We have recently taken admission in Vit vellore for mechanical engineering for my son. He tried for IIT then bits but couldn't get through..BITSAT 2 he got 210.pls guide if vit is a good option ..we stay in Mumbai..so vit over Mum colleges is a good decision?

Ans: Rashi Madam, son not applied for MHT-CET? If Yes, Percentile in MHT-CET? VIT Vellore’s Mechanical Engineering programme is NAAC A++-accredited and ABET-recognized, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty across 30+ specialized labs (Thermal, CFD, Robotics, EV Powertrain and industry-sponsored CoEs). Its centralized Career Development Centre has engaged 409 recruiters, generating over 10 458 job offers and sustaining ~85–90% placement consistency with an average package of ?9.9 LPA in 2024. Modern research facilities, strong industry tie-ups (Valeo, RANE-NSK) and global MoUs underpin hands-on learning. In contrast, Mumbai’s mid-tier engineering institutes outside COEP/VJTI often report 70–80% placement rates and average packages around ?5–6 LPA with limited high-end lab infrastructure.

Recommendation:
Opting for VIT Vellore offers superior accreditation, cutting-edge labs, robust industry partnerships and higher placement metrics compared to typical Mumbai colleges; its residential campus also fosters immersive technical and extracurricular growth, making it a strategic choice despite relocation from Mumbai. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

He had topped his school in 12 th grade with 96 percent Jee mains 97 percent Sat 1470 score Mhcet 98 percentile So is vit a good option finally with above scores for mechanical engineering We were still having hope for goa bits for mechanical engineering..
Ans: Madam, Thank you for providing additional details. Priority 1: Based on recent cut-off trends for Mechanical Engineering at BITS Goa, admission with a score of 210 may be competitive. However, if your son secures a seat in Mechanical at BITS-Goa, this should be your first priority, provided the fee structure is manageable.

Priority 2:
With a 98 percentile in MHT-CET, your next priority should be choosing among reputable engineering colleges in Mumbai or Pune. These institutions offer solid academic value and benefit from strong location advantages, including accessibility to industry and job markets.

Priority 3:
VIT can be considered as the final priority, offering a dependable alternative should higher-preference options not materialize. This approach ensures clarity and balance in making a well-informed academic decision for your son’s engineering admission.

The academic year in vit has commenced and bits is yet to .. We don't know the cutoffs also clearly..whether with 210 score he would get in bits Goa or not. Do you have any idea about cut offs 2025.. My son appeared for both sessions Session 2 he got 210;in BITSAT.. But due to vit deadline..we got him admitted to vit..my son wanted in bits over vit.. Any chance now, any idea?!! Pls advise
Ans: A score of 210 marks is slightly below the typical qualifying range, considering that the minimum cut-off for MSc courses over the past two to three years has generally been around 240 marks. However, it is important to note that cut-off requirements can fluctuate each year due to various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and seat availability, making precise predictions for this year's cut-off challenging. Given the strong percentile achieved in MHT-CET, it is advisable to prioritize seeking admission in one of the top three to five colleges in Maharashtra, where there are excellent academic and placement opportunities. This approach maximizes the benefits of a high MHT-CET percentile and ensures access to renowned institutions within the state.
