Scholarship & Hostel Available
KARE offers on-campus hostel facilities and scholarship support for eligible students. Heads up: the Srivilliputhur campus is serene and fully residential, but it’s not a metro city — so off-campus internships and city networking will need extra planning.
The verdict
Good fit
This is a solid pick if you want a dedicated AI & Data Science degree from an NAAC A++, NIRF top-30 institution without paying metro-tier fees. The 88% placement rate and recruiter mix — from mass IT giants to niche analytics/product firms like Zoho, Freshworks, and Tiger Analytics — offer decent runway. The trade-off is location: Srivilliputhur is not a tech hub, so you’ll need to hustle harder for off-campus internships and city exposure compared to Chennai or Bangalore grads.
