    Have a question related to VITEEE ?

    Hello Dear Student,

    With a VITEEE rank of 74,321 , getting Category 1 seats at VIT Chennai is very unlikely.

    Category 1 seats usually close at much lower ranks, especially for:

    • CSE Core
    • CSE specializations

    At your rank, you will most likely fall under:

    • Category 4 , or
    • Category 5

    Hi Dear Student,
    Based on the VITEEE 2026 counselling trends, a rank of 10,127 will most likely place you in Phase 1 counselling (ranks 1–20,000).

    Getting the Chennai campus in Category 2 looks quite possible. However, for the Vellore campus, popular branches like CSE or ECE are usually more competitive.

    Hi Dear Student,
    If you want CSE Core at VIT Vellore after getting a seat at the Chennai campus, you should continue in the next counselling phases for seat upgradation.

    What You Should Do

    • Pay the Counselling/Seat Advance Fee
      You must pay the current seat fee to keep your admission

    With a VITEEE AIR of 47,674, you are likely looking at Category 3-5 for ECE at Chennai/Vellore or potentially Category 1-2 for CSE at AP/Bhopal. For better placement opportunities in IT/Software, prioritize CSE at VIT Chennai or CSE in Category 2/3 at VIT AP, as placements are centralized,
