made operational for E&T • Online examinations conducted for Personality
Development Courses.
Impetuous to academic research
• 63 papers in international journals and 19 in national journals have been published.
• 200 PhD scholars have enrolled.
Part-Time Programmes
• Considering the prevailing demand for quality technical education, week-end part- time UG/PG programmes under the Faculty of Engineering & Technology for the benefit of the needy residing in and around Chennai are being conducted.
Semester Abroad Program
• In order to enable the more talented and more competent of students to enhance their knowledge by competing with the best in the world a ‘Semester Abroad Programme’ has been launched which would see around 50 students every year from SRM University sponsored to undergo a semester of study in the reputed universities abroad located in countries like USA, UK and France.

Plan of action Outcome
Faculty Abroad Program
• Under the Faculty Abroad Program (FAP), SRM sends faculty members to foreign universities for a tenure ranging from 2-3 weeks to one year. The short tenure can be for studying their curricula, teaching methodology, laboratory practices and other academic activities of that university. The experience gained through this study can be shared with SRM to add value to the academic practices at SRM. The longer tenure can be for research activities.
Faculty from Abroad in SRM
University
• To make the campus environment truly international, visiting professors from foreign universities like USA, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, Australia etc have been recruited. This provides ample opportunities for both the students and faculty members to enrich their knowledge and skills to international standards and undertake joint research. SRM has in its employment around 6 visiting professors from foreign universities.
• These visiting professors stay on-campus and SRM provides all facilities for pursuing their research. Their contribution will be in the form of enhancing the academic structure and environment, motivating and assisting in research activities and bringing in international flavour to SRM’s pursuit of excellence.
