Questions related to VIT Vellore

Have a question related to VIT Vellore ?

i got 206 in nmat is it possibe i get a calll from vit for mba?

Hello,

Based on previous years' cutoff , VIT Business School typically requires an NMAT score in the 75-80 percentile range for MBA admissions. An NMAT score of 206 may correspond to a percentile below this range, potentially affecting your chances.

Your current NMAT score is below the typical cutoff, but a strong overall application can still enhance your chances of receiving a call from VIT for the MBA program.

Hope it helps !

VIT cutoff for Mtech in Mechanical/CAD,CAM?

Hello Greetings

The VIT cutoff for M.Tech in Mechanical/CAD/CAM varies based on several factors, including the number of seats available, the number of applicants, and the difficulty level of the examination.

To give you a better idea, here are some cutoff ranks for M.Tech programs at VIT from previous years:

- *Mechanical Engineering*: 19500 (2016) and 19000 (2015)

- *CAD/CAM*: No specific cutoff ranks available, but the cutoff for Mechanical Engineering can be used as a reference

Keep in mind that these cutoff ranks are subject to change and may not reflect the current year's cutoff. The admission cut off marks for M.Tech programs at VIT are determined by the university and are typically released after the declaration of results .

It's also worth noting that admission to M.Tech programs at VIT is based on the candidate's score in the VIT Masters Entrance Examination (VITMEE) or GATE. Candidates with a valid GATE score are given preference .

Have a great day
