Hello,

Holding a rank of 34,378 in AP EAMCET 2025 within the SC category, you possess a reasonable opportunity to gain admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at VIT-AP (Vellore Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh campus). VIT carries out its admission process mainly via VITEEE, but it also provides seats through AP EAMCET counselling for a restricted number of places under the state quota. In past years, the cutoff ranks for CSE at VIT-AP for SC category candidates have ranged from 40,000 to 45,000, influenced by seat availability and the level of competition each year.

As your rank falls within that range, you should certainly engage in the counselling process and carefully specify your preferences. To enhance your prospects, you could also think about choosing associated fields such as CSE with specializations (AI/ML, Data Science) or IT if core CSE appears to be competitive. Monitor counselling rounds and trends in cut-offs as they develop.

Hope this helps. All the best!

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,

VIT Vellore and MIT Manipal are both premier private engineering schools in India, especially for Computer Science and Engineering. Here is a brief comparison you can consider before making your final decision:

• VIT Vellore is a bigger and more diverse peer group, has good infrastructure and placement statistics with high package opportunities, especially from product based companies. It also has a Fully Flexible Credit System from their current academic session FFCS allows students to choose the maximum number of courses, independent to number of classes, at the beginning of each semester.
• MIT Manipal has been in existence for over four decades, is more research-oriented, well-balanced student life on campus, and has good collaborations with various international institutions. MIT Manipal is also reputed in its CSE department with a consistent placement record and good campus culture.

In conclusion, both institutions are excellent institutions. Pick based on what you appreciate in an educational experience, desired career trajectory, individual learning style preference, and environment support that you need to flourish on campus.

With a percentile of 91.05 in MHT CET, your chances of getting a tech branch at VIT Pune are fair but depend on a few key factors, including the specific branch you want, your category, and your home university region.

VIT Pune is one of the top private engineering colleges in Maharashtra, and branches like Computer Engineering, IT, and AI-ML are highly competitive. For these branches, the closing percentiles for the general category often fall around 96 to 98, especially under the open category from the home region. If you belong to a reserved category or are applying under a different region quota, your chances may improve slightly.

However, for slightly less competitive branches such as Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Instrumentation, or Mechanical, your percentile could be within the closing range in later CAP rounds. VIT Pune also sees fluctuation in cutoffs each year based on demand and seat vacancies, so participating in all rounds of CAP counselling, including the spot round, will be important.

In short, admission to core branches like CS or IT is difficult at 91.05 percentile in open category, but you may have a chance in allied or emerging tech branches depending on the trends this year and your specific quota.

All the best!

Hello student,

These branches are very competitive and typically require higher percentiles, even for reserved categories.

It is highly unlikely to get Computer Science (CS), AI/ML, or similar branches at RAIT with a 51 percentile in MHT CET, especially as an SC candidate from Maharashtra.

Consider exploring less competitive branches like IT, Data Science, or other engineering fields at RAIT or other colleges.

If you get admission to a less competitive branch, you can explore the possibility of internal branch changes later based on your performance.

Thank you!!

Hello Aspirant,

Having a rank of 9973 in EAMCET under EWS means you can possibly get into Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) in VIT-AP; that will also depend on the cutoffs for this year based on from previous year's cutoffs. In previous years, candidates with ranks in the range of 10,000–12,000 have also gotten ECE, especially in the last rounds. The best way is to go through all the counselling rounds and keep some backup options. Check here for more information: AP EAPCET 2025 College Predictor

Hello Rahul,

Yes, if your VITEEE rank is at 18,000, you have a decent chance of getting a seat for EEE (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) at VIT-AP (Amaravati) campus when you attend the counselling, and take into consideration the overall cut-off ranks at VIT-AP for EEE are higher (i.e. easier with lower cut-off ranks) than at VIT Vellore or VIT Chennai, but realize it also depends on available seats and competition that year. You should register for entertainment purposes, and put down VIT-AP as one of your choices. Check here for more information: VIT AP cut-off 2025

Hi Mukta,

Both the VIT Vellore and Manipal University Jaipur are excellent in their own branches of CS AI/ML in VIT and CSE in MUJ. However, the difference does exist if we compare further.

• VIT Vellore carries more reputation of being a renowned institute for engineering and thus offers better placements with slightly higher package.
• Manipal University Jaipur is much newly established as compared to VIT but also has placement exposure to MNC giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google etc.
• VIT is much more cost effective when it comes fee structure with total fees of B.Tech to be around 9 lakhs where as 15 lakhs of MUJ.
• The MUJ has best in class infrastructure as comparatively better infrastructure.

You should now decide based on your own preferences, you should also look which one is closer to your home for better reachability.

ALL THE BEST !

The cutoff for PCB CET 2025 refers to the minimum marks needed to qualify for counselling and admissions in courses like Pharmacy Agriculture and related fields In the PCB group candidates from the general category needed to score around 75 to 90 out of 200 marks while OBC and EWS category candidates generally needed around 70 to 85 SC candidates could qualify with scores between 55 and 65 and ST candidates around 45 to 55 These figures indicate the minimum score ranges based on expected cutoffs which vary by category Candidates scoring above these ranges are likely to qualify for the next admission rounds including seat allotment under CAP counselling at their respective colleges

Dear student

Sure

It’s great that you’re planning to get clarity on undergraduate options between SNU VIT and Manipal These are strong choices and comparing them carefully will help you make the right decision
