Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has launched the registration process for its annual B.Tech. entrance exam

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has officially launched the registration process for the Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) 2026. This is the critical first step for admission into its highly-ranked B.Tech programs across multiple campuses. Aspirants can apply online through the official portal, aeee.amrita.edu, with the Phase 1 registration deadline set for January 15, 2026. Crucially, admission is also available through JEE Main 2026 percentile, and candidates can opt for both routes. This comprehensive guide covers the eligibility, exam pattern, and the steps to secure your application before the deadline.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, recognized as an Institution of Eminence by the Government of India, has opened the application window for its annual B.Tech. entrance examination, the Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) 2026. The launch of registration on October 29, 2025, marks the beginning of the race for coveted engineering seats in one of India's leading private universities. The AEEE is the primary gateway for admissions, but the university offers flexibility by accepting scores from the JEE Main 2026 percentile as well.

​The AEEE 2026 examination will be conducted in two separate phases—Phase 1 tentatively scheduled from January 29 to February 1, 2026, and Phase 2 expected in April 2026. This dual-phase system allows candidates to maximize their preparation and potentially improve their score. All aspiring engineers must complete the strictly online registration process via the Amrita Online Application Portal (AOAP) on the official website, aeee.amrita.edu, ensuring all details are accurate, especially before the Phase 1 deadline of January 15, 2026.

• ​Mandatory Eligibility Criteria:
  • ​Academic Qualification: Must have passed or be appearing for the Class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognized board.

​Dual Admission Route: AEEE vs. JEE Main Percentile

​Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers a significant advantage by providing two distinct pathways to B.Tech. admission, allowing candidates to leverage their best performance.

• ​AEEE Rank Pathway: 
  • ​Candidates who score high in the AEEE 2026 examination (Phase 1 or Phase 2) will be awarded an AEEE Rank. This rank is used in the Centralised Seat Allotment Process (CSAP) for admission to all campuses. Expected high percentile cutoffs are seen for CSE in top campuses, often requiring 95+ percentile.
• ​JEE Main Percentile Pathway:
  • ​Candidates can choose to apply using their JEE Main 2026 Percentile Score instead of, or in addition to, their AEEE score.
  • ​This option is highly beneficial for students who perform exceptionally well in the national-level JEE Main but might face scheduling conflicts with the AEEE dates.
  • ​Scholarships: Scholarships are awarded to top performers based on either their AEEE Rank OR their JEE Main Percentile, rewarding merit across both entrance exams.
• ​The Best Approach: It is strongly recommended to apply for both AEEE and JEE Main routes by selecting the combined option during the application process. This ensures maximum opportunities for securing a seat and maximizing scholarship eligibility across Amrita's eight campuses.

​Conclusion

​The launch of the AEEE 2026 registration is the starting line for a high-potential engineering career. With the Phase 1 registration closing on January 15, 2026, time is limited. Aspiring students must act fast to complete their registration on aeee.amrita.edu, verify the strict eligibility criteria, and choose the highly advantageous Dual Admission Channel (AEEE + JEE Main). Diligent preparation aligned with the AEEE's 150-minute exam pattern is now paramount to achieving a top rank and securing admission into the prestigious B.Tech. programs at Amrita.
