Top colleges in India which offers B.Tech programme without JEE Mains entrance exams include:

VIT Vellore (It has its own university entrance exam)

SRM Institute of Science and technology (admission Via SRMJEE)

BITS Pilani (admission Via BITSAT)

Shiv Nadar university, Noida (admission Via SNUSAT or based on 12th boards and interviews.

The fee for B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science varies depending on the college. In reputed private institutes like SRM, VIT, or Amrita University, the annual tuition fee ranges from two Lacs to three Lacs rupees, excluding hostel charges. Government or state-funded universities may offer the same programme for fifty thousand to one Lacs rupees annually. This branch is highly in demand due to its focus on AI, machine learning, and data-driven technologies with excellent placement prospects.

The All India Rank (AIR) cutoff for B.Tech in CSE varies by college and category. For top NITs or IIITs, the CSE cutoff for general category usually closes around 10,000 to 20,000 AIR. For decent private colleges, it can go much higher, even up to 2.5–3 lakh AIR. Exact cutoffs depend on the college, quota, and competition each year.

To get into BML Munjal for B.Tech CSE, you'll need at least 60% in your Class 12 boards (with PCM + English) and a JEE Main percentile of 55 or above. But realistically, if you want to be safe, aim for over 60 percentile. They also consider CUET and BMU-SAT scores, so you've got options. The cutoff isn't insanely high, but the competition is picking up each year.

With 94 percentage in 12th standard which is exceptionally great you can get admission to various good colleges in Chennai for pursuing Bachelor's in Technology BTech in colleges which includes Anna University, SRM Institute of Science & Technology, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai Institute of Technology, Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, also you can take admission to the IIT Madras but for that you'll have to get a exceptionally good rank in JEE Advance entrance exam.

With 981/1000 in intermediate, consider these government engineering colleges:

- *IITs, NITs, and other colleges*: Check JEE Main/Advanced cutoffs

- *AI/ML colleges*: Like JNTUHCEH (TS EAMCET cutoff rank 55728-151482)

Focus on:

- *JEE Main/TS EAMCET*: Perform well

- *Class 12 marks*: For direct admission in some colleges like SASTRA University's Stream 2.

You haven't mentioned any specific college whose cutoff ranks you want to know, so the information is provided on the basis of good  B Tech colleges which offers Computer Science Engineering branch because the rank varies depending on the institutions competency. Usually the closing rank for top IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi or IIT Madras closes lower than 150. While for newer & low cutoff colleges like IIT Bhilai IIT Goa the rank ranges from 3000-6000, whereas for NITs it goes a little low high between 10,000-15,000.

If you have not appeared for any entrance exam to get admission in B.Tech course you'll need to apply for colleges who offers their own entrance exam or direct admission.

I've mentioned some good private colleges who give direct admission or conducts their own entrance exam it includes Birla institute of technology and Science, BITS Pilani, Vellore Institute of Technology VIT, SRM, Manipal institute of technology, Amity University, Chandigarh University and Symbiosis Institute of Technology.
