Which B.Tech branch should you pick at Excel?
Branch
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI&DS)
180 seats. Closes at 1,41,552 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.82 LPA average pay, 80% of those who sat placed.
Pick it if:
You want data and AI work from campus: KGIS, ITC Infotech and Tap Academy hired AI&DS students in 2025-26, and two AI&DS offers reached INR 7 LPA.
You want the best placement share of the two software branches: 88 of the 110 AI&DS students who sat got an offer in 2025-26, against 124 of 177 in IT.
Your OC rank misses the IT close: AI&DS closed later, at 1,41,552 in TNEA 2025, so list it right after IT.
Skip it if:
You want an NBA accredited branch: AI&DS is not NBA accredited yet, so a TNEA seat pays INR 50,000 a year, the same as IT.
You plan on last year's close alone: AI&DS closed at 1,23,891 in 2024 and 1,41,552 in 2025, so the close moves a lot from year to year.
Information Technology (IT)
240 seats. Closes at 1,20,542 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.76 LPA average pay, 70% of those who sat placed.
Pick it if:
You want a software job straight from campus: Q Spider, Nyera, Gradtwin and CubeAI Solutions made the most IT offers in the 2025-26 placement record.
You want the biggest batch and the most seniors: IT has 240 seats, more than any other B.Tech branch at this college.
Your OC rank is well inside 1,20,542: IT closed there in TNEA 2025, the toughest close of the five branches, so it fills first.
Skip it if:
You expect every IT student to get placed: 124 of the 177 IT students who sat for placement got an offer in 2025-26.
You want a first offer above INR 6 LPA: the best IT offer in 2025-26 was INR 6 LPA, and the middle IT offer was INR 2.5 LPA.
Agricultural Engineering (Agricultural)
60 seats. Closes at 1,77,909 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.64 LPA average pay, 100% of those who sat placed.
Pick it if:
You want farm machinery and agri firm jobs: IGO Agri Tech, TAFE and Vinay Poultry Farm made most of the 53 Agricultural offers in 2025-26.
You want an NBA accredited branch: Agricultural is the only NBA accredited B.Tech branch here, so its TNEA seat fee is INR 55,000 a year.
You want a sure offer if you sit for placement: all 53 Agricultural students who sat for placement got an offer in 2025-26.
Skip it if:
You want the lowest fee: Agricultural costs INR 20,000 more over four years than the other four branches.
You want an office job in a city: most Agricultural offers in 2025-26 came from farm machinery, poultry and agri firms, not software companies.
Food Technology
60 seats. Closes at 1,33,830 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 1.85 LPA average pay, 100% of those who sat placed.
Pick it if:
You want jobs in food plants: Lotte India in Chennai and Britannia at Perundurai made most of the Food Technology offers in 2025-26.
You want a sure offer if you sit for placement: all 40 Food Technology students who sat for placement got placed in 2025-26.
Your OC rank misses IT: Food Technology closed at 1,33,830 in TNEA 2025, second only to IT among the five branches.
Skip it if:
You want pay above INR 2.5 LPA: the Food Technology average was INR 1.85 LPA in 2025-26, the lowest of the five branches.
You want a large class: Food Technology has 60 seats, a quarter of the IT intake.
Petrochemical Technology (Petrochemical)
60 seats. Closes at 1,90,316 for OC in TNEA 2025. INR 2.56 LPA average pay, 56% of those who sat placed.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is beyond every other B.Tech close here: Petrochemical closed last, at 1,90,316 in TNEA 2025, so it is the seat that keeps you at this college.
You want paint and process plant jobs: PPG Asian Paints, Gram Envosolutions and Bhavani Tools hired Petrochemical students in 2025-26.
You want a small class: Petrochemical had the smallest final-year batch of the five branches in 2025-26.
Skip it if:
You want a high placement share: only 5 of the 9 Petrochemical students who sat for placement got an offer in 2025-26.
You want a large alumni group: Petrochemical is the newest B.Tech branch here, started in 2021, so it has few alumni yet.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank clears IT, lock IT first and AI&DS next. If it falls between 1,33,830 and 1,77,909, list Food Technology before Agricultural. Petrochemical closes last, so keep it at the end of your list.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 subjects: Maths, Physics and Chemistry are a must.

Placement insights
The biggest software recruiters were Nyera, Q Spider and CubeAI Solutions; Zoho and ITC Infotech hired only a handful.
Only 3 of the 339 B.Tech offers were above INR 5 LPA, so the average sits close to the median.
Placed B.Tech students rose from 214 of 295 who sat in 2024-25 to 310 of 389 in 2025-26.
Food Technology placed all 40 who sat but averaged INR 1.85 LPA, while AI&DS averaged INR 2.82 LPA.
Many core offers came from firms near the campus, such as Britannia at Perundurai and Vinay Poultry Farm in Namakkal.
Good to know
The placement cell trains students in aptitude, verbal skills and interviews before the drives.
The record counts offers, so one student can hold more than one offer.
Students who chose not to sit for placement are left out of the placed share.
The pay figures are worked out from each company's yearly pay in the college's record.

In short
Mahendra's IT closed about 5,000 ranks later but its AI&DS about 17,000 ranks tougher. If your rank clears both colleges, the state sets the same TNEA seat fee, so pick on the branch you want.
In short
Paavai's AI&DS is much tougher to get, but its IT offered more TNEA seats and closed later. If your rank misses AI&DS here, Paavai will not help; for IT it is a fair second choice.
In short
Gnanamani closed later in every branch listed here, so it is easier to get into. If your rank misses this college's closes, keep Gnanamani one step below it in your list.
In short
Sengunthar's IT and AI&DS closed earlier, with far fewer TNEA seats, and it has no Agricultural branch. If your rank clears Sengunthar, it is the tougher seat; if not, this college is the likelier one.
