Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has officially opened the application process for B.Tech. admissions for the 2026 academic year.

  • ​Personal and Academic Details: After verification, log in to complete the detailed application form. This involves providing personal information (name, date of birth, address, Aadhaar number, etc.) and comprehensive academic records, including details of Class 10 and Class 12 (or equivalent) examination marks/status.
  • ​Document Upload: Candidates are required to upload digital copies of their recent passport-size photograph and their signature strictly adhering to the specified file size and format guidelines. An unclear photograph may lead to application rejection.
  • ​Payment of Application Fee: The final step involves the payment of the non-refundable application fee through online modes (Credit Card, Debit Card, or Net Banking). The fee varies based on the chosen admission route.
• ​Crucial Application Deadlines (Phase 1):
  • ​The application form for Phase 1 of AEEE 2026 is available, and the last date to apply is January 15, 2026.

​ Dual Admission Advantage: AEEE vs. JEE Main

​Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers B.Tech. aspirants a significant advantage by accepting scores from two premier national-level examinations. This dual-route strategy maximizes the chances of securing a seat in one of Amrita’s highly-regarded engineering campuses.

• ​Seat Allotment Strategy: 
  • ​AEEE Score Route: Approximately 70% of the total B.Tech. seats across all Amrita campuses are typically allotted based on the rank secured in the Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) 2026.
  • ​JEE Main Score Route: The remaining 30% of the seats are generally filled using the JEE Main 2026 Percentile Score.
  • ​Choosing Both: Aspirants are highly encouraged to opt for both admission routes during the application process. Amrita will consider the higher score achieved from either the AEEE or the JEE Main for the final merit list and seat allotment, giving the candidate the best possible rank.
• ​Application Fee for Different Modes:
  • ​Candidates must select their preferred mode(s) of admission on the application form, which affects the fee: 
    • ​AEEE Only: INR 1,300
    • ​JEE Main Only: INR 500
    • ​AEEE + JEE Main: INR 1,300 (No extra charge for opting for JEE Main alongside AEEE)
• ​AEEE Exam Pattern Revision:
  • ​A significant update for AEEE 2026 is the revised exam pattern. The Computer Based Test (CBT) will now include a new section on Quantitative Aptitude, making the exam a more comprehensive assessment of the candidate's skills. The exam duration remains 2.5 hours and includes sections on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with negative marking applicable.

​ Key Eligibility and Counselling Prerequisites

​Before proceeding with the application, every aspirant must carefully review and ensure they meet the minimum eligibility criteria set by Amrita University. Fulfillment of these criteria is mandatory for both the AEEE and JEE Main admission channels.

• ​Academic Eligibility Criteria:
  • ​Qualifying Exam: Candidates must have passed (or be appearing for) the Class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognized board.
  • ​Required Subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) must have been studied as compulsory subjects.
  • ​Minimum Marks: A minimum of 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics combined is required. Furthermore, the candidate must have secured not less than 55% marks individually in each of the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
• ​Age Limit: 
  • ​Candidates whose date of birth falls on or after July 1, 2005, are eligible to apply for AEEE 2026.
• ​Post-Exam Counselling: 
  • ​Admission is finalized through the Centralized Seat Allotment Process (CSAP), which is conducted after the announcement of both AEEE and JEE Main results.
  • ​All qualified candidates (via AEEE Rank or JEE Main Percentile) must register for CSAP, where they will submit their campus and B.Tech. branch preferences. Seat allotment is based on the rank, choices, and availability of seats.
