My sin secured around 52500 rank ,falls in category 3 in VIT.Will he be able to get admission in VIT VELLORE

Ans: Shaveta Madam, With a VITEEE rank of around 52,500 in Category 3, your son is eligible for several branches at VIT Vellore, but not for high-demand courses like Computer Science, IT, or ECE, as their cutoffs are much lower (CSE closes around 8,200, ECE around 22,000). However, he can get admission in branches such as Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Biotechnology, Electrical and Electronics, and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, where the closing ranks are much higher—often up to 80,000 or more. Recommendation: Proceed with VIT Vellore counseling and target the best available branch among Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Civil, or Biotechnology. These are well-established programs with good placement records at VIT Vellore. If CSE/IT is a strict priority, consider other campuses or private colleges, but for core engineering, VIT Vellore remains an excellent choice. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

My son is in 11th grade CBSE and for JEE coaching we have opted vedhantu online . Does he need extra coaching for taking up other exams like KCET, COMDEK? Pls advice
Ans: JEE Main preparation covers extensive Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics concepts, but state-level exams like KCET and COMEDK emphasize direct, board-syllabus topics and speed-based MCQs that differ slightly from JEE patterns. COMEDK’s syllabus mirrors JEE Main but features more questions and no negative marking, demanding higher accuracy and time management, while KCET omits several advanced JEE chapters and tests quick recall of Class 11–12 board content. Vedantu’s JEE coaching provides strong conceptual grounding, so supplementing with dedicated COMEDK mock tests and KCET topic-wise practice—focusing on state-syllabus chapters removed from JEE—is advisable. Integrating afternoon sessions for KCET revision and specific COMEDK speed drills alongside JEE training ensures balanced readiness for all three exams without redundant classes. Recommendation: Continue Vedantu’s JEE program and add targeted online practice modules—mock tests and state-syllabus reviews—for KCET and COMEDK rather than enrolling in a full extra coaching course.

Ans: Murugesh, Integrated M.Tech programs blend undergraduate and graduate studies, saving a year and offering specialized depth in fields like Data Science, machine learning, and advanced analytics while ensuring early research exposure and industry internships. At VIT Chennai, the Integrated M.Tech CSE (Data Science) spans five years with eligibility at 70% PCM in 10+2 and yields approximately 75–80% placement rates across integrated cohorts, driven by 800+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, and average packages near ?9–11 LPA reflecting technology and analytics hiring trends. Graduates gain strong foundations in algorithms, statistical modeling, big-data frameworks, and practical projects, positioning them for roles as Data Scientists, ML Engineers, and quantitative analysts in tech firms and financial institutions globally. Compared to standalone B.Tech + M.Tech, the integrated model provides streamlined progression, reduced fees, and consistent mentorship, though demands sustained academic commitment. Recommendation: Pursue the Integrated M.Tech CSE (Data Science) at VIT Chennai for accelerated specialization, robust placement network, and interdisciplinary research opportunities that align with high-growth data-driven industries.
