VIT: mixed rollercoaster

The prospects of my college is good, the companies coming for placements etc. I had applied for other colleges including iits and other private colleges. My college has an exam called the VITEEE though which students are given a rank and can apply. I couldn't get the course of my choice in the other colleges I had applied to....Read More

Colleges Applied to & Admissions Received: I applied to IITs, BITS Pilani, SRM University, and Manipal University. My JEE score was 92.3726 percentile, but unfortunately, I wasn't getting a seat in any of the top 10 NITs or IITs. While I got an offer from BITS Goa for Software Engineering, I decided against it because, coming from a middle-class family, the fees were quite high. I also got admission offers from SRM and Manipal, but I chose VIT, where I secured a first-category rank of 2583. Why I Chose VIT Over Others: 1. Affordability: VIT offered a much more affordable education compared to BITS Goa. With my rank, I got a seat in the first category, making the fees significantly lower. 2. Placements & Infrastructure: VIT has a strong placement record and excellent infrastructure, which made it a better option over SRM and Manipal. 3. Value for Money: VIT is a government-deemed university, offering quality education at a reasonable cost, making it more practical for me than BITS or private instituitions. 4. Location: Although Vellore is relatively far from my home, the overall reputation and opportunities VIT offered were worth the distance. Rejections & What Went Wrong: I couldn’t secure a seat in the IITs or top NITs as my JEE Advanced rank didn’t meet the required cutoffs. My primary focus was IIT, and although I came okayish close, it wasn’t enough to get a seat in a reputed government college. This is why I decided to explore better private university options like VIT. VIT Admission Process: 1. Eligibility: Minimum of 60% in PCM for 12th grade. 2. Exams Accepted: VITEEE (the preferred exam) and JEE Main scores for lateral entry into some programs. 3. Cutoffs: My VITEEE rank of 2583 allowed me to secure a seat in the first category. The cutoffs for top branches like Computer Science typically require ranks within the top 10,000. 4. Admission Experience: The process was smooth and transparent, with online counseling where students could choose branches based on their ranks. VIT was the best option for me due to its balance between affordability, placements, and infrastructure compared to other private universities like BITS or Manipal....Read More

I'm from the 2020 batch (COVID) I had given JEE Mains and could not secure a very good rank to get NITs or IITs I had a few friends who were in VIT and had put in a very good word for it as well.

That particular year there was no VITEEE being held which is the usual process for admission normally....Read More
