Which B.Tech branch should you pick at RTC?

Branch
Information Technology (IT)
120 seats. Closes at 49,672 for OC in TNEA 2025. The only NBA accredited B.Tech branch here.
Pick it if:
Your aim is a software job: IT graduates of 2023 joined Avasoft, Qualitest, Pegatron and Tech Mahindra, as the college placement list shows.
You miss the AI and DS close: IT closed later, at 49,672 for OC in TNEA 2025, so it is the next branch to list.
You can pay a little more for an NBA branch: IT tuition is INR 55,000 a year against INR 50,000 in the other two branches.
Skip it if:
You want the lowest fee: IT costs INR 2.25 Lakhs without hostel, the most of the three B.Tech branches here.
You expect last year's close to hold: the IT close moved from 43,421 in 2024 to 49,672 in 2025, so it can change either way.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
240 seats. Closes at 35,404 for OC in TNEA 2025.
Pick it if:
You want data and AI roles: the college brochure names two AI and DS students hired by ServiceNow and Juspay among its biggest offers.
Your OC rank is inside 35,404: this branch took OC ranks up to that point in TNEA 2025, the toughest B.Tech close at RTC.
You want the biggest B.Tech batch: with 240 seats it has twice the intake of IT and four times the intake of Biotech.
Skip it if:
You are counting on the 2024 close: it was 25,740 in 2024 and 35,404 in 2025, so one year tells you little.
You want branch-wise pay before you choose: the college publishes one median for all UG branches, so there is no AI and DS figure to check.
Biotechnology (Biotech)
60 seats. Closes at 63,715 for OC in TNEA 2025.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is past 49,672: Biotech closed at 63,715 in TNEA 2025, so it is the B.Tech seat that keeps you at RTC.
You want a small class: it has 60 seats, the smallest B.Tech intake on the campus.
You want some study time abroad: the college brochure marks Biotech with its Global Immersion Programme, the only B.Tech branch it marks.
Skip it if:
You want a campus job in a biotech firm: the college publishes no biotech recruiter list, and the big offers in its brochure all went to computing and electronics students.
You are counting on the 2024 close: Biotech closed at 49,105 in 2024 and 63,715 in 2025, so the close moves a lot each year.
Counsellor's advice
If your TNEA OC rank is inside 35,404, list AI and DS first, then IT, then Biotech. If it sits past 49,672, put Biotech first; IT above it only helps in a later round, and it costs INR 20,000 more over four years.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 subjects: Maths and Physics, plus one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or another subject TNEA lists.
Class 12 marks: 45% on average in the three subjects for OC, 40% for BC, BCM and MBC, 35% for SC, SCA and ST.
Exam needed: None. TNEA ranks you on your Class 12 marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
Same rule, every branch: AI and DS, IT and Biotech all use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.
Management seats: The college fills its own share of seats directly, outside TNEA, on the same marks rule.
B.Tech Admission Process▾
Register for TNEA: Apply online in May, pay the form fee and upload your Class 12 and community papers.
Get your rank: TNEA turns your Maths, Physics and Chemistry marks into a score out of 200 and ranks you on it.
Fill your branch order: In your round, list RTC's branches under code 2329 in the order you want them, best first.
Accept and pay: Confirm the allotted seat, then pay the fee at the college within the days on the order.
Report at the college: Bring your originals for the document check. Management seats are filled by the college itself.

KIT closes a little earlier in AI and DS and reports a lower median of INR 6.4 LPA. If your rank clears both, weigh KIT's tougher close against RTC's higher reported median.
In short
Dr NGP IT closes about 4,000 places earlier in AI and DS and reports a median of INR 3 LPA. If you get both, RTC's reported median and placement rate are the stronger pair.
In short
KGISL is the toughest of the five to get in AI and DS, but reports the lowest median and a 77% placement rate. If pay matters most to you, RTC's figures are better.
In short
Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan closes about 35,000 places later in AI and DS, so it takes ranks RTC does not. If your rank misses RTC, list it right below.

FAQs on Rathinam Technical Campus B.Tech

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get a B.Tech seat at RTC?▾
Register for TNEA in May with your Class 12 marks. TNEA ranks you, and in your counselling round you list RTC's branches under code 2329. Accept the seat, pay the fee at the college and report with your original papers.
Is the fee the same for every branch?▾
No. AI and DS and Biotech cost INR 2.05 Lakhs for four years without hostel, and IT costs INR 2.25 Lakhs because it is NBA accredited. The fee block above shows both groups.
Which B.Tech branch is the easiest to get here?▾
Biotechnology. It closed at 63,715 for OC in TNEA 2025, against 49,672 for IT and 35,404 for AI and DS.
Have the closing ranks changed over the years?▾
Yes, and they move a lot. The OC close in AI and DS was 25,740 in 2024 and 35,404 in 2025. IT went from 43,421 to 49,672, and Biotech from 49,105 to 63,715.
Does RTC publish placement figures by branch?▾
No. Its NIRF data gives one set of figures for all UG branches: a median of INR 9.5 LPA and 384 of 399 graduates placed in 2025. There is no separate B.Tech or branch figure.
What does the hostel cost?▾
For 2026-27, a year 2 room with food and laundry costs INR 83,700 in a dorm and up to INR 2,25,000 in a two-sharing room. The college has not put the first-year rate on its hostel fee page.
Is Agricultural Engineering still offered?▾
No. The college asked AICTE to close B.Tech Agricultural Engineering from 2026-27, and its 2026-27 brochure lists only AI and DS, IT and Biotechnology.
Is there help for first graduates?▾
Yes. If no one in your family has a degree, the state takes INR 25,000 a year off your tuition on a TNEA seat. You need the No Graduate certificate from the revenue office.
