4th year starts with a tension of getting placed earlier only if you are sitting for the placements as few of them pursue higher studies. The company starts coming in the month of July – August . In the last week of July or 1st week of August the college will start a 1 month training for non-coding branches to gain some knowledge about programming so that students can qualify the coding exams of IT companies. This training is also important because 90% of the companies coming for recruitment in SRM are IT companies. So give full attention to this training and trust me guys this training is very beneficial for all the students. Simultaneously, the classes will also go on in your campus but the students attending the training will get full OD for it so no worries of attendance guys.
The students of various branches of SRM also comes to the KTR campus for the placements and they are accommodated in SRM hostels or BEL building. Nothing will be reduced in the 4th year infact the work pressure and load will increase as you have to manage the academics also without attending the classes for 1 month and you have to sit for the placement exams also. Some of the days are such that you have to sit twice or thrice for the placement exams as many companies comes to the college on the same day. So this all happens in 7th semester.
After the semester exams the college announce for holidays but the companies still come to college for placements so most of the students stay back and don’t go home. Then comes the last semester i.e 8th semester. Placement continues but 80% of the students have been placed till now. So most of the student’s time is spend in there rooms only as no classes are there in this semester and only major project is there so the students have to go once a week to the college for attendence.
Finally by the month of April the Major project thing is done and students leave for there home in the month of May saying Goodbye to the college life forever.
