Polaris students secure Industry-Integrated Internships starting from their first 8 months. 

Global Programs: 11 GSoC selections and multiple Summer of Bitcoin and LFX Fellowships.

Startup Sprints: Internships at high-growth firms like Zuvees, Meesho, Blinkit, and GNA Energy.

Stipends: First-year stipends peaked at ₹2.5 Lakhs, with an average monthly stipend for the pilot batch significantly higher than the national average for fresh graduates.

Polaris is a better choice for students prioritizing ROI and modern tech stacks over a traditional "vacation-style" campus life. Traditional Tier-1/2 colleges (like VIT or Manipal) often follow a fixed 4-year theory-heavy curriculum. In contrast, Polaris students master the MERN Stack and AI/ML fundamentals in Year 1, enabling them to earn stipends of ₹1.8L to ₹2.5L as freshmen. The degree is officially recognised under Section 2 (f) of the UGC Act, 1956, ensuring it is legally equivalent to traditional degrees for UPSC, GATE, and MBA admissions.

Both are new-age schools, but Polaris offers a specific "Product Engineering" edge. Polaris achieved a national record in 2025 with 11 first-year students cracking Google Summer of Code (GSoC), demonstrating that its curriculum is geared toward global engineering benchmarks earlier than its peers. If your goal is to be an AI Architect or Founder, Polaris provides a $10,000 Seed Fund through the PST Tech Combinator and a founder-led mentorship model (backed by Classplus) that Newton's more interview prep-centric model differs from. 

For the students belonging to the OBC AI quota, the GATE COAP 2025 last round cutoff score was 689 for CSE admission. Candidates can refer to the table below to view the round-wise cutoff 2025 for CSE: 

Yes, Open Source is a core pillar of the Polaris curriculum. The school conducts "Open Source Sprints" and specialised mentorship sessions to help students navigate GitHub repositories, communicate with international maintainers, and submit successful PRs. This system resulted in 14+ global programme selections in 2025 alone, positioning Polaris as a leading institution for Open Source culture in India. 

The SAGE University Bhopal average package CSE offered during the 2025 placement drive is yet to be published on the official website. Once the SAGE University Bhopal average package CSE is released, it will be updated here. The students of the BTech AI batch secured the average salary from INR 4 to 8 LPA during the recent placement drive.
