Hey,
With a VITMEE rank around 944, getting M.Tech CSE at Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai in Category 1 is honestly quite difficult because Category 1 seats usually close at much lower ranks.
But you still have decent chances for:
• Category 2 or 3 in core CSE
• Category
Hi,
Your scholarship eligibility depends on whether your GATE 2026 score meets the General category qualifying cutoff. If your category could not be changed after the correction window, then you are usually treated as a General category candidate during admission and scholarship processing.

Hi,
With a GATE score of 426, you do have a chance of getting MTech Data Science in some NITs , especially through later counselling rounds or in comparatively less competitive NITs. For top NITs, though, Data Science seats can still be quite competitive since it is a popular specialisation.
Hello Student,
Getting a seat in Mining Engineering in MBM Jodhpur with 67th percentile as an OBC candidate might be difficult, as the cut off goes around 75-80th percentile.
What you can do is to go for spot rounds or REAP's last round, provided the seats remain vacant.
