Which B.Tech branch should you pick at KCG?
Branch
Fashion Technology (Fashion Tech)
30 seats. Closes at 1,29,354 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 3.5 LPA average pay, 12 students placed.
Pick it if:
You want a job with clothing and retail brands: Intimate Fashions, Pearl Global, Decathlon and Naidu Hall are on this department's recruiter list, not software firms.
Your TNEA rank is far behind the IT close: this branch closed at 1,29,354 for OC in 2025, the last of the three to fill.
You want the lower fee on a TNEA seat: this branch costs INR 2 Lakhs for four years, the same as AI and DS and less than IT.
Skip it if:
You expect the pay of the IT branch: the college's AICTE sheet puts this branch at an average of INR 3.5 LPA, against INR 4.25 LPA in IT.
You want a large class with many seniors: the branch has 30 seats, and only 20 students joined it in 2025-26.
Information Technology (IT)
120 seats. Closes at 61,931 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 4.25 LPA average pay, 43 students placed.
Pick it if:
You want an IT services job on the OMR corridor: Capgemini, Accenture, Hexaware and Soliton are on this department's recruiter list, and the campus sits on Rajiv Gandhi Salai.
You want the one branch here with a published pay figure: the college's AICTE sheet gives IT an average of INR 4.25 LPA, with 43 students placed.
You want to add a specialisation: IT offers tracks such as Data Science, Cyber Security and Cloud Computing, with 18 extra credits from semester 5.
Skip it if:
You want the lowest fee: IT is NBA accredited, so a TNEA seat costs INR 55,000 a year, INR 5,000 more than the other two branches.
Your rank is close to the IT close of last year: the OC close moved from 52,298 in 2024 to 61,931 in 2025, so it can swing either way.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
90 seats. Closes at 56,527 for OC in TNEA 2025. No pay figure published yet.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is inside 56,527: this was the toughest B.Tech branch here in 2025, so it fills before IT and Fashion Technology.
You want data and AI work more than general IT: the department has tie-ups with Aquaconnect and Lamina Solutions for data science work and projects.
You want a newer branch at the lower fee: AI and DS costs INR 50,000 a year on a TNEA seat, and its intake grew from 60 to 90 in 2025-26.
Skip it if:
You want past placement numbers before you choose: the college's AICTE sheet shows no placed students or average pay for this branch yet.
You plan to move to IT later: a branch change is allowed only in semester 2, only into seats left empty, and on merit.
Counsellor's advice
If your rank clears AI and DS or IT, choose Accept and join, since both filled early in 2025. If it clears only Fashion Technology, take it only if you want clothing work; the branch change needs an empty seat in semester 2.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: A pass with 45% in Maths, Physics and Chemistry together. BC, MBC, SC and ST students need 40%.
Vocational stream: Also allowed, with the same 45% or 40% rule on the related subjects and the practicals.
Rank needed: A TNEA rank. There is no entrance exam; the rank comes from your Class 12 marks.
Same rule, every branch: IT, AI and DS and Fashion Technology all use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.
Other states: Students from other states can apply and are counted in the OC group.
B.Tech Admission Process▾
Register for TNEA: Apply online in May and upload your Class 10, 11 and 12 mark sheets and community certificate.
Get your rank: DoTE checks your papers and publishes the rank list at the end of June.
Fill your branch order: In your counselling round, list KCG (code 1311) branches in the order you want them. The seat goes to the highest choice still open.
Confirm the seat: Pick Accept and join, or Accept and upward to wait for a higher choice in the next round.
Report at the college: Pay the fee at KCG and bring your original papers. Branch change is possible only in semester 2.

EDITOR'S NOTE
These are the last closes of the 2025 general rounds, so treat them as the far edge. The IT close grew easier two years running, from 41,094 in 2023 to 52,298 in 2024 and 61,931 in 2025. Fashion Technology usually has seats left for the supplementary round.

In short
Panimalar charges the same IT fee and matches the median pay and placement rate, with an IT close about 9,500 places tougher. If your rank clears both, pick by the campus you prefer.
In short
Sri Sairam charges the same fee but its IT seat closes about 29,000 places earlier and its median pay is lower. If your rank clears Sri Sairam IT, weigh the two on location.
In short
St Joseph's has more B.Tech branches, a much tougher IT close and a lower median pay. If your rank misses its IT close, this college is the realistic IT option.
In short
Rajalakshmi pays the same median and places a bigger share, but its IT close is about 50,000 places tougher. If your rank clears Rajalakshmi IT, take that seat first.
FAQs on KCG College of Technology B.Tech

How do I get a B.Tech seat at KCG College of Technology?▾

Is the fee the same for every branch?▾
No. On a TNEA seat, IT costs INR 55,000 a year because it is NBA accredited, and AI and DS and Fashion Technology cost INR 50,000 a year. Over four years that is INR 2.20 Lakhs and INR 2 Lakhs without hostel.

Fashion Technology. Its OC seat closed at 1,29,354 in TNEA 2025, far behind IT at 61,931 and AI and DS at 56,527.
Can I change my branch after year 1?▾
Only in semester 2, and only into a branch that has empty seats after semester 1. The college picks on merit and the principal decides, so do not count on it.

How much is the management quota fee?▾
The state fee committee rate is INR 87,000 a year for IT and INR 85,000 a year for the other two branches. These seats go through the self-financing colleges consortium, not TNEA.
