i had 3791 rank in vit mtech integrated in which category i lies
Hi Aspirant
Vellore Institute of Technology offers admission into its five year integrated MTech programs through a structured rank based category system These categories are not based on reservation like SC ST or OBC but on the rank obtained by the student in the entrance process This rank based category system decides not only the admission eligibility but also the fee structure for the program
The categories are usually divided into four main types Category One Category Two Category Three and Category Four These categories are based on rank slabs and each one corresponds to a different tuition fee slab Lower the category number lesser the fee to be paid which means Category One has the least tuition fee while Category Four has the highest The aim is to reward higher ranking students with better financial benefits while still keeping the admission open to a larger group of aspirants
Now with a rank of three thousand seven hundred ninety one in the MTech Integrated program your expected position would fall within Category Two Category One is usually reserved for students with ranks within two thousand or slightly higher depending on the course and year For example if the program is in high demand such as Computer Science or Software Engineering Category One cutoffs may close even earlier for ranks under fifteen hundred However for courses with moderate demand such as MTech Integrated Biotechnology or Electronics a student with a rank under four thousand might get a chance in Category One or at least the beginning of Category Two
In your case assuming you are targeting a high demand branch like MTech Integrated in Computer Science Engineering with specialization in Software Engineering or Artificial Intelligence your rank most likely places you in Category Two This means your tuition fee will be slightly higher than Category One but still lower than Categories Three and Four It also means you are likely to be offered admission in the first or second round of counseling depending on seat availability
During the VIT counseling process the seat allocation depends not only on your rank but also on the preferences you fill during the choice filling stage If a student with a better rank does not opt for the same course or campus the seat may slide down to the next eligible rank holder Hence even if you fall in Category Two for a competitive course there is a good chance of getting the branch and campus of your choice
You can also track the category wise fee structure and availability during counseling rounds so that you make an informed decision You may be given an option to select the branch even if it falls under a higher category with a different fee You can either accept the seat or wait for further rounds hoping for a better category allocation
