Which B.Tech branch should you pick at Mepco Schlenk?
Branch
Biotechnology (Biotech)
60 seats. Closes at 59,419 for OC. INR 2.5 LPA average pay, 20 students placed.
Pick it if:
You want a lab or research career in biology: the college's alumni list shows Biotech graduates at Syngene, Laurus Bio and Zifo, and many in research labs abroad.
You plan a master's degree after B.Tech: 18 students of the last Biotech batch went on to higher studies, the most of any B.Tech branch here.
Your TNEA rank is past the other two B.Tech closes: Biotech closed at 59,419 for OC in 2025, the last B.Tech branch here to fill.
Skip it if:
You want a campus job offer in year 4: only 20 Biotech students were placed in the last batch, at an average of INR 2.5 LPA.
You want a big batch with many seniors: Biotech takes 60 students a year, half the intake of IT.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
120 seats. Closes at 34,456 for OC. INR 4.6 LPA average pay, 54 students placed.
Pick it if:
You want an AI or data job straight from campus: recent AI and DS graduates on the college alumni list work at Mr Cooper, embedUR and Commvault as software engineers.
You want the best pay among the B.Tech branches here: AI and DS averaged INR 4.6 LPA with 54 students placed in the last batch.
Your OC rank is close to the IT close: AI and DS closed at 34,456 in 2025, just behind IT, so list both.
Skip it if:
You want a branch with a long track record: the college started AI and DS in 2020, and its first batch finished only in 2024.
You want NBA accreditation on your degree: the college disclosure lists NBA accreditation for AI and DS as not yet applicable.
Information Technology (IT)
120 seats. Closes at 33,814 for OC. INR 4 LPA average pay, 58 students placed.
Pick it if:
You want a software job with a wide choice of firms: IT graduates on the college alumni list work at Zoho, Razorpay, Cisco and HCL Technologies.
You want a job offer before you graduate: 58 IT students were placed in the last batch at an average of INR 4 LPA.
You want an accredited branch: NBA has accredited IT five times, most recently in 2025 for four years under Tier 1.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's cutoff: IT needed 181 out of 200 for OC in 2025, up from 175 in 2023, so the mark to beat keeps rising.
You want the highest pay among the B.Tech branches here: AI and DS averaged INR 4.6 LPA, above the INR 4 LPA that IT averaged.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank is inside 33,814, list IT and AI and DS first, in the order you like; both closed within a few hundred places. If it falls between 34,456 and 59,419, put Biotech first and keep the other two above it only as a hope.

In short
Kumaraguru places more of its batch at the same median pay, but its IT seat closed at 6,070, far tougher than here. If your rank clears it, take Kumaraguru; if not, this college is the realistic pick.
In short
Sri Ramakrishna places 86% of its batch at a slightly higher median, and its IT close is about 10,000 places tougher. If your rank clears it, weigh the Coimbatore move; if not, IT here is within reach.
In short
RMK places the same share at a slightly higher median, but its IT seat closed about 11,000 places tougher. If you want to stay near Chennai, list it first; for south Tamil Nadu, this college is closer.
In short
Sri Sairam's IT seat closed about 1,000 places tougher, and it places a larger share at a slightly lower median. If both are open to you, choose by city: Chennai or Sivakasi.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
