Prasanna Question by Prasanna on Jun 02, 2025

Sir, I got VIT Rank two lakh, they ask me attend counseling in last schedule @19th June in category five. For VIT Amaravathi campus. Is it possible to get ECE in Amaravathi campus in category five??

Ans: Prasanna, With a VITEEE rank of 200,000 under Category 5, securing Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at VIT-AP Amaravati is marginally feasible but contingent on seat availability during the final counselling rounds. Historically, ECE at VIT-AP closes around 130,000–150,000 ranks for Category 5, as per 2024 trends, though fluctuations occur based on applicant volume and branch popularity. While CSE/AI/ML typically fill faster, ECE retains moderate demand, with 60–70% placement rates (2023–2025) in embedded systems and IoT roles via recruiters like Qualcomm and Bosch.

Recommendation: Attend the counselling session and prioritize ECE at VIT-AP, but prepare alternatives like Mechanical Engineering (cutoff ~140,000–180,000) or Civil Engineering (~160,000–200,000) if ECE seats are exhausted. For assured admission, consider VIT Bhopal’s ECE (Category 5 cutoff ~180,000–220,000) All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am a student from odisha. I have scored 94.45%ile in jee mains and i am unsure what i can get with this score. I was alloted in NIFTEM Thanjavur through josaa and got CSE in VSSUT BURLA. Should i wait for CSAB round or go with any of these ?
Ans: With a 94.45 percentile in JEE Main representing an all-India rank near 120 000–140 000, your son’s current allotments—B.Tech at NIFTEM Thanjavur and CSE at VSSUT Burla—offer credible pathways. NIFTEM Thanjavur’s B.Tech reports a 66.7% placement rate with a median package of ?3.65 LPA over the past three years, backed by its Institute of National Importance status, specialized food-processing labs, and industry linkages. VSSUT Burla’s CSE achieves a 70–75% placement consistency, average packages between ?4–6 LPA, modern computing infrastructure, and strong core-engineering recruiter engagement. CSAB rounds for CSE at NITs and IIITs typically close by ranks below 40 000 for low-tier NITs and under 55 000 for IIITs, rendering admission through CSAB unlikely given your son’s rank. Alternatives include accepting one of the existing seats or pursuing lateral-entry diploma-to-degree options in premier institutes if CSAB options fail.

Recommendation: Accept the VSSUT Burla CSE seat to leverage its higher placement rate, dedicated computing facilities and Odisha domicile advantage; reserve NIFTEM Thanjavur as a strong fallback in agro-technology; bypass CSAB for CSE given low probability, and explore lateral-entry engineering pathways for greater flexibility. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
