AEEE Phase-1 registration is coming to a close, complete registration and slot booking apply is 15 Jan 2026

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has officially entered the final stretch of the AEEE 2026 Phase 1 application window. For engineering aspirants eyeing a seat in one of India’s top-ranked private universities, the upcoming weeks are critical. The registration portal will remain active until January 15, 2026, but candidates are encouraged to apply early to avoid last-minute technical delays. This phase is the first of two opportunities for students to qualify for the university’s diverse B.Tech programs.

Mandatory Phase 1 Timeline and Key Deadlines

Staying updated with the official schedule is paramount for a successful application. While the registration closes in mid-January, the slot booking process—a unique feature of the Amrita entrance system—begins much earlier. This "first-come, first-served" facility allows students to personalize their testing experience.

• Final Date to Apply: January 15, 2026, is the strict cut-off for Phase 1.
• Slot Booking Commencement: Candidates can begin selecting their exam dates and shifts starting January 10, 2026.
• Examination Window: The Phase 1 Computer Based Test (CBT) is scheduled from January 29 to February 1, 2026.
• Admit Card Access: Hall tickets are typically generated immediately after a candidate completes the slot booking process.

Eligibility and Revised Exam Pattern for 2026

Aspirants must ensure they meet the revised eligibility criteria before paying the application fee of INR 1300. The university has introduced specific subject-wise thresholds and a slightly modified question distribution to better assess analytical skills.

• Academic Bar: A minimum of 60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) is required in Class 12.
• Subject Threshold: Candidates must also secure at least 50% marks individually in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
• Age Limit: Only those born on or after July 1, 2005, are eligible to apply for the current session.
• New Paper Format: The exam now consists of 100 questions to be solved in 150 minutes, covering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, and Quantitative Aptitude.

Step-by-Step Slot Booking and Registration Process

The Amrita Online Application Portal (AOAP) serves as the centralized hub for all activities. Once the registration is finalized, the slot booking phase becomes the most vital step to secure a convenient test center among the 149 available cities.

• Registration: Visit aeee.amrita.edu, provide a valid email/mobile number, and fill in the academic profile.
• Document Upload: Scanned copies of a recent photograph and signature must be uploaded as per the specified dimensions.
• Slot Selection: On Jan 10, log in to select your preferred city and shift (Morning: 9:30 AM or Afternoon: 2:00 PM).
• Confirmation: Once a slot is confirmed, it cannot be changed, so choose your dates carefully based on your other entrance schedules.

In summary, AEEE 2026 Phase 1 is a strategic entry point for students, as the university fills 70% of its seats through this exam. Aspirants should prioritize completing their profiles and setting reminders for the January 10 slot booking launch. To ensure your application is valid, frequently monitor the official Amrita portal for any real-time notifications or updates.
