B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science 

at S.A. Engineering College, Thiruverkadu

Yes, S.A. Engineering College offers direct admission options, primarily through its management quota. This allows students who may not have high scores in competitive exams to still secure a seat, typically with different fee structures compared to merit-based admissions. For direct admission, students usually need to meet the basic eligibility requirements, like passing their 12th-grade exams with specified marks in relevant subjects. The process for management quota seats involves applying directly to the college and often includes an interview or counseling session.

S.A. Engineering College primarily accepts the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counseling process for admission to its B.Tech programs, which does not require an entrance exam but instead considers students' 12th-grade marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. For students from outside Tamil Nadu or for those interested in specific quotas, they may accept other national-level exams, but this varies year by year and often depends on the college's admissions policies. Additionally, management quota seats may not require an entrance exam, offering a different route for admission.

For the 2024 B.Tech admissions at S.A. Engineering College, students typically need to apply through Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) as the college participates in this counseling process. The general application window closes in early August, with specific dates for document submission and counseling sessions scheduled thereafter. Deadlines may vary based on the TNEA rounds and are updated periodically on the college's admissions portal.
