Hi,

Choosing between IIIT ECE with VLSI & Embedded Systems and VIT Chennai CSE-AI depends on your career goals. If you’re interested in hardware design, chip manufacturing, and embedded systems IoT, robotics, electronics R&D , ECE with VLSI is future-proof demand for chip engineers is growing with India’s semiconductor push. However, if you love coding, machine learning, and software development, CSE-AI offers a broader IT career path with booming demand in AI/ML fields. Placement stats also matter VIT has strong industry links for IT roles, while IIITs often have niche but high-paying core electronics placements. Also compare location, fees, and alumni network. If unsure, check if your interest leans more toward circuits or code that usually decides the fit.

Thank you, and best wishes for your decision

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 !

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 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 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.

Yes, VIT Chennai offers a B.Sc. in Visual Communication under its School of Media, Arts and Technology.

Duration: 3 years

Eligibility: 60% in 12th (any stream)

Admission: Based on 12th marks, no entrance exam

Fees: Around 1,28,000 per year

It covers TV, film, photography, advertising, and more. Great for a career in media and communication.

You can acquire Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at VIT Chennai if your VITEEE rank is 33,608, but only if you fall into one of the higher fee-paying groups, such as Category 4 or Category 5.  At VIT Chennai, the anticipated cutoff for ECE is up to 45,000 for Category 5 and up to 38,000 for Category 4.  You are qualified for ECE in Category 4 or 5 through counseling, but lower categories (1–3) are improbable at this level.

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!
