I got vit rank _ 70000. Boards 90% cbse class 12 Should I opt for cse with bioinformatics or core cse? Which field would be better for me ?

Ans: Parna, With a VITEEE rank of 70,000 and 90% in CBSE Class 12, admission to core CSE at VIT’s premier campuses (Vellore/Chennai) is unlikely, as their 2024 cutoff ranks for Category 1–3 closed below 30,000 . However, CSE with Bioinformatics at VIT-AP/Bhopal may be accessible in Category 4–5 (cutoff ranks up to 70,000–1.3 lakh), offering a niche curriculum blending computational biology and data analysis . While core CSE provides broader tech opportunities (93% placements in software roles), CSE with Bioinformatics caters to specialized sectors like healthcare IT and biotech (50–60% core placements) . If institutional reputation and tech versatility are priorities, consider ECE/IT at VIT campuses (cutoff ~45,000–1.2 lakh) or explore CSE (AI/Data Science) at newer campuses like VIT-AP . Prioritize CSE with Bioinformatics only if aligned with interdisciplinary interests, otherwise opt for ECE/IT for better placement diversity. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
