Which B.Tech branch should you pick at Jeppiaar?
Branch
Information Technology (IT)
120 seats. Closes at 61,752 for OC in TNEA 2025.
Pick it if:
You want a software job close to home in Chennai: the campus sits on OMR, the city's IT corridor, where many of the firms that hire IT graduates have offices.
Your OC rank is near 60,000: IT closed at 61,752 for OC in TNEA 2025, a little later than AI and DS at 56,270.
You want a large batch with many seniors: IT takes 120 students a year, the same as AI and DS and four times Biotechnology.
Skip it if:
You expect almost the whole batch to be placed: the college's own table lists 34 of 82 registered IT students placed in 2023-24.
You want pay figures for this branch before you choose: the college publishes one median for all UG engineering, not a figure for IT.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
120 seats. Closes at 56,270 for OC in TNEA 2025.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is 56,270 or better: AI and DS was the first B.Tech branch here to close for OC in TNEA 2025, so a rank like that clears it.
You want coding and statistics in one branch: AI and DS mixes programming with data and machine learning, on the same OMR campus as IT.
You want the most asked for branch at the same fee: every B.Tech branch here costs INR 50,000 a year on a TNEA seat.
Skip it if:
You want a long placement record: the first AI and DS batch finished in 2024-25, and the college lists 6 of 22 registered students placed.
You plan on last year's close: the OC seat stayed open till 61,767 in round 3 of 2026 after closing at 56,270 in 2025, so it moves.
Biotechnology (Biotech)
30 seats. Closes at 77,178 for OC in TNEA 2025.
Pick it if:
You like biology more than coding: the department has taught Biotechnology since 2002, with M.Tech and PhD work in the same labs, and many of its students go on to higher studies.
Your OC rank is between 61,753 and 77,178: Biotechnology closed last of the three at 77,178 in TNEA 2025, so it keeps you in this college.
You want a small class: Biotechnology takes 30 students a year, a quarter of the IT or AI and DS intake.
Skip it if:
You want a job straight after the degree: the college lists 8 of 15 registered Biotechnology students placed in 2023-24, and many choose higher studies.
You want a software career: the labs here are biology and chemistry labs, and IT or AI and DS fit that aim at the same fee.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank is 56,270 or better, list AI and DS first, then IT. If it falls between 61,753 and 77,178, only Biotechnology is likely, so list it only if you like biology; the fee is the same in all three.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 subjects: Maths, Physics and Chemistry, from any recognised board.
Class 12 marks: 45% in Maths, Physics and Chemistry for OC, and 40% for BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA and ST.

In short
KCG's IT seat closed at almost the same OC rank and needed the same mark, and its UG batch placed a bigger share at the same median pay. If your rank clears both, KCG has the stronger placement record.
In short
Jerusalem's IT seat closed about 20,000 places later for OC, and it has not put out Class of 2025 placement figures yet. If your rank misses IT at Jeppiaar, list Jerusalem right below it.
In short
Agni placed 91% of its UG batch, but at a lower median pay, and its IT seat closed much later for OC. If a job of any pay matters most to you, Agni is the safer seat.
In short
Anand's IT seat closed at 137,127 for OC, far later than here, and it has not put out Class of 2025 placement figures yet. Keep it as a back-up if your rank is beyond 77,178.
