It is a matter of profound pride and delight to inform that SRMIST has been recognised as a Category 2 deemed to be institution by none other than the University Grants Commission (UGC). This is a recognition given by UGC to deemed universities that are self-sustaining and well-run institutions whose performance and track records have proven its value as an Institution by its various actions and outreach programs that benefit the students and the public alike
UGC has granted this status to SRMIST mainly because of its exceptional areas of expertise in infrastructure, administration, knowledgeable faculty and its ability to sustain itself. UGC’s assessment procedures are rigorous in nature and would leave no stone unturned in the process of demanding excellence in the quality of education and life itself in the process.
The degree of autonomy given to category -2 deemed to be educational institutions shows that certain relaxation of rules could be applied from UGC’s end as SRMIST takes a much better approach towards running a deemed to be institution.
