Hello sir, My son got VIT Vellore CSE core in Cat - 4. His JEE Mians score is 95.5 percentile & inter score is 92%. Is there any possibility for him to get in NITs through JoSAA counselling. Please advice. Also, in Telangana EAPCET Exam he got 15,600 rank. Is it better for him to opt in local colleges like CBIT or KMIT or go for VIT. Please guide sir

Ans: Depends on others performance and choice, Slim chance at NIT, may be IIIT

Ans: Slim chance

Ans: Given your son’s 88% board score, 82 percentile in JEE Main, and VITEEE rank of 60,438, admission to NITs for Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is unlikely due to their lower cutoff ranks. However, VIT Vellore remains a strong option, especially since he prefers not to consider other VIT campuses. With his rank, he can secure admission in Mechanical Engineering comfortably and possibly Electrical Engineering under higher fee categories at VIT Vellore. Both branches offer solid academic curriculum and decent placement opportunities, supported by VIT’s strong industry ties and infrastructure. While CSE and IT branches have better placement stats, Electrical and Mechanical at VIT Vellore provide good career prospects in core engineering fields. Accepting a seat in VIT Vellore’s Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is advisable to ensure a reputable degree and campus experience. Meanwhile, he can focus on building skills, internships, and projects to enhance employability. Considering his preference and rank, joining VIT Vellore in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is the best practical choice. Trying for NITs with the current rank is not feasible, so prioritizing VIT Vellore will provide a balanced academic and career start. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
