SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur Chengalpattu 189SRM Institute of Science and Technollogy Aicte Mandatory DisclosureSRMIST Consultancy Activities & Faculty ExpertiseComprehensive Synthesis of Departmental and Domain-Level Engagements AICTE Mandatory Disclosure Report (August 2026)1. Executive SummaryThis report provides a comprehensive review of the active consultancy services, industrial testing, corporate training, and clinical trial programs hosted across various departments at the SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) Kattankulathur, as detailed in the mandatory disclosures for the Academic Year 2026-27. Consultancy at SRMIST represents a robust bridge between high-caliber academic research and real-world industrial application, providing highly specialized services to private corporations, municipal bodies, and national laboratories.The institutional consultancy matrix is diverse, spanning heavy engineering, material characterization, infrastructure design, custom software architecture, biochemical assays, clinical trials, and corporate capacity-building. Faculty members leverage advanced departmental laboratories - such as the highresolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) facilities at the Sir C.V. Raman Research Park, the structural testing labs to execute these technical tasks.Core Insight: The sheer volume and range of consultancy works at SRMIST demonstrate that the faculty's expert knowledge is deeply integrated with the industry. From validating national highway infrastructure to testing novel Ayurvedic formulations, the department-level expertise serves as a critical technical utility nationally and internationally.2. Civil Engineering The Civil Engineering Department is one of the most prolific contributors to industrial testing and infrastructure consultancy. The services provided are critical to public safety and regional development, including structural design, material testing, soil investigations, and third-party quality audits for government entities and municipal corporations.Third-Party Quality Assessment and Road AuditsA major focus area is . The department regularly conducts comprehensive site inspections and quality audits for the construction and relaying of bitumen and concrete roads. These public infrastructure audits are conducted for several civic bodies, including the Tambaram Corporation, Kancheepuram Corporation, Vandavasi Municipality, Thiruporur Special Grade Town Panchayat, Valavanur Town Panchayat, Acharapakkam Town Panchayat, and Marakkanam Town Panchayat. These audits verify compliance with Indian road standards, assessing material grades under schemes like the Kalaignar Nagarpura Mempattu Thittam (KNMT), Nagarpura Salai Mempattu Thittam (NSMT), and NABARD funding.Another crucial competency is. Led by senior faculty like Dr. P.T. Ravichandran and Dr. P.R. Kannan Rajkumar the department provides critical soil investigations and design validations for massive structural installations. Notable projects include the soil design for underground tank reservoirs of 2 Lakh liter capacity at multiple municipal wards and foundation design for modern LPG crematoriums.Material Testing and Structural DiagnosticsFurthermore, the department hosts a specialized wing. Faculty members such as Dr. K.S. Satyanarayanan, and Dr. S. Senthil Selvan provide rigorous testing of structural concrete (e.g., M50 high-strength concrete mixes), elastic modulus determinations, steel rebar testing, and load-carrying capacity evaluations of existing mezzanine floors.Department & Key Faculty Core Consultancy Domain Representative Engagements / DeliverablesCivil Engineering- Dr. P.T.
