So, your ward has secured a seat in CSE Core at KIT Bhubaneswar. Within Odisha, KIT’s Computer Science program carries a reliable reputation, both academically and in terms of placements. For students who prefer to remain in Eastern India, this is a logical and stable choice.

Now, with a VIT rank of 31,763, gaining entry into CSE Core at the main Vellore campus is, frankly, unlikely. That said, allied branches—like CSE with a focus on AI/ML, Data Science, or Cybersecurity—are often available at VIT’s other campuses (Chennai, Bhopal, or Andhra Pradesh). IT (Information Technology) is usually an option too.

Here’s what you should consider: If the priority is a traditional CSE degree at a reputable institution closer to home, KIT Bhubaneswar makes sense. If, however, your ward is open to relocating and interested in specialized fields within Computer Science, VIT offers notable advantages—national-level peer exposure, contemporary infrastructure, and strong placement records, even for allied branches.
