotiations are on with several other universities in Europe, North America, Canada, USA and Australia for reciprocal exchange that is, students from abroad coming to attend programmes at SRM institutions and students from SRM in turn travelling to these countries to pursue their higher studies.
 

Chairman with Foreign Delegates

Students in the final semesters of their respective degree programmes interact with the International Programme Advisors at SRM and with senior members of the faculty to plan their post-graduate studies in India and abroad. SRM has planned to establish an International Centre at Chennai to serve as an information centre for persons planning to go abroad for higher studies, business ventures and industrial collaborations as well as for cultural programmes in fine arts, music and dance and for leisure. The Centre will also provide opportunities for interaction between citizens of different countries of the world and between different cultures of each continent.
