AEEE 2026 admissions open; candidates may apply via entrance test or JEE Main scores

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has launched the admissions cycle for its B.Tech programs through the Amrita Entrance Examination – Engineering (AEEE) 2026. Candidates have two primary routes for admission: appearing for the compulsory AEEE exam or applying with their JEE Main 2026 scores. The Phase 1 registration is now open, with candidates advised to apply early to secure preferred exam slots across Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Chennai, and other campuses.

The admissions process for B.Tech programs at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has officially commenced with the opening of the application window for AEEE 2026 (Amrita Entrance Examination – Engineering). This year, the university continues its dual-mode selection process, offering candidates the flexibility to choose their preferred entry route, thereby maximizing their chances of securing a seat in one of Amrita's sought-after engineering disciplines, including CSE, ECE, and Mechanical Engineering.

The university encourages aspirants to apply at the earliest for Phase 1, as seats in competitive branches and preferred campuses are limited and allocated based on merit from either the AEEE or JEE Main score.

I. AEEE 2026 Phase 1: Key Dates and Dual Pathway

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham typically conducts the AEEE in multiple phases, providing several opportunities for candidates to attempt the exam and improve their scores.

• Dual Admission Pathway: Candidates must choose one of the following methods while applying:
  1. AEEE 2026 Score: Candidates appear for the AEEE, and their score/rank is used for the merit list.
  2. JEE Main 2026 Score: Candidates apply using their valid score from either Session 1 (January) or Session 2 (April) of the JEE Main 2026 exam.

II. Eligibility and Selection Criteria

Eligibility for Amrita's B.Tech programs is based on academic performance and rank secured in the entrance exam(s).

• Academic Eligibility: Candidates must have passed the HSC (10+2) examination or its equivalent with a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Individual subjects must also meet specific minimum percentage requirements (typically 55-60%).
• AEEE Exam Pattern: The AEEE is a 2.5-hour (150 minutes) CBT consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The marking scheme is generally $+3$ marks for a correct answer and $-1$ mark for an incorrect answer.
• Selection Weightage (Expected): The final rank list for B.Tech admission is prepared by combining the scores from both entrances. Historically, the selection process gives the following approximate weightage:
  • AEEE Score: $60\%$ Weightage
  • JEE Main Score: $30\%$ Weightage
  • Class 12 Marks: $10\%$ Weightage (Used primarily for tie-breaking and basic eligibility).

Important Note: Applying for B.Tech at Amrita requires a separate online application fee regardless of whether the candidate opts for the AEEE or JEE Main route.

III. Post-Exam Counseling and Campuses

The AEEE score and JEE Main scores are the basis for the centralized counseling process conducted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.

• Campuses and Courses: Admission is offered to various B.Tech programs (including CSE, AI/ML, Robotics, ECE, etc.) across Amrita's key campuses:
  • Amritapuri (Kerala)
  • Bengaluru (Karnataka)
  • Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu)
  • Chennai (Tamil Nadu)
  • Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh)
• Counseling Process: Candidates are called for centralized counseling based on their highest rank (derived from their best AEEE score or JEE Main percentile). Choice filling involves selecting the preferred campus and branch.

All engineering aspirants are strongly advised to complete the online application for AEEE 2026 immediately to participate in the competitive Phase 1 process.
