Branch

AI and MLFood TechITChemical

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML)

120 seats. Closes at 52,635 for OC in the last round. Total fees INR 11.68 Lakhs.

Pick it if:

You want the software side of the campus recruiter list: Amazon, IBM and Oracle are on the college's recruiter list and hire for software and data roles.

Your OC rank is inside 52,635: this branch took OC students up to that rank in the last round of 2025.

You can pay the highest fee of the four: this branch costs INR 11.68 Lakhs for four years, the most of any B.Tech branch here.

Skip it if:

You want an NBA accredited branch: this branch is not on the college's NBA list in the TNEA data for 2025.

You want the lowest fee for a B.Tech here: Chemical costs INR 8.68 Lakhs against INR 11.68 Lakhs for this branch, for the same four years.

Food Technology (Food Tech)

60 seats. Closes at 97,952 for OC in the last round. Total fees INR 9.68 Lakhs.

Your OC rank is beyond 58,324: Food Technology stayed open to OC students up to 97,952 in the last round of 2025, the deepest of the four.

You want a branch built around food, not code: it trains you for food processing and quality work, while most firms on the campus recruiter list are IT firms.

You want an accredited branch at a middle fee: Food Technology is on the college's NBA list and costs INR 9.68 Lakhs for four years.

Skip it if:

You want a software job from campus: Amazon, TCS and Infosys lead the college's recruiter list, and none of them is a food company.

You want a big batch of classmates: Food Technology has 60 seats, half the seats of IT.

Open the full Food Technology page

Information Technology (IT)

120 seats. Closes at 48,772 for OC in the last round. Total fees INR 10.28 Lakhs.

Pick it if:

Your OC rank is inside 48,772: IT closed first of the four B.Tech branches for OC in 2025, so it is the one to put first.

You want the IT service firms on the campus list: TCS, Infosys, Cognizant and Wipro are on the college's recruiter list and hire IT graduates every year.

You want an accredited software branch: IT is on the college's NBA list in the TNEA data, and AI and ML is not.

Skip it if:

You expect IT to be the cheap software option: it costs INR 10.28 Lakhs, only a little below AI and ML at INR 11.68 Lakhs.

You want a small batch: IT has 120 seats, one of the two biggest B.Tech batches here.

Open the full Information Technology page

Pick it if:

You want the lowest fee in the B.Tech list: Chemical costs INR 8.68 Lakhs for four years, the least of the four branches.

You want plant and process work: this is the only B.Tech branch here built around chemical plants and process industries.

Your community is BCM: the BCM close in Chemical was 66,118 in 2025, tougher than in any other B.Tech branch here.

Skip it if:

You want software work after college: Chemical teaches plant and process subjects, so a software job needs coding you learn on your own.

You want a big batch of classmates: Chemical has 60 seats, half the seats of IT.

Open the full Chemical Engineering page

Counsellor's advice

If your OC rank is inside 48,772, put IT first and AI and ML second. If it sits between 52,635 and 97,952, list Chemical and then Food Technology, and keep both in every round, since round 2 went deeper than round 1 in 2025.
