Hi,
Choosing between IIIT ECE with VLSI & Embedded Systems and VIT Chennai CSE-AI depends on your career goals. If you’re interested in hardware design, chip manufacturing, and embedded systems IoT, robotics, electronics R&D , ECE with VLSI is future-proof demand for chip engineers is growing with India’s semiconductor push. However, if you love coding, machine learning, and software development, CSE-AI offers a broader IT career path with booming demand in AI/ML fields. Placement stats also matter VIT has strong industry links for IT roles, while IIITs often have niche but high-paying core electronics placements. Also compare location, fees, and alumni network. If unsure, check if your interest leans more toward circuits or code that usually decides the fit.
Thank you, and best wishes for your decision

Hii,
Let’s clear up one thing first VIT-AP doesn’t admit students through AP EAPCET ranks for CSE, ECE, or any other stream. It conducts its own entrance exam (VITEEE) and also has a management quota. So even with a rank of 39,917 in EAPCET, you won't be eligible for VIT-AP’s B.Tech CSE/CSM/ECE via counselling.
But don’t worry you still have good options. With this rank, you can:
Just keep checking the official counselling portal and participate in all rounds, especially spot admissions.
All the best!
