VIT Chennai All Questions

Hello,

With a 40,000 rank in VITEEE, getting ECE in VIT Chennai might be a bit difficult since the competition for that campus and branch is usually quite high. The cutoff for ECE in Chennai generally closes within the first 20–25k ranks.

However, you can still get a good chance in other VIT campuses like VIT Vellore (through lower-demand branches), VIT Bhopal, or VIT-AP. You can also consider trying for ECE in these campuses since their cutoffs are usually more flexible.

It’s always better to attend counselling and check for seat availability  sometimes, ranks close higher depending on the number of applicants that year.

Thank you

All the best

Hello,

Yes, with 90.5% in class 12th board examination and average 87% in PCM, your daughter has a high chance to get admission to the Integrated MTech course at VIT Chennai, and she can get branches with high demand.

Generally, VIT offers admission to the integrated programs based on Class 12 marks (Merit-based selection) rather than any entrance exams. The cutoff for Integrated MTech usually ranges between 80–90% in PCM, depending on the specialization and seat availability.

So, your daughter can get seat in VIT Chennai.

All the best.

Hi!

With a rank of 68,975 in VITEEE, getting CSE in VIT Chennai is unlikely — its CSE cut-off is usually within the top 20,000–25,000 ranks. However:

• VIT Bhopal: Yes, you have a good chance of getting CSE.
• VIT Amaravati: Also possible for CSE at your rank.

Both Bhopal and Amaravati campuses are newer but still offer good facilities, industry tie-ups, and placements. If location is not a big factor for you, these campuses can be a smart choice to get your desired branch.

Thank you, and all the best for your admission!

Hey Aruna:)

Thanks for reaching out!

Both are strong in their own fields,the better choice depends on whether you prefer electronics or software

IIIT ECE(VLSI and Embedded system)

Focuses on chip design, embedded systems,and hardware-software integration. Placement are solid in semiconductor and electronics firms(slightly lower average than CSE packages)but has stable niche roles and the campus is more academic and research-oriented

VIT CSE-AI

You'll learn coding,AI,data science and machine learning. placements are in IT and software companies, with generally higher average salaries .Campus life is vibrant with fests, clubs and activities.

Choose IIIT if you want a niche career with stable growth

Choose VIT for software careers and an active campus experience .

Hope you'll find this helpful!

Dear aspirant,

Well, for placements, a B.Tech in IT/CSE from VIT Chennai is often considered a better option for placements than a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Thapar. While Thapar has a good reputation, VIT Chennai's strong placement record in IT/CSE, especially with higher packages, often makes it a more better choice for students pursuing these fields.

Thank you.

Hello,

Between VIT Chennai and SRM Kattankulathur for Electronics Engineering with VLSI specialisation, VIT Chennai is generally better in terms of:

• Placements: VIT has a slightly better placement record, especially for core electronics and VLSI roles.

• Core companies: More core and semiconductor companies like Intel, NXP, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments tend to visit VIT (mostly Vellore, but some do come to Chennai as well).

• Reputation: VIT has better industry recognition and alumni network in the core field.

So, if you are focused on VLSI and core job roles, VIT Chennai is a better option than SRM Kattankulathur .

Hope it helps !

With a VITEEE 2025 rank of 54,067, your prospects for securing ECE (Electronics & Communication Engineering) or EEE (Electrical & Electronics Engineering) at VIT Chennai under Category 3 fall into the “possible but not guaranteed” range. Statistically, EEE tends to have a slightly higher cutoff than ECE, so your chances there are marginally better. Securing ECE is more competitive, and would likely require the cutoff to shift higher than in previous years.

Should Category 3 not be available to you, Categories 4 and 5 remain options, though these will involve a significantly higher fee structure.

Recommended steps:

- Actively participate in Phase 2 counselling. Early engagement can make a difference.

- Prioritize ECE as your first choice, with EEE as a backup, and submit your Chennai campus preferences promptly.

Please bear in mind that Category 3 fees are substantially higher than those for Categories 1 or 2. Seat allocation also varies annually, based on applicant numbers, their preferences, and dropout rates.

If your son’s first preference is CSE, then Amrita Bangalore clearly leads among the three, simply because CSE opens more doors in terms of placements, internships, and future-proof careers. Amrita is also NAAC A++ and has a strong reputation, especially for CSE. Category 2 is also manageable fee-wise compared to higher categories.

VIT Chennai is a decent campus, and their ECE program is solid, but Category 5 means much higher fees and very low chance of branch upgrade later. CSE at VIT Chennai would have been more competitive here — but ECE at that fee tier is not as strong a deal unless your son has a strong interest in core electronics.

Manipal Bangalore (MIT Bengaluru campus) is a newer campus. ECE there is still developing in terms of placements and faculty compared to the main Manipal campus. Unless your son strongly prefers Bangalore or is getting some advantage here like scholarships or internship access, it doesn't stand out above Amrita.

So, recommendation: Go with Amrita Bangalore CSE (Category 2). It balances a strong branch with a decent campus and better long-term potential in the tech industry. If your son is open to core electronics and you’re okay with the higher cost, VIT Chennai is fine, but still comes second to CSE at Amrita.

All the best!

Hello Aspirant,

Pursuing a CSE branch (like AI, Data Science, Cybersecurity etc.) at VIT Chennai with a 74,000 VITEEE rank is unlikely in the first few rounds as these branches have high demand and close in the earlier round around the top 30,000 - 50,000 ranks typically. Your chances could improve in later rounds or through a Category Upgrade, depending on the availability of seats and cut-off trends for the current year. Keep an eye on the official updates for the counselling and also on the other campuses or check for other branches like IT or core CSE which you might be open to. VITEEE cutoff 2025

Hello Alok,

After uploading your admit card and marksheet on the VIT Chennai portal, the next step like uploading your ID photo usually appears within a few hours to a couple of days.

The exact time can vary depending on the admission portal’s processing and verification. Sometimes, the portal updates in batches, so you might need to wait 1 to 3 days for the next option to become visible.

If the ID photo upload option does not appear even after 3 days, it is advisable to contact VIT Chennai’s admission helpdesk for assistance.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
