Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) is a popular university offering various courses including B.E. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry). The cutoff information for the B.E. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) program at VIT varies each year and depends on various factors such as the number of applicants, availability of seats, and the performance of the applicants in the qualifying examination. However, based on the previous year's cutoff trends, the expected cutoff for the BE. in Information Technology (Lateral Entry) program at VIT can be estimated to be around 60-70 marks out of 100. It is important to note that this is only an estimate and the actual cutoff may vary based on the factors mentioned above. The cutoff information for the current academic year (2023-24) has not yet been released by the institute.
