🎯 VIT Round 1 Vacancy After Rank 20,000 – What Seats Can You Expect ?

Many students worry about what seats are available after Round 1 of VITEEE counselling, especially if their rank is above 20,000. The truth is, even after Round 1, there are still good opportunities in other campuses and branches depending on vacancy and demand. This blog explains what you can realistically expect after Rank 20,000 in Round 1 vacancy.

🧠 What Does “Round 1 Vacancy After 20,000 Rank” Mean?

After Round 1 seat allotment is completed, some seats remain unfilled or get released because:

• Students choose not to confirm their seat

• Students upgrade to another campus or branch

• Payment is not completed

• Movement happens between categories

These remaining seats become part of the vacancy list for the next rank range.

📍 Can You Get a Seat After Rank 20,000 in Round 1?

Yes — but the available options depend on:

• Branch demand

• Campus popularity

• Category level and fees

For Rank 20,000 and above, seats in the most demanded branches like CSE may be limited in top campuses, but good options are usually available in other branches and campuses.
