Hi Dear student,
With a 60k rank, getting Category 1 at VIT is probably difficult, but you still have a decent chance of getting branches like ECE, EEE, or related courses in higher categories (Category 2–5) or at VIT Chennai, AP, or Bhopal campuses.
You can first try for CSE
Hi,
With a VITMEE rank around 575, getting VLSI at VIT Vellore in Category 1 can be a bit competitive, but there is still a possibility depending on counselling trends and seat availability. Category 2 chances are generally much better at this rank.

For Cat-1 with 10-year Kannada medium quota, you should aim for around 350–450+ marks in NEET for safer chances in government colleges. Cutoff can change each year, but higher marks always improve your chances of getting a good seat.
