Anna University affiliated colleges permit branch changes only at the end of the first year, subject to vacant seats in the target branch and meeting a minimum CGPA threshold set by the college. At VCET Madurai, the B.Tech intake is smaller than B.E, so a branch change into B.Tech is unlikely if seats are already full. Apply for the correct programme during TNEA counselling rather than banking on a branch change.

BC and MBC students with family income below INR 2,50,000 can apply for the Tamil Nadu Post-Matric Scholarship, which reimburses full tuition fees.

The Central Sector Scholarship gives up to INR 20,000 annually to students in the top 20th percentile of their 10+2 board with family income below INR 8,00,000. Apply through scholarships.gov.in or tnscholars.gov.in after admission is confirmed.

How does VCET Madurai B.Tech compare with TCE Madurai for a student with a mid-range TNEA rank?

TCE Madurai is a government-aided autonomous college, significantly more competitive with TNEA closing ranks of 1,143 to 11,302 for OC versus around 26,544 for VCET. TCE also charges a lower total of INR 3.48 lakhs compared to VCETs INR 8 lakhs because government-aided colleges receive state funding. If your TNEA rank allows TCE, it offers stronger brand recognition and career outcomes. VCET is the better fit for students who want to stay in Madurai but rank below TCEs cutoff.

Which B.Tech branch should you pick at VCET?

Branch

AI and DSIT

Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)

120 seats. Closes at 33,218 for OC in TNEA 2025. No graduated batch yet, so no pay figure.

Pick it if:

You want data and machine learning work: the department trains students for data scientist and AI researcher roles through predictive and prescriptive analytics courses.

You want the lower fee: AI and Data Science costs INR 50,000 a year on a TNEA seat, against INR 55,000 in IT.

Your OC rank sits just past the IT close: AI and Data Science closed at 33,218 in TNEA 2025, the later of the two branches.

Skip it if:

You want placement figures before you choose: this branch has no batch in the 2024 or 2025 placement lists yet.

You want an NBA accredited branch: the college lists NBA accreditation for IT, not for AI and Data Science.

Open the full Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS) page

Information Technology (IT)

180 seats. Closes at 31,815 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 4.44 LPA average pay, 75% of eligible students placed.

Pick it if:

You want the branch with a hiring record here: Hexaware, Accenture and Cognizant made offers to 28 of the 63 IT students placed in 2025.

Your OC rank is inside 31,815: IT closed there in TNEA 2025, so it is the first branch to go in each round.

You want the bigger batch: IT has 180 seats against 120 in AI and Data Science, so the batch and its group of seniors are larger.

Skip it if:

You expect a large first salary: the IT average in 2025 was INR 4.44 LPA, and only two offers reached INR 7 LPA or more.

You want the lowest fee on the campus: IT is charged the NBA accredited rate of INR 55,000 a year, INR 5,000 more than AI and Data Science.

Open the full Information Technology (IT) page

Counsellor's advice

If your OC rank is inside 31,815, put IT first and AI and Data Science second. If it falls between 31,815 and 33,218, put AI and Data Science first, and keep IT on the list for an upward move in round 2.

Placement insights

Hexaware, Accenture and Cognizant made offers to 28 of the 63 placed IT students in 2025, and all three are IT service firms.

22 of the placed students took an INR 4 LPA offer, and only two got INR 7 LPA or more.

In 2024, 65 of 66 eligible IT students were placed with 87 offers. In 2025 it was 63 of 84, with 82 offers.

AI and Data Science has no batch in the 2024 or 2025 placement lists, so every figure here comes from IT.

Good to know

The placement officer invites companies, and each one holds its tests and interviews on the campus.

Only final-year students who opt for placement are sent to the companies.

Selected students hear the result on the same day as the drive.

The pay figures are the yearly salary in lakhs printed on the college's placed-student list.

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get admission to B.Tech here?▾

Apply for TNEA online in May and wait for your rank. List this college's branches in your choices, and take the seat in the round your rank reaches. Pay the fee and report at the college with your originals. The management quota is filled by the college directly.

Is the fee the same for both branches?▾

No. On a TNEA seat, IT costs INR 2.20 Lakhs and AI and Data Science INR 2 Lakhs for four years. IT is charged more because it is NBA accredited. A development fee of INR 5,000 is added once.

AI and Data Science, by a small gap. The OC seat closed at 31,815 in IT and 33,218 in AI and Data Science in TNEA 2025.

Is there an entrance exam?▾

No. TNEA ranks you on your Class 12 Maths, Physics and Chemistry marks. You need 45% in these subjects, or 40% for BC, MBC, SC and ST students.

Which branch pays more?▾

Only IT has a graduated batch so far. The IT Class of 2025 averaged INR 4.44 LPA and 75% of eligible students were placed. AI and Data Science has no pay figure yet.

Does the college publish a hostel fee?▾

No. The hostels hold 360 boys and 420 girls, but the college does not print the fee. Ask the admission office before you pay.

Can I get the fee paid by a scholarship?▾

Yes, in some cases. SC and ST students with a family income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs get the full fee through the post-matric scholarship. Students on the 7.5% government school quota also have the full fee paid by the state.
