Testimonials
"Coming to Warwick as a part of the Dual Degree Programme was perhaps the best decision I ever made! I shall be getting both my B.Tech and M.Sc degrees in just 4 years, ahead of my peers. And, we will be allowed to work 2 years after graduation here. Warwick has the best research labs and many eminent scientists - and has opened up exciting opportunities for SRMites."

The Semester Abroad Program has greatly helped me improve and sharpen not just my academic skills but has also benefited my future career prospects and has given me the right direction to streamline my efforts. Getting accepted for Masters in Computer Science at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, after completing a year as a Transfer Student is a great example in itself for the success of the Semester Abroad Program at SRMIST. Also, Being offered a Project Assistant ship position this Summer'09 to Financially Support my Studies and gain Knowledge with Research, amounts to the Huge Success of SAP
