Hello Sir, My cousin is in Bangalore and he scored, 93.3% in JEE mains, 80% in CBSC, his CET and comedk scores are not that great- over1 lack and 80k. We have secured CSE and related seats in VIT-AP cat-3 and cat-4 and in VIP Bhopal -cat 2. What do you suggest, shall we look for comedk collages outside Bangalore or go for VIT.. What should be the priority.. thanks
Ans: Hello Madam,

My suggestion would be to prioritize VIT over lower-tier COMEDK colleges.

Since the JEE Main percentile is 93.3%, but the KCET rank (1 lakh+) and COMEDK rank (80k) are not competitive enough, it is difficult to get top Bengaluru colleges, like Ramaiah Institute of Technology, BMS College of Engineering, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, or Bangalore Institute of Technology.

Between the available options:

VIT Bhopal (Category 2) is a better choice than VIT-AP Category 3/4, especially if the branch is CSE or a CSE specialization.
It is still worth participating in COMEDK counselling, but only if there is a realistic chance of getting a decent college such as Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, CMR Institute of Technology, or similar. I would not recommend choosing a lower-tier COMEDK college over VIT just because it is in Bengaluru.

So the priority would be:

Good COMEDK college (if one becomes available in later rounds)
VIT Bhopal Category 2 (CSE/CSE specialization)
VIT-AP Category 3/4

The final decision should depend on the exact branch offered and the total four-year cost, but based on the current options, VIT seems to be the safer and stronger choice.

Wishing you very best.

Warm Regards
KK
