Hi, My son is in doing B.Arch in final year. He wants to do BIM software course. Will this be helpful in his carrier.

Ans: Chances of CSE are very slim to nil. However, ECE may still be possible in Categories 4–5, depending on the counselling round and seat availability. It is better to have an alternative ready as a backup.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances of VIT Vellore/Chennai seem slim. But you may get it at VIT-AP / Bhopal, depending on the counselling round and seat availability.

Good luck.

Ans: At AEEE rank 9,918, Coimbatore CSE is tough/borderline, while Coimbatore ECE is possible but not guaranteed, especially if she is outside the Tamil Nadu home-state quota. Amrita’s official admission page confirms the 2026 B.Tech admissions/campuses, and Shiksha notes Amrita does not officially publish fixed opening/closing ranks, so rank predictions are expert-trend-based. The best chances are Chennai CSE/CSE-specialisation/ECE and Bengaluru ECE; Bengaluru CSE may be borderline. Recent trend analysis places Chennai CSE/ECE much more reachable around this rank than Coimbatore CSE.
Preference order: Coimbatore ECE > Bengaluru CSE/ECE > Chennai CSE-specialisation/CSE > Chennai ECE. Also keep Amritapuri CSE/ECE and 3-4 private colleges as backups. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
If you do not meet the basic eligibility requirements for admission, it will be impossible to join. According to their admission notification, processing for admission occurs only once a year, and not twice (which is a general practice). If candidates are struggling to achieve the required percentage and plan to retake the exam, they must submit their results before June 1. If they fail to do so, it will result in a very difficult situation.

ALL THE BEST.

Ans: The preference order would be: IIIT Nagpur > IIIT Vadodara > HBTU > IIIT Bhubneshwar. The final choice and preference order may be yours, depending on the favorable conditions available to you.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances are there with VIT (Bhopal/AP). But Vellore and Chennai seems to be difficult.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances are good for ECE @ VIT (Vellore/Chennai), while core CSE at Vellore is difficult. She has a chance of ECE @ Amrita (Bengaluru/Chennai/Amritapuri), and CSE specializations are possible mainly at Chennai or Amritapuri. Coimbatore CSE may be difficult, but ECE is achievable in later rounds.

Good luck.

Ans: At VITEEE 28,671, Vellore CSE core is unlikely except for a very high category, but Vellore CSE specialisation/IT may be borderline in Category 5. Safer CSE options: Chennai CSE-specialisations, and VIT-AP/Bhopal CSE core/specialisations. VIT’s official site confirms all four campuses and the official UG fee page. For Group-B/CSE-type courses, tuition is roughly ?1.95L to ?4.89L/year, depending on category. The hostel estimate for 2-sharing AC + mess is about ?2.0L–?2.6L/year, based on Vellore/Chennai hostel sheets. 4-year total estimate: Category 3: ?24–27L, Category 4: ?27–30L, Category 5: ?30–33L, including tuition, hostel/mess, books, travel, laptop and personal expenses. Prefer Chennai CSE-specialisation > VIT-AP CSE > Bhopal CSE if Vellore is too costly. Please note that the fees provided here are approximate and may not be accurate, as they are subject to annual revision at VIT's discretion. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
