Dear aspirant,

It really depends on you what you want to choose as these are core branches . If you are good with chemistry then I would suggest you to take up chemical engineering branch but if you are good with mathematics and physics then do take up mechanical engineering branch.

So, one can't say that which branch is good. Both these are core branches. But yes, if placements are considered and in an average college mechanical has better placements compared to chemical candidates.

For example, I am now in nit jamshedpur in mechanical branch and its core branches is comparable to the top nits and it's median package for mechanical currently stays between 7-7.5L but for metallurgy its a bit less and usually stays between 6L.

Nope! After Diploma in Mechanical Engineering you can pursue BTech in Mechanical Engineering via Lateral entry examination but not in BSc-CS. For BSc you need to have passed 10+2 with Mathematics and Physics/ComputerScience/Statistics/Electronics. Now if you have joined diploma after 10 then you have to pursue 12 and if you have passed 12 and joined Diploma then you have to take admission in year 1 of BSc-CS course. BSc CS is a three year UG course.

Hi Aspirant!

The cutoff for each branch/course offered in VIT varies every year depending on the factors such as:

• The difficulty level of the VITEEE examination.

• Number of candidates who appeared in the exam.

• Previous year VITEEE cutoff trends for Btech

• Total number of seats on which admissions are offered

But I can  give you a rough idea on the basis of previous years records:

• to get a seat in CSE course in VIT Vellore, you must secure rank around 6000 and to get a seat in VIT Chennai you can get seat upto 14k rank.
• For electrical and electronics engineering you must rank around 14k for Vellore campus and for chennai campus rank around 30,000.
• Mechanical engineering: Vellore campus- around 20k for Chennai campus around 30k
• Civil engineering: Vellore campus - around 35,000 and for Chennai campus around 40,000
