My son got 1lakh rank in VITEEE... Which campus and branch he's likely to get?

Ans: Khushi Madam, With a VITEEE rank of 1,00,000, your son is unlikely to get any branch at VIT Vellore or Chennai, as their cutoffs are much lower. However, he has a good chance of securing admission to core branches—including CSE, IT, ECE, and Mechanical—at VIT Bhopal and VIT-AP (Amaravati) campuses. He should participate in counseling and prioritize these two campuses for better chances of getting a preferred branch. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Yes sir he opted for mechanical branch at SRM Rampuram and is getting the seat... Is it good?
Ans: SRM Ramapuram is a well-established and NAAC A+ accredited campus of SRM Institute of Science and Technology, offering a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering with 120 seats and a strong industry-oriented curriculum. The campus boasts modern infrastructure, good faculty, and a supportive environment, though sports facilities and food quality receive mixed reviews. Placements are a highlight—over 85% of students are placed, with top recruiters like Amazon, TCS, Cognizant, Microsoft, and Ford participating. For Mechanical Engineering, most placements are in IT and consulting, but core opportunities exist with companies like Hero Motocorp and Ola Electric. The average package for B.Tech is around ?6 LPA, with top packages reaching ?29.5 LPA and even higher in some years. Students report that building a strong profile and seeking internships is key. Overall, SRM Ramapuram offers good value, especially if your son is proactive and open to both core and IT roles after graduation
