The VITEEE is known for its competitive environment, drawing lakhs of students from across the country and abroad.

• Examination Mode and Duration:
  • The exam is a Computer-Based Test (CBT).
  • The total duration of the examination is 2 hours and 30 minutes.
• Revised Exam Pattern (Mandatory for Indian Nationals):
  • The question paper consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (or Biology for bio-stream courses), English, and Aptitude.
  • VIT has revised the pattern, and candidates must note the introduction of negative marking. This significant change places a higher value on accuracy over attempting every question, a key factor in preparation strategy.
• Selection and Counselling:
  • Merit list preparation is based purely on the VITEEE rank.
  • Selected candidates will be invited for online counselling, where they can choose their preferred campus and program based on their rank and availability.
