Which B.Tech branch should you pick at SJCE?
Branch
Information Technology (IT)
480 seats. Closed at 28,713 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.20 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is under 28,713: IT is the one branch here you can take, since it closed first in TNEA 2025.
You want software jobs close to home: the college sits on OMR, the Chennai road lined with IT offices, so internships and interviews are a short ride away.
You want the biggest class and the most seniors: IT has 480 seats in 2026-27, the largest B.Tech intake at this college.
Skip it if:
You want the lowest fee: IT is NBA accredited, so its tuition is INR 2.20 Lakhs against INR 2 Lakhs in the four branches that are not.
You want a small class where every teacher knows you: the intake doubled from 240 to 480 seats this year.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
420 seats. Closed at 30,626 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
You want a data branch at the lower fee: it costs INR 2 Lakhs for four years, INR 20,000 less than IT.
Your OC rank misses IT by a little: this branch closed at 30,626 in TNEA 2025, the next one after IT.
You want roles in data and analytics: this branch trains you for data work, and OMR's IT offices hire for those roles.
Skip it if:
You want a small batch: it went from 240 to 420 seats in 2026-27, the second biggest B.Tech intake here.
You want an NBA accredited branch: this branch is not on the college's NBA list, which holds IT and Chemical among the B.Tech branches.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML)
120 seats. Closed at 34,829 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
You want AI in a mid-sized class: it has 120 seats, the same as last year, while IT and AI and Data Science grew.
Your OC rank sits between 30,626 and 34,829: this branch closed at 34,829 in TNEA 2025, after AI and Data Science.
You want to build machine learning models: the branch leans on coding and maths, the skills OMR's software firms test in interviews.
Skip it if:
You want the NBA fee rate to buy an accredited branch: this branch is not NBA accredited, so its lower fee of INR 2 Lakhs also means no accreditation yet.
You want to switch branch after year 1: the college's 2025 rules have no branch change, only a minor from semester 5.
Biotechnology (Biotech)
60 seats. Closed at 50,304 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is above 44,664: Biotechnology closed last in TNEA 2025, at 50,304, so it keeps you in this college.
You want a small class: it has 60 seats, an eighth of the IT intake.
You want lab work in biology and medicine: this branch trains you for lab, pharma and research roles, not the software jobs most branches here chase.
Skip it if:
You want a quick software job: the college reports one placement figure for all UG branches, so there is no Biotechnology pay number to check.
You plan to move into IT later: there is no branch change in the 2025 rules; a minor in another department is the only way to add one.
Chemical Engineering (Chemical)
30 seats. Closed at 44,664 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.20 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
You want the smallest class on campus: Chemical has only 30 seats, so labs have fewer students each.
You want an NBA accredited branch: Chemical is on the college's NBA list, like IT, and pays the same INR 2.20 Lakhs tuition.
You want plant and process jobs: Chemical trains you for process industries, a different job pool from the software firms along OMR.
Skip it if:
You count on last year's easy close: Chemical got tougher each year, from 69,542 in 2023 to 44,664 in 2025.
You want the lowest fee in a core branch: Chemical costs INR 20,000 more than Biotechnology over four years.
Computer Science and Business Systems (CSBS)
60 seats. Closed at 38,744 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2 Lakhs for four years.
Pick it if:
You want computing with business subjects: the syllabus mixes coding with management, and IT firms on OMR hire for both kinds of roles.
Your OC rank sits near 38,744: CSBS closed at 38,744 in TNEA 2025, between AI and ML and Chemical.
You want a computing branch at the lower fee: CSBS costs INR 2 Lakhs for four years, INR 20,000 less than IT.
Skip it if:
You want years of closing data before you choose: TNEA 2025 was the first year CSBS seats went through counselling here.
You want a big batch: it has 60 seats, one of the smaller B.Tech intakes here.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank is under 28,713, freeze IT. If not, list AI and Data Science, AI and ML and CSBS by their closes, then Chemical and Biotechnology; the college has no branch change, so pick the branch you want to study.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 subjects: Maths and Physics, plus Chemistry or another subject TNEA allows.
Class 12 marks: 45% in those three for OC, 40% for BC, BCM and MBC, 35% for SC, SCA and ST.
No entrance exam: TNEA ranks you on a 200-mark cutoff from your Maths, Physics and Chemistry marks.
Same rule, every branch: All six branches use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.
Nativity: You must meet the TNEA nativity rules to get a TNEA seat.
B.Tech Admission Process▾

In short
Panimalar charges the same tuition, reports a higher median and places more of its batch, and its IT seat is easier to get. If your rank misses IT here, Panimalar IT is a sound next choice.
In short
Sri Sairam has the same fee and places a bigger share of its batch, and its IT close is a little tougher than here. If your rank clears both, weigh the pay figures first.
In short
Rajalakshmi has the same fee, a higher median and the best placement share here, but its IT close is far tougher. If your rank clears Rajalakshmi IT, take it; if not, SJCE is the realistic seat.
In short
SVCE has the same fee and the highest median here, but its IT seat is much harder to get. If your rank clears SVCE IT, list it above SJCE.
