I am also from Maharashtra Board and appeared for VITMEE (VIT Master's Entrance Examination) after I did my graduation from Mumbai University. With a weekend of preparation, I was able to crack the top 100 ranks (got rank 89) quite easily since I have been a decent student. Having said that the VITEE is a lot tougher and more competitive mainly due to the sheer volume of applicants. You can stick to your board exam books but also focus on your core physics and math problems for speed and accuracy both from competitive exam books (which will be important). Use your time wisely.
Now, some generic suggestions -
Unless you secure a very good rank, CSE will be tough to get because let's face it, nearly everyone aims to get into CSE. IT is also a viable alternative for B.Tech and there isn't much difference in the syllabus or subjects, just the name of the degree tbh. Also, don't worry if you don't get into CSE in the Vellore campus but get an option for Chennai campus - I would say go for it! I had a choice between both campuses and elected for Chennai because the academics are great and I got to witness the growth of a campus in a tangible way before my own eyes. Even if you get into other streams, you are lucky to go to VIT and shouldn't hesitate. A few people may leave when other colleges come knocking and there will be an option to switch streams based on rank, later on! Plus, if you are really interested in CS as a career choice, you can continue to learn on your own time using resources from the internet such as codecademy, udemy, udacity, tutorialspoint - there is no shortage of resources there.
