Hey guys, wanted to drop this here because I see a lot of juniors and parents blindly running behind SNU Chennai just by looking at the "SSN" brand name. Before you or your parents drop ₹16 to 20 Lakhs over the next four years, please take a second to look at the ground reality.

People are heavily confusing SSN (the legacy college) (with low Fees) with SNU Chennai (the new private university). The old SSN built its insane reputation because it was strictly merit-driven through TNEA counselling. It took the absolute top state-board and CBSE rankers, so the peer group was elite.

SNU Chennai is a standalone private university. They withdrew from the strict merit pool so they can run their own exam (SNUCEE) and charge a massive premium. The focus has completely shifted to a high-fee revenue model.

1. If you are financially well-off:
If your family can comfortably pay ₹4.5 Lakhs+ a year out of pocket without taking an education loan, without touching retirement funds, and without it affecting your lifestyle, then honestly go ahead. The infrastructure is solid, the campus is great, and you’ll get a decent degree.

2. If you are NOT financially stable:
If your family has to take an education loan, stretch their finances, or compromise on their future to pay this fee, it is an absolute trap. Do not fall for it.

Here is why it's a trap for middle-class students:

• The Placement Illusion: Don't get fooled by those marketing banners showing ₹50 LPA or ₹1 Crore packages. Those are extreme outliers. Every batch has 1 or 2 coding prodigies who would have cracked those packages even if they studied from a random tier-3 local college. They did it entirely on their own through LeetCode, Open Source, and off-campus hustle.
• The Average Reality: For 85-90% of the batch, the placements land right around ₹4 to ₹7 LPA (with mass recruiters or standard service companies).
• The Math Doesn't Add Up: Do the math. If you spend ₹18–20 Lakhs total (fees + hostel + expenses) and land a ₹6 LPA job, your monthly take-home salary will be around ₹40,000. You will literally be working just to pay off your B.Tech. The ROI is completely negative.

What you should do instead:

• Max out TNEA Counselling: If you have the cutoff, put your effort into getting into CEG Guindy, MIT, or PSG Tech. The fees are a fraction of the cost and companies treat them with way higher respect.
• Choose Solid Tier-2 Colleges: Even if you don't get the top 3, joining a well-established TNEA college like CIT Chennai, Rajalakshmi, or SVCE via counselling
• Skills > Brand: In today’s tech market, recruiters look at your GitHub profile, your projects, and your problem-solving skills. Nobody cares about a fancy private university building.

If money isn't an issue for your family, take it. But if it is, do not saddle yourself with massive debt or put your parents under intense financial stress for a name that isn't even what it used to be. Think practically, not emotionally.

Same as title

hi guys, been pretty bored for the last couple days, got nth to do. final year bsc econ + finance student here. Been in multiple clubs/positions/whatever active in the student body for a long long time and now im just taking a breather. and ik how admissions work here pretty well, so shoot whatever questions u may have i'll try to answer it in as much detail as possible :) hope this thread helps whoever is on it, and if you're waiting for an offer then atb!!

heard the packages are similar..so what makes more sense?Fees is also similar

Edit : To clarify, I’m comparing SNUC CSE and MIT(Anna University) CSE

So I got admission in the EEE branch and after paying the initial fees they announced that an additional mess fee is gonna cost 80K. The budget was already tight and now it's not at all affordable. My family income is below 3.5 lpa so now this merit cum means scholarship is my sole deciding factor. I'll join if and only if I get this scholarship.

I haven't yet filled the scholarship docs because I'm waiting for a certificate. I wanted to know in detail about this scholarship process to get an idea if I'm eligible to claim it or not and opt for a different college before this academic year begins. If any senior has this scholarship or someone knows about it please let me know.

Does board marks matter here like if I got good marks in board then chances of getting admission is high ?

Hi current SNUC students, i have a few queries about the campus life and general experiences living in the hostels. this is in reference to BTECH course.

1. How chill is the college? (Free time between classes, dress code, interactions with teachers etc)

2. How often can first years leave the campus, like on weekends to go for outings or to explore the city? it is super hard to get permission?

3. Do we have to go to classes every single day or can we pick our own schedules and choose our own class timings? And can we go to the library to study or work any time we wish?

4. How easy is it to make friends? i mean, what’s the nature of the peer group? i’m sorry if this makes no sense, i know this is highly subjective. i’m a bit of an introvert but i can be social and i’m getting better at talking to people.

5. how is the NON academic life for btech students? parties, fests, sports, clubs..

6. can you visit other people‘s hostels rooms, and can you have friends over to your rooms, or is there too many restrictions on that?

would really appreciate your insight!!

Anybody got results??

Junior here (2027 aspirant) from Telangana.

Hi seniors! I'm thinking of writing (tbh my only backup atp jee gone case) SNUCEE 2027 and wanted to get an idea of the competition.

1)Approximately how many students appeared for SNUCEE this year?

2)How difficult was the exam compared to your expectations?

3)What chapters were the most scoring/most weightage and the difficulty of the questions

4)Around what score/rank was considered safe for admission(cs ai ml)

Also are all chennai '27 students writing this???

Any insights would be really helpful. Thanks!
