For project work and viva-voce in the 8th semester, the maximum marks are 200, of which 100 are for the thesis/dissertation and 100 for the viva-voce.

Interaction with the Industry

The Institution has effected tie-ups with a number of companies and has identified various areas of mutual benefit. For instance, the Department of Mechanical Engineering organised a programme for training craftsmen of Rane Power Steering Ltd. In the Machine Shop and conducted six-week training courses for the employees of Mahindra Ford Ltd. During Oct. - Dec. 98. The Maraimalai Nagar industrial area situated close to the college has a great number of large and medium-size industries. Discussions have been initiated with them for several such programmes.
 

In-plant

Training at SRM, practical training is given as much importance as theory. In order to relate effectively with their academic learning, tie-ups have been arranged with industrial giants for our students to undergo special summer and winter training. The final year engineering students are encouraged to take up their project work in industries to have practical exposure to industrial applications.

Career Counselling and Higher Education

Despite the fact that qualified and trained engineers are in demand in the industry, it has been observed that graduate engineers are very often uncertain on how to build their careers. Career counsellors have been nominated to offer the students vocational guidance. Many wish to pursue their studies abroad as well but are unaware as to how to go about it. Our counsellors are well-versed in the various formalities and procedures as well as in matters regarding qualifying examinations such as GATE, GRE, GMAT, IES, TOEFL and so on. Many a student owes his or her advancement in higher education to the assistance, information, advice and guidance received from the counsellors at SRM.
