Reddit Discussion on VIT CSE Category 3 Cutoff

A user on Reddit asked a question “I come from a middle class family with around 8.5 lpa income so ROI does matter for me. And my viteee rank is 11k so I don't think I'll get cse within category 2 but I'll probably get ece in cat 1/2. But then again everyone says that ECE is tougher than cse and it's quite difficult to maintain a good cgpa + my interest is more in cse so I'm really confused.” Various other users are providing their views in the comment section.

A user in the comment section mentioned “I'm in same dilemma, I've got 20k rank...CSE with specialization category 4/5 or ECE in category 2/3. I'm fixated on Vellore campus though”
