VITEEE Cutoff and Ranking System

Unlike many BTech engineering entrance exams, such as JEE Main, MHT CET, etc. VIT does not release any official cutoff (which students must be aware of). Instead, VIT admission is purely done based on VITEEE 2026 rank, which is done category-wise.

VIT follows a unique five-category ranking system, which goes parallel with the VITEEE fee structure. Thus, as the rank increases, the category along fee also increase. It means, the VIT category 1 to 2 usually have low fees, while category 3 to 5 have high-academic tuition fee. For BTech CSE at VIT Vellore, the competition is extremely high. Every year, out of 2.5 lakh applicants, around 1 lakh applicants fight for CSE branch.
