SRM semester-wise subject maps, syllabus units and course codes for all 8 semesters.
Choose your semester to see every subject it contains, with its course code, credit weight and unit checklist. Start here each term: it is the fastest route from "I have an exam" to "I know which units are in scope."

Year 4SRM B.Tech CSE progression roadmap
Understanding how subjects build on each other across semesters helps you identify prerequisite knowledge gaps before they become exam problems.
Year 1 (Sem 1-2): Foundation
Maths (Calculus, Advanced Calculus), Physics (Semiconductor), Programming (PPS, OODP), Electrical (EEE), Workshop. These are prerequisites for every CSE subject from Sem 3 onwards. Build strong fundamentals here — weak maths hurts DSA and DAA later.
Year 2 (Sem 3-4): Core CSE begins
DSA → DAA, COA → Microprocessors, OS basics, DBMS, AI fundamentals, Digital Logic Design. This is the most critical year for placements. All tech interview questions trace back to Year 2 subjects. Prioritise CGPA here.
Year 3 (Sem 5-6): Advanced and placements
Computer Networks, Machine Learning, Compiler Design, Formal Language & Automata, SEPM, Data Science. On-campus placements begin in Sem 6. Start DSA problem-solving and system design prep alongside these subjects.
Year 4 (Sem 7-8): Electives and projects
Professional electives, open electives, major project. Focus on building a strong project portfolio and preparing for off-campus placements. Use the lighter subject load to complete backlogs if any from earlier semesters.
Most-frequently accessed semester pages
These are the most searched semester resource pages by SRM students, based on search volume and page visits.
Semester 3 resources
The most resource-heavy semester with DSA, OS, COA — all placement-critical. See the full subject map with direct links.
High trafficSemester 4 resources
DBMS, DAA, AI and IoT. DAA builds directly on DSA from Sem 3. DBMS is the most-asked subject in non-tech placement interviews.
High trafficSemester 5 resources
CN, ML, FLA and Discrete Maths. CN is a core networking subject asked in every networking role interview.
Semester 1 resources
14 subjects for freshers. The largest subject count of any semester. Focus on PPS and Calculus as building blocks for the B.Tech journey.
Semester 6 resources
Compiler Design and SEPM are the headline subjects. Placement season begins here — balance exam prep with DSA practice.
Semester 2 resources
OODP introduces Object-Oriented Programming — the paradigm used in all subsequent years. Master classes, inheritance and polymorphism here.
How to use semester pages effectively
Open your semester page at the start of the term
Bookmark your semester page (e.g. /semesters/3/). It is your subject directory for the entire semester. Check it weekly for new resources.
Before each CT: open the subject page
Two weeks before CT1 or CT2, open each subject page from your semester list. Check its unit checklist, then revise only the units the CT covers.
Before SEM: follow the exam strategy
Use the exam strategy page for a structured last-week plan. The semester page links you to every subject you need — do not waste time searching individually.
Between semesters: plan your CGPA trajectory
Use the GPA calculator to set target grades for next semester's subjects. Cross-reference credits on your semester page to weight your effort correctly.
