For engineering aspirants aiming for BTech admission in the academic session 2026-27, a crucial window of opportunity is wide open. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, consistently ranked among India’s top universities, has officially commenced the registration process for the Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) 2026. This announcement is particularly significant as Amrita continues its dual-admission policy, accepting both AEEE 2026 ranks and JEE Main 2026 Percentile Scores for its highly sought-after BTech programs across its numerous campuses, including Coimbatore, Amritapuri, Bengaluru, and Chennai.

​With the registration already underway, candidates must finalize their application strategies. The AEEE is conducted in two phases, offering aspirants multiple attempts to secure their best score. The flexibility of using either or both entrance exams makes the Amrita application a strategic move for serious engineering candidates planning their 2026 entrance schedule.

 AEEE 2026: Key Dates and Dual Admission Process

​The admission structure at Amrita is designed to maximize opportunities for deserving candidates through two distinct channels. Aspirants must be fully aware of the timelines and the weightage given to each exam.

• ​AEEE Phase 1 Registration Deadline: The last date to apply for AEEE 2026 Phase 1 is January 15, 2026. This deadline is critical for those aiming to appear in the first examination slot.
• ​AEEE Phase 1 Exam Dates: The Computer-Based Test (CBT) for Phase 1 is scheduled to take place from January 29 to February 1, 2026. This timing offers an excellent early opportunity to secure a high ranking, just before or after the JEE Main Session 1.
• ​AEEE Phase 2 Exam Dates: A second attempt, Phase 2, is scheduled between April 25 and April 30, 2026, offering a valuable opportunity for score improvement after the JEE Main Session 2.

​B.Tech Dual Admission Channels

• ​AEEE Score (Approx. 70% of Seats): A majority of the seats are allocated based on the candidate’s performance and rank in the AEEE 2026 examination. The best score out of Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be considered.
• ​JEE Main Score (Approx. 30% of Seats): Amrita also accepts the JEE Main 2026 Percentile Score. Candidates can apply through the common application form by selecting the "JEE Main only" or "AEEE + JEE Main" option. This provides a safety net and an alternative path to admission.
• ​Application Fee Flexibility: Candidates applying solely based on JEE Main scores typically have a reduced application fee, while the combined AEEE + JEE Main option ensures all bases are covered with a single, common application form.

​AEEE 2026 Revised Exam Pattern and Preparation

​Familiarizing oneself with the AEEE exam pattern is crucial for targeted preparation, especially since the structure has been revised to be more comprehensive.

• ​Revised Exam Structure: The AEEE 2026 is a Computer-Based Test (CBT) of 2.5 hours (150 minutes) duration, comprising 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for a total of 300 Marks. 
  • ​The latest revision includes a new section: Quantitative Aptitude and English.
  • ​The subject distribution is generally as follows: Mathematics (40 questions), Physics (25 questions), Chemistry (20 questions), and Quantitative Aptitude & English (15 questions).
• ​Marking Scheme: The exam applies negative marking, with +3 marks for every correct answer and -1 mark for every incorrect answer. This emphasizes accuracy alongside speed.
• ​Preparation Strategy: Given the inclusion of the Quantitative Aptitude and English sections, aspirants must broaden their focus: 
  • ​Focus on Fundamentals (PCM): The core syllabus remains the same as Class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). NCERT books are the essential foundation.
  • ​Time Allocation: Practice mock tests based on the revised pattern to strategically manage the 150 minutes, ensuring sufficient time is allocated to the new Aptitude section, which can be a deciding factor for the final rank.
  • ​High-Weightage Topics: Similar to JEE Main, focus on Modern Physics, Electrostatics, Organic Chemistry Nomenclature and Reactions, and Calculus for maximum score impact.

​ The Centralised Seat Allotment Process (CSAP)

​Admission to Amrita's BTech programs is conducted through a Centralised Seat Allotment Process (CSAP), which follows the declaration of AEEE and JEE Main results.

• ​Registration for CSAP: All candidates—whether applying via AEEE Rank or JEE Main Percentile—must separately register for the CSAP counselling process, tentatively scheduled for May 2026. This registration is mandatory for seat allotment.
• ​Best Score Consideration: For candidates who appear in both AEEE Phase 1 and Phase 2, Amrita will consider the better of the two scores/ranks. Similarly, the best score between AEEE and JEE Main will be used for final merit list calculation, offering an optimal outcome.
• ​Campus and Course Selection: During CSAP, candidates can choose their preferred BTech specialisation (like Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Robotics, etc.) and campus locations. Final seat allocation depends on the entrance score, choices filled, and seat availability.

​Conclusion

​The opening of the AEEE 2026 registration is a crucial call to action for all engineering aspirants, providing an excellent, dual-pronged approach to securing admission into a highly-reputed institution. With the Phase 1 registration deadline of January 15, 2026, quickly approaching, candidates are strongly advised to complete the online application immediately on the Amrita Online Application Portal (AOAP). Leveraging both AEEE and JEE Main scores, coupled with a focused preparation strategy tailored to the revised exam pattern, is the definitive roadmap to success for the Amrita BTech admission cycle.
