Which B.Tech branch should you pick at Sri Sairam?

Branch
Information Technology (IT)
480 seats. Closed at 32,813 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.20 Lakhs in tuition over 4 years.
Pick it if:
You want the biggest B.Tech batch here: IT takes 480 students a year, the most of the three branches, so it has the widest circle of seniors in the degree.
You want a branch the NBA has checked: IT is the only B.Tech branch here on the college's NBA accredited list, and that is why its fee is higher.
Your OC general rank is inside 32,813: IT took OC students up to that rank in 2025, and 282 of its seats went through TNEA.
Skip it if:
You want the lowest fee: IT costs INR 55,000 a year against INR 50,000 for the other two branches, so four years cost INR 20,000 more.
You are counting on one year's close: IT closed at 18,037 in 2023 and at 32,813 in 2025, so the close moves a lot from year to year.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
300 seats. Closed at 30,624 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs in tuition over 4 years.
Pick it if:
You want data and machine learning work: AI and DS first took TNEA students here in 2020, so only a few batches have finished and gone to jobs.
Your OC general rank is inside 30,624: AI and DS closed first of the three branches in 2025, so it was the hardest B.Tech seat here.
You want a lower fee than IT: AI and DS costs INR 50,000 a year, INR 5,000 less than IT, for the same four years.
Skip it if:
You want the NBA stamp on your branch: AI and DS is not on the college's NBA accredited list, which covers IT among the B.Tech branches.
You plan on an easy close: the AI and DS close moved from 18,547 in 2023 to 30,624 in 2025, so there is little history to plan with.
Computer Science and Business Systems (CSBS)
60 seats. Closed at 35,689 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs in tuition over 4 years.
Pick it if:
You want coding with business subjects: CSBS follows the syllabus TCS drew up with AICTE, so accounting and economics sit beside programming.
Your OC general rank is between 32,813 and 35,689: CSBS was the only B.Tech branch here still open to OC ranks in that range in 2025.
You want a small class: CSBS takes 60 students a year, one eighth of the IT batch, so you share labs with fewer students.
Skip it if:
You need many TNEA seats to aim at: only 36 CSBS seats went through TNEA in 2025, so a few students ahead of you can fill the branch.
You expect a lower fee for the small batch: CSBS costs INR 50,000 a year, the same as AI and DS.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank is inside 30,624, list AI and DS, IT and CSBS in the order you want to study them. If it is only inside 35,689, put CSBS first. Beyond that, keep these branches below safer choices.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 subjects: Maths, Physics and Chemistry, from the Tamil Nadu board or an equal board.
Class 12 marks: A 45% average in the three for OC, and 40% for BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA and ST.
No entrance exam: Your TNEA rank comes from your Class 12 marks: Maths out of 100, Physics and Chemistry out of 50 each.
Same rule, every branch: IT, AI and DS and CSBS all use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.
College seats: Seats not given through TNEA are filled by the college itself, through the Sairam group admission site.
B.Tech Admission Process▾
Register for TNEA: Apply online on the DoTE TNEA site in May and upload your Class 12 and community certificates.
Get your rank: DoTE publishes the rank list in July from your mark out of 200.
Fill branch choices: Choice filling is a branch order: list this college's branches in the order you want them, the one you want most first.
Confirm the seat: Accept the allotment online, or ask for a higher choice in the next round.
Report and pay: Report to the college with the allotment order and pay the first-year fee before classes start.

EDITOR'S NOTE

These are the 2025 closes on the TNEA general rank. The IT close moved from 18,037 in 2023 to 32,813 in 2025, so a rank within a few thousand of a close is a maybe, not a yes. Keep a safer college below these branches in your list.

In short
SVCE pays INR 1 LPA more on the median and its IT close is much tougher, but it has no CSBS. If your rank clears SVCE in IT or AI and DS, take SVCE.
In short
Panimalar places a larger share at a higher median, and its IT and AI and DS closes are easier than here. If your rank misses Sri Sairam, list Panimalar next.
In short
St Joseph's pays less on the median and places a smaller share, with closes close to this college. If both open to your rank, Sri Sairam is the better pick on pay.
