Which B.Tech branch should you pick at JEC?

Branch

TextileIT

Textile Technology (Textile)

40 seats. Closed at 2,37,864 for OC in 2025.

Pick it if:

You want a job in the textile and garment trade: Tiruppur, Coimbatore and Karur hold Tamil Nadu's mills and garment exporters, and this branch trains you for that work.

You want a branch the NBA has checked: Textile Technology is NBA accredited here, while Information Technology is not.

Your TNEA rank is far down the list: this branch closed at 2,37,864 for OC in 2025, the last B.Tech seat here to fill.

Skip it if:

You want an IT job in Chennai: the work this branch trains you for sits mostly in mill towns, not in Chennai offices.

You want pay figures for this branch alone: the college files one median for every UG branch, INR 3 LPA, and nothing for Textile by itself.

You want a large batch around you: the branch has 40 seats, a third of the Information Technology intake.

Open the full B.Tech Textile Technology page

Information Technology (IT)

120 seats. Closed at 1,83,048 for OC in 2025.

Pick it if:

You want a software job close to home: TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant and Mphasis are the recruiters the college names, mostly for IT service roles.

Your OC rank is inside 1,83,048: that was this branch's close after the last round in 2025.

You want the biggest B.Tech batch here: it has 120 seats, so more classmates sit the same campus drives with you.

Skip it if:

You want an NBA accredited branch: this branch is not NBA accredited here, while Textile Technology is.

You expect a high first salary: the median UG offer was INR 3 LPA in 2024-25, so most first jobs are service company roles.

Open the full B.Tech Information Technology page

Counsellor's advice

If your OC rank is inside 1,83,048 and you want software work, put Information Technology above Textile Technology. If your rank is beyond it, Textile is the seat left, so take it only if the mill and garment trade appeals to you.

B.Tech Eligibility▾

Class 12 subjects: Maths, Physics and Chemistry, with a pass in each.

Class 12 marks: 45% across the three subjects for OC, 40% for BC, MBC, SC and ST.

Cutoff mark: TNEA adds Maths out of 100 to Physics and Chemistry out of 50 each, so the top mark is 200.

Same rule, every branch: Both branches use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.

Government school quota: 7.5% of seats go to students who studied Class 6 to 12 in state government schools.

B.Tech Admission Process▾

Register on TNEA: Apply on the TNEA portal in May and upload your Class 12 marks and community certificate. There is no entrance exam.

Get your rank: TNEA ranks every student on the cutoff mark and tells you which counselling round is yours.

Fill branch choices: In your round, list this college's branches in the order you want them, along with other colleges.

Confirm the seat: Accept the allotment online before the round closes, or the seat goes to the next student.

Report and pay: Visit the college with your originals and pay the first-year fee. Branch change after year 1 depends on Anna University rules and open seats.
