I got 7k rank in amrutha university and I have applied for Mtech orientation in VIT. but I have log back of subject. Exam written and results would be out by 15th june. Will I get admission after tesults ? Please suggest

Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 113,478, admission to CSE at VIT-AP or VIT Bangalore campus is highly unlikely due to the competitive cutoff ranks for these branches. Your son may consider other branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical at VIT Bhopal or VIT Amaravati, where cutoffs are more relaxed. For M.Tech admission, the AP Intermediate board score does not play a role; eligibility depends on undergraduate qualifications and GATE scores. It is advisable to participate in counselling with flexible branch choices and consider related branches or campuses. Alternatively, exploring other reputed private universities with flexible admission criteria may be beneficial. Recommendation: Focus on securing admission in other branches or campuses at VIT or similar institutes for undergraduate studies and prepare for GATE for M.Tech admission after graduation. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Ashwin, VIT’s M.Tech eligibility criteria mandate a minimum of 60% aggregate in Class 10 and 12, along with 60% in graduation (or equivalent CGPA), as per the VITMEE 2025 information brochure . While your B.Tech CGPA of 8.5 and decent GATE score demonstrate strong academic capability, the 54% in Class 12 falls short of the institutional threshold. VIT’s admission process for M.Tech prioritizes VITMEE rank and GATE scores, but the 60% benchmark in 10th/12th is non-negotiable for eligibility, as industries partnering with VIT enforce this requirement for placements.

Recommendation: Contact the VIT admissions office directly to clarify if exceptions apply for candidates with exceptional UG/GATE performance, though precedents suggest strict adherence to criteria. Explore alternatives like NITs or state universities with relaxed 12th-grade requirements, leveraging your GATE score and B.Tech CGPA for admission. Consider reapplying after improving 12th marks via NIOS or state board re-evaluation if VIT remains a priority. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
