Those candidates who rank lower than the closing rank of a particular category will not be considered for admission. Therefore, candidates must secure the minimum qualifying marks in VITEEE 2026 to become eligible for the VITEEE 2026 Counselling Process.

The expected VITEEE cutoff 2026 can be 90+ marks for popular branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) with a recommended rank under 3000, which can go down to 70 to 80+ for core engineering branches like Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering with ranks under 10,000 to 12,000.
