SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) Chennai KTR campus gives B.Tech admission through SRMJEEE counselling based on your rank, preferred branch, and seat availability.
For SRMJEEE 2026, the KTR campus is expected to be the most competitive among all SRM campuses, especially for CSE and AI-related branches. Cutoffs may change in each counselling phase depending on exam difficulty, number of students, and demand for branches.
Based on recent trends, CSE Core and top specialisations are likely to fill quickly in Phase 1, while later rounds may have seats mainly in lower-demand branches and specialisations.

These expected cutoffs are based on student allotment trends and analysis.
According to a discussion on Reddit, a student with a rank of 4,300 successfully secured admission to CSE Core at SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) main campus during the first counselling round. Several other students reported receiving CSE Core at the main campus with ranks ranging from approximately 9,400 to as high as 17,000, while CSE AI/ML was allotted around 4,600-4,800. These outcomes surprised many applicants, as prevailing discussions on the subreddit had suggested that exceptionally high ranks were required for core CSE or that specialisations such as AI/ML and Data Science were safer choices. Consequently, some students with ranks in the 3,000-4,000 range opted for specialisations out of caution and later expressed regret. Overall, the thread indicates that cutoffs for CSE Core at SRM’s main KTR campus were considerably more flexible in this counselling round than commonly anticipated.
