In 2002, the SRM College of Dentistry was awarded the status of deemed university by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, India. In the same year, the engineering, medical and para-medical colleges of the group were brought under the ambit of SRM Deemed University. In 2003-04 other colleges follow suit. In 2006, the deemed university then attained the status of a full-fledged university, under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956.
