Computer Science and Engineering

The branch-wise the highest packages offered to the batch 2025 are yet to be released on the offcial website. Earlier, the students of the BTech CSE batch 2023 secured the the highest package of INR 1.5 Crore per annum. 

D.Y Patil International University, Pune offers decent placements annually to its BTech CSE students. The students of the BTech CSE batch 2025 secured the average salary of INR 7 LPA. The overall School of CSE & Application batch 2025 secured the highest package of INR 27 LPA. 

The BTech in Computer Science and Engineering course at Prestige Institute of Management & Research has a seat intake of 180 seats. These seats are divided equally among the standard BTech in CSE course and its two sub specialisations offered by Prestige Institute of Management & Research. Each of these courses have a seat intake of 60.

Polaris attracts a highly competitive peer group through its Polaris Admission Test (PAT) and founder interviews, which filter for a "Builder Mindset." In 2025, the batch included students who left JEE coaching to pursue hands-on engineering, leading to a culture where 45% of the batch contributes to global Open Source. The peer group is geographically diverse (90% from outside Karnataka) and is deeply integrated with the Bangalore startup ecosystem through weekly fireside chats with CTOs and VCs. 

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.
