VIT VELLORE CSE category 4 fees should be taken or wait for josaa counselling for IIIT CSE/ AI in Una/ guwahati/ sricity/ Trichy / nit sikkim CSE in last round with 44000 rank gerneral girl

Ans: Swasti, With a JEE Main rank of 44,000 (General female), securing CSE in IIIT Una (2024 cutoff: ~25,680–32,781), IIIT Guwahati (~18,183–18,885), or NIT Sikkim (~39,917) is unlikely, but vacancy rounds in JoSAA may offer seats in IIIT Sri City (2024 cutoff: ~24,055–31,312) or NIT Sikkim ECE (~94,766). VIT Vellore CSE (Category 4) guarantees admission with 90–95% placements (Amazon, Microsoft) but costs ~?18–20L total fees. While IIITs/NITs offer lower fees (~?10–15L total) and niche tech exposure, their placement rates (IIIT Una: ~61%, NIT Sikkim: ~60–70%) lag behind VIT’s. Prioritize VIT Vellore for assured tech roles or wait for JoSAA to target IIIT Sri City ECE/NIT Sikkim CSE if fee sensitivity outweighs placement consistency. Confirm vacancy trends and branch flexibility during counselling. IMPORTANT: Please check the Refund Policy of VIT if you withdraw your seat from there to ensure that you do not incur major financial losses. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Manipal University Jaipur, part of the MAHE Institute of Eminence, holds NBA Tier-1 and NAAC A+ accreditations and offers credit and non-credit student exchange programs with 30+ partner universities across Australia, Europe, North America and Asia, enabling third- and fourth-year CSE students with CGPA > 7 to earn external credits and build global academic networks. Its CSE curriculum includes specializations in AI/ML, Data Science, Cybersecurity and IoT, supported by 12 advanced labs and 120 faculty members engaged in international research collaborations.

Recommendation: For maximized MS abroad opportunities through structured credit transfers (subject to final confirmation by you with MUJ), a broader partner network and IoE status, choose Manipal Jaipur’s CSE; for Bengaluru residency, direct industry-academic linkages in AI/ML minors and flexible exchange modules, opt for JAIN University Bangalore. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
