Can you tell me which branch preference should I fill in VIT 2020 counselling accorrding to scope and placements?

You haven't mentioned the rank you have scored in the rank list. This is important because the seats are allotted on the basis of the rank and the merit. Nevertheless, irrespective of the Stream, VIT boasts of nearly 100% placements every year. More than 700 companies attended the Campus Interviews and gave away offers to the Candidates belonging to various streams. The highest package offered was 41.6 lakhs per annum by Microsoft followed by Work India with 40 lakhs per annum. You can check the detailed list of placements at the official website: https://vit.ac.in/placements/overview . But to give you a fair idea of the specialisations that are always the front runners in VIT, here you go:

1. Computer Science

2. Mechanical Engineering

3. IT

4. ECE

5. Biotechnology

These 5 branches are the most sought after specializations in VIT. They have Doctoral Faculty and this makes the teaching and imparting knowledge more wider. And Artificial Intelligence, Soft Computing, Image Processing are taught by the best in the field.

Let me advice something to you. Never do something which you do not like. Never choose preferences like this. Noone can tell you your preferences, they can only tell theirs. Every branch has very much scope if you work hard. So go for what you like. This is a 4-year course. You will be better of in a field which you like than in sulking 4 years in a field which you do not like but took only for the sake that it was the thing being talked about the most.

Good luck!
