Ans: Raman Sir, Your daughter should strategically wait for Amrita University's second counselling list while keeping VIT Vellore Civil Engineering as backup option (please check the REFUND Policy thoroughly in case of seat withdrawal) . With AEEE rank 16,800, she has reasonable chances for ECE at Amrita Chennai campus (cutoff 70-93% percentile for home state), which offers 96.51% placement rates compared to VIT Civil's 70% placement rate . The significant career advantage of ECE over Civil Engineering, with 94-98% placement rates versus 70%, justifies the calculated risk of waiting for the second list . If Amrita admission doesn't materialize, VIT Vellore Civil provides a solid backup with institutional reputation and decent placement support, though career growth will require additional skill development in emerging technologies . Recommendation: Wait for Amrita University second list targeting ECE at Chennai campus while maintaining VIT Vellore Civil as secure fallback, as the potential career benefits of ECE (96% placement rate) significantly outweigh the admission risk compared to accepting Civil Engineering immediately. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
