Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute of Technology (SRIT) is an engineering and technology institution in India, named in honour of the celebrated Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in engineering and allied disciplines, and operates as a self-financing technical college affiliated to a state technical university and approved by the relevant national regulatory bodies governing technical education in India.
Like many institutions named after Ramanujan, SRIT positions itself within the broader ecosystem of Indian engineering colleges that emerged in the post-liberalisation period to meet the rising demand for trained engineers, particularly in computer science, electronics, and core engineering branches.

The institute draws its identity from Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920), whose contributions to number theory, mathematical analysis, infinite series, and continued fractions remain foundational. Naming a technology institute after Ramanujan reflects a tradition in Indian higher education of associating engineering campuses with iconic figures of Indian science and mathematics, alongside institutions named after C. V. Raman, Vikram Sarabhai, J. C. Bose, and others.
SRIT functions within the framework set by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which lays down norms for intake, faculty qualifications, infrastructure, and curriculum standards across approved technical institutions in India.
The institute generally offers a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) programme across a range of engineering disciplines. Common branches at institutions of this profile include:
Postgraduate offerings, where available, typically include the Master of Technology (M.Tech) in select specialisations and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme. The curriculum follows the syllabus of the affiliating university, with internal evaluation, semester examinations, project work, and industrial training forming part of the academic structure.
Students are evaluated through a combination of continuous internal assessment and end-semester university examinations. Final-year students are expected to undertake a major project, often supplemented by internships in industry or research organisations.
The campus typically houses departmental laboratories, classrooms, computing facilities, a central library, seminar halls, and auditoriums. Standard infrastructure at engineering institutions of this type includes:
Admission to undergraduate engineering programmes in India is generally regulated through state-level entrance examinations and centralised counselling. Candidates seeking admission to SRIT are typically required to qualify in the relevant state engineering entrance test, with seats allotted under convenor and management quotas as per state norms. Postgraduate admissions usually require a valid score in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) or a state-conducted PG entrance, while MBA admissions follow management entrance examinations recognised by the state.
Student activities at SRIT generally revolve around departmental associations, technical clubs, and cultural societies. Activities commonly include:
