I got 1680 rank in comedk 2025. Which college will I get?

Ans: Ishaan, Opting for CSE (AI & ML) at VIT Chennai (Category 4) ensures direct access to a 90–95% placement rate (2024 data) with top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel, alongside a specialized AI/ML curriculum and centralized internship support. While fees are high (~?18–20L total), VIT’s branch migration policy allows shifting to core CSE with a CGPA >9 and passing two extra subjects, though only 2% of seats are available, making it highly competitive. Ramaiah Mechanical (75–85% core placements via L&T/Bosch) and NIE Mysore ECE (70–80% placements via TCS/Infosys) are budget-friendly but lack branch-change flexibility (Ramaiah prohibits it; NIE requires CGPA >8.5 and seat availability, which is rare). Prioritize VIT Chennai if CSE specialization and assured tech roles are critical, despite the cost, or opt for Ramaiah/NIE only if comfortable with non-CSE pathways. Monitor WBJEE results for potential CSE options in state colleges, balancing fee sensitivity and career alignment. My suggestion: Prefer getting admission through COMEDK for any non-CSE Branch & keep upgrading your skills in CS with certifications if not upgraded to CSE Branch due to some reasons. Though VIT is a reputed institute, paying Category 4 Fee is not much recommended.

All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
