The Phase-1 result went live on 5 May 2026 at 3 pm. SRMIST activated the result link at srmist.edu.in; for the first hour the portal buckled under a sudden spike in traffic. If you wrote the April 24-29 slot, your all-India rank (AIR) is already available. Phase-2 and Phase-3 aspirants have their result windows coming up in June and July - and your rank in that specific phase will be the only one used for counselling in that round.
This page tells you when each phase’s result is released, how to download the rank card without fumbling, what numbers matter on the scorecard, and what to do the moment you see your rank. Every date and figure is pulled from SRMIST’s published calendar, official counselling manuals, and multiple public estimates collated across phase-1 data points.
SRM conducts three exam windows. Results are declared phase-wise - you do not get one composite list for the whole year. The table below pins down the confirmed date for Phase-1 and the narrow windows for the remaining phases, drawn from the official exam calendar and counselling announcements.
What the schedule means for you

If the portal hangs - wait 10-15 minutes and retry. Phase-1 day saw such a load that the server slowed temporarily. Patience and a stable connection usually get you through.

Check every detail. A misspelled name or wrong application number can create trouble at document verification. Contact the admission authority immediately if you spot an error.
SRMIST does not release a public “cutoff” or a marks-to-rank formula before counselling. Instead, a merit list is prepared after each phase, and seats are filled rank-by-rank, choice-by-choice. However, several previous-year trends and Phase-1 feedback allow a reasonable estimate of how your raw score out of 130 translates to a rank band.
The exam has 130 questions (35 Physics, 35 Chemistry, 40 Mathematics/Biology, 20 English & Aptitude). There is no negative marking, so attempting all questions is safe - and it compresses the score distribution. A difference of 10 marks in the top band can shift your rank by thousands.
These bands are directional, not a contract. Year-on-year variation of 5-10 marks is common, and the Phase-1 advantage (more seats) can lower the rank threshold for the same score compared to Phase-2. If you appear in multiple phases, SRM considers your best rank across all attempts for counselling.
SRMJEEE is conducted in multiple slots within a phase, and question paper difficulty can vary. To ensure fairness, the institute applies a percentile-based normalisation process. It works like this:
If you sat for Phase 1, the rank card you downloaded already reflects any normalisation applied. There is no appeal against it.
For Phase-1 2026, the official topper list hasn’t been published yet. Traditionally, SRM releases a merit list alongside the results a day or two later. The merit list contains two parts: the drawing list (first-come-first-served seat allotment) and the waiting list. Only candidates on the drawing list get immediate seats.
If you want to benchmark your own performance, track the official merit list PDF once it appears on srmist.edu.in. In previous years, Phase-1 toppers included names like Om Narayan (Delhi), Shaunak Pal (Gujarat), and others from multiple states. For 2026, the list will be posted soon - watch the portal.
Your rank opens the door to counselling. Here’s the precise Phase-1 timeline and the general process that Phases 2 and 3 will replicate.

Steps:
admissions.srmist.edu.in) and download your rank card.Important: If you were not allocated a seat in Round 1, or if you didn’t fill choices earlier, you can participate in Round 2 choice filling (tentatively 27 May). If you were allocated in Round 1 but refused the seat, you are not eligible for subsequent rounds in the same phase.
SRM does not publish static cutoffs. The closing rank for a branch varies each year and across counselling rounds. Based on multiple analytical sources and historical trends, here is an indicative rank-to-branch map for the Kattankulathur (KTR) campus, plus a general comparison with other campuses.
KTR Campus (General Category, estimated closing ranks)
Other Campuses (approximate closing rank for CSE)
These figures are tentative; official cutoffs emerge only after each round. Use them to build a realistic shortlist, not as a guarantee. If your rank is borderline, have backup campuses and branches ready.
Q: I took the exam from home. Is the result still valid for on-campus admission?
A: Yes. The remote proctored online mode (RPOM) is the official format for 2026. The rank card is identical in standing to one earned at a test centre.
Q: Can I get my marks re-evaluated?
A: SRMIST does not offer re-evaluation or rechecking. The rank is final once published. If there is a factual error in your name or application number, contact the admission helpline immediately.
Q: I scored 85 in Phase 1. Should I sit for Phase 2?
A: If your target is CSE at KTR, a Phase 2 attempt could help - your best rank across phases is considered. A 10-mark improvement could push you into a stronger specialisation at KTR. You’ll need a separate application (₹ 1,400).
Q: What happens if two candidates have the same marks?
A: SRMIST uses tie-breaking rules, typically giving preference to the candidate who is older, then comparing sectional performance (Mathematics first, then Physics, then Chemistry). If the tie persists, a unique rank is still generated; you will not see a shared rank.
Q: I didn’t get my rank card by email. What should I do?
A: Log in to srmist.edu.in with your application credentials. The rank card is always available for download. If the email notification is missing, check your spam folder.
Q: Is the rank card required for an education loan?
A: Yes. Most banks ask for the official rank card and the provisional allotment letter. Keep a clear digital copy and multiple prints.
Q: What is the fee I must pay if I get a seat?
A: For most campuses, ₹ 1,10,000 at the time of accepting the allotment (₹ 10,000 registration + ₹ 1,00,000 counselling fee, adjusted in tuition). For Delhi-NCR and Sonepat campuses, it’s ₹ 1,15,000. The balance tuition is due by the full-fee deadline (31 May for Phase 1).
Q: Can I upgrade my seat in a later round?
A: Yes, if you are allotted in Round 1 but want a better branch, you can choose not to accept the seat; however, you will not be eligible for Round 2 of the same phase. If you are unallotted in Round 1, you can participate in Round 2. Phases are independent, so you could also try Phase 2 for an upgrade.
Q: Where can I find the exact closing ranks for each round?
A: SRMIST publishes the seat allotment results on the admission portal after each round. Track the announcements during counselling; the closing rank is reflected by the last admitted candidate’s position.
Q: Are there scholarships available based on my result?
A: Yes, SRM offers scholarships ranging from 25% to 100% fee waiver, plus the respected Founder’s Scholarship for top rankers. Check the official scholarship policy at srmist.edu.in - eligibility is tied to your rank and other criteria, not just a conversation with the helpdesk.
Q: I haven’t yet booked my slot for Phase 2. How does that affect my result?
A: Without a booked slot, you cannot take the exam, so you won’t receive a result. Slot booking typically opens two days before the exam window; book early through the OTBS link on your admission portal. Slots fill on a first-come-first-served basis.
Q: What if I face a discrepancy in my scorecard?
A: Report it immediately via the admission portal’s query system or write to [email protected]. Delays can jeopardise your counselling participation.
