Hi Aspirant!

To get a seat in CSE in VIT Vellore campus, candidate must have rank under 5000 and for IT seat he/she must have rank under 9000  under category 1 (based on previous years records). But as you memtioned that you get rank around 17k , then yes you can still get CSE or IT in VIT Vellore campus but in category 3 or 4 not in category 1 or 2. Or else, you can try getting seat in other campus might be Chennai!

Thankyou!
