So, you've got seven undergraduate engineering programs to choose from. There are the classic branches like civil, cse, and mechanical. But what's really interesting is that they also offer new age programs like IT and importantly artificial intelligence and data science. That shows they're keeping up with what the industry wants right now. Across all those seven branches, the total number of students they can take in each year as approved by AICTE is 480.
