What should be the preference of courses in vit counselling for rank 20814?

Hello dear aspirant

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on successful completion of your VITEEE exam. The cut-off trends keeps changing every year and it depends on the number of students attempting the exam, difficulty level, number of available seats, etc. With a rank near to 20,000, it's difficult to get CSE seat in Vellore campus in any fee category. You can try applying for CSE seat at their Chennai campus in last two categories as the cut-off for CSE in 1st fee category at Chennai campus was 25,000 in the year 2016. You can easily secure other branches like EEE, Mechanical, etc at Chennai campus. Whereas, if you want a CSE seat only, then you can easily secure a seat in their Amravati (AP) and Bhopal campuses in first fee category itself as these are recently established.

VIT AP and VIT Bhopal offer many specialisations in CSE branch such as Artificial Intelligence, Cyber security and Digital forensics, Gaming Technology, Health Informatics, Networking and Security, Data Analytics, Robotics, Business Systems. These courses are future ready and have high placement opportunities. You can opt for the one you like from these specialisations.
