SRM Semester 2 PYQs, notes, syllabus and subject resources — all 16 subjects mapped.
Semester 2 builds on your foundation with Advanced Mathematics, Semiconductor Physics and Object-Oriented Programming. OODP introduces the programming paradigm used in all subsequent years — master classes, inheritance and polymorphism here.

CGPA importance in Semester 2
Semester 2 CGPA matters for summer internship applications after Year 1. Maintain 8.0+ to stay competitive for research internships.
Semester 2 study tips
- OODP is the most important subject — it underpins all Year 2-4 programming
- Advanced Calculus concepts appear in DSA and DAA for algorithm complexity analysis
- Semiconductor Physics is theory-heavy; use YouTube animations for band theory concepts
- Join coding clubs and participate in hackathons to apply OODP concepts practically
