Hello Student,

A rank of 17000 is a good rank for st category. The competition increases more and more and hence, the need for scoring higher marks and scores keep increasing more and more. CBIT and vasavi college can be got into, with this score since you belong to st category and some other universities as well.

There are some other universities into which you have a good chance of getting into.  Hence I would suggest you to apply for other universities.

Some other good universities with this rank would be:

1. SRM University, Chennai

2. SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur

3. Andhra University, Andhra Pradesh
