Question by Piyush on May 27, 2025

Good Afternoon Sir, my daughter has got theough VIT Vellore CSE core in category 5. She might also get thru NIT in Mechanical or Chemical branch as we are from Chhattisgarh. Kindly suggest

Ans: Piyush Sir, Your daughter has secured admission to VIT Vellore for CSE (Category 5), which offers excellent placement opportunities with average packages around ?9.9 LPA and top recruiters like Microsoft and Amazon. However, Category 5 fees are high, approximately ?5 lakh per year.

As a home state candidate from Chhattisgarh, she also has good chances of admission to NITs in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering through home state reservation. These branches offer solid education with average packages of ?6-8 LPA and lower fees (around ?1-2 lakh per year).

If her priority is Computer Science with strong industry exposure and higher salary potential, VIT Vellore is a great choice despite higher fees. If budget is a concern and she is open to core branches, NITs provide quality education with government funding and good placements.

Recommendation: Weigh branch preference, career goals, and financial feasibility carefully. Participating in NIT counselling alongside VIT admission will help make an informed decision. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Good Afternoon Sir, my daughter has got 7700 rank in comedk, she already has PES aiml and vit cse. Should we try for comedk counselling. Can we get some better option with comedk

Ans: PES which campus RR or EC? VIT Which Category? Prefer PES-RR Campus. If VIT Category is beyond 2, have COMEDK also as 2nd option. If you hold the seat in VIT by paying the fee, please check its REFUND POLICY carefully. As far as 7700 Rank in COMEDK is concerned, here are the list of colleges/other information for your daughter's rank:
Prioritize NMIT, CMRIT, or BMSIT for robust placements and academic rigor. Opt for DBIT or SIT if seeking a balanced campus environment. Confirm branch-specific cutoffs during COMEDK counselling and monitor spot rounds for upgrades.

Good Morning Sir, VIT CSE Category 5, PES RR campus through JEE (Fee 5L), Comedk rank of 7703 are the options available. Through Comedk we will get comparatively lower fee options. My prime interest is academics, internship and placement opportunities. I would prefer future prospects over fee also. Pls suggest

Ans: Prefer PES-RR-ECE over others, if fee is affordable. Or try through COMKEDK by filling the choices beginning from Top collges - RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT etc. (though chances are less) then continue with other colleges such as DSCE, BIT, CMRIT etc.
