Counselling for SRM JEEM 2026

Candidates who have passed the exam with the required cutoff can take part in the further admission process. The procedure after the test comprises Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview. Candidates can know the result and compare their score with the cutoff marks. 

The candidate's score should either be equal to the cutoff marks or more than that. In case the score is either equal to or greater than the set cutoff, individuals can take part in the next stage of the admission process. The Group Discussion and Personal Interview schedule would be intimated to the candidates. They can find information about the time and date for the next admission procedure on the official website, also. 

The information regarding the further admission procedure will likely be intimated to the candidates at their email addresses, and they can refer to it regularly. Candidates have to report to the centre designated with the required documents for the further admission process. They have to show the documents, undertake the registration process. The events (GD/PI) can be conducted in any order, and candidates have to be prepared for them.

Group Discussion is about performing allotted tasks in a group; the candidates have to coordinate with other members of the group and work towards finishing the task. This activity aims to test the ability of the candidates to perform any task in a team. 

Personal Interview is about interacting with senior members/faculty members of the institution, where the candidates would usually speak about their interests, purpose behind taking up the course and various nuances about the academic subject. This round aims to test the communication skills of the candidate, and as his attitude and aptitude, and interest towards the academic subject.

The final selection will be done based on the performance in the Entrance Test, GD, PI and Qualifying exam. The achievements of the candidates on the professional front (work experience) will also be taken into consideration for final selection in certain institutions.

Candidates have to take certain documents with them while attending the counselling process. Candidates must have both photocopies and originals of the documents mentioned below, as both would be of use during the counselling process:

Point to remember 

The above format is usually followed on many occasions; however, due to many reasons, there could be a change in the procedure mentioned above. If the existing circumstances create a need for a change, then one or more processes could be eliminated and a simpler alternative could be adopted.

Candidates have to keep in mind these changes and refer to the official websites or other official sources for updates. Changes in the procedure will usually be announced on the official websites or other official sources.
