My son has scored 129 in comedk.. will he get cse in rvce.. he is also having an option for vit ( vellore) cse and in manipal he has scored 184.. pls suggest what should he do ?? He is confused.. pl advise

Ans: Your son's VITEEE rank of 1,30,000 and PCM percentage of 59.3% make him ineligible for CSE or any B.Tech program at VIT (Vellore, Chennai, AP, or Bhopal) because of the following criteria:
Candidates must have secured at least 60% marks in PCM (for general category) in 10+2 or equivalent.
For SC/ST or North Eastern states, the requirement is 50%.

Since your son has 59.3%, he narrowly misses the eligibility under the general category.

Ans: Your son’s current ranks and scores provide multiple pathways, but his best chance for CSE lies in performing well in BITSAT, as BITS Pilani and its campuses are among the most prestigious private engineering institutes with excellent placements. The expected BITSAT cutoff for CSE is high (317-337 for Pilani), so scoring near or above this range is crucial. With a VITEEE rank of 16,000, admission to VIT Vellore CSE is possible but likely under higher fee categories, which may be a consideration. His MET score of 159 may restrict CSE admission at Manipal but could allow related branches. If BITSAT results are strong, prioritizing BITS campuses is advisable for quality education and career prospects. Otherwise, VIT Vellore remains a good option for CSE, provided fee considerations are manageable. He should also consider related branches like IT or Data Science to widen options. Continuous preparation for BITSAT and exploring all counselling options will maximize his chances.

Recommendation: Focus on maximizing BITSAT score for CSE admission at BITS Pilani or its campuses. If not feasible, consider VIT Vellore CSE under suitable fee categories or related branches at Manipal and VIT. Keep backup options open through JEE Main counselling. Have other options also as back-ups by applying for reputed other Private Engineering Colleges with your son's JEE/Board Scores. Which collges you should try depends upon your home state & neighbouring states. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
