VITEEE 2025 Counselling Round 5 Fee Payment Final Deadline Just Passed: What's Next?
The VITEEE 2025 Counselling Phase 5 final fee payment deadline was yesterday, July 5, 2025. Understand what happens next, including document verification and campus reporting, to confirm your Higher Education seat at VIT Vellore or VIT Chennai.
For engineering aspirants who received a provisional seat allotment in VITEEE 2025 Counselling Phase 5 (catering to ranks above 1,00,000), a critical window has now closed. The final deadline for the advance fee payment to confirm these allotted seats was yesterday, July 5, 2025. Similarly, candidates from Phase 4 (for ranks 70,001 to 1,00,000) had their final fee payment deadline on July 1, 2025.
The fee payment is a mandatory step in the VITEEE admission process. Failure to pay the specified advance fee by the stipulated deadline leads to the automatic cancellation of the provisionally allotted seat, irrespective of the candidate's rank or preference. This strict adherence to deadlines ensures that seats are efficiently allocated and re-allocated in subsequent rounds if not confirmed.
What Happens After Fee Payment for Admitted Candidates?
For engineering students who have successfully completed their fee payment for VITEEE 2025 Counselling Phase 4 or 5, the next crucial steps involve formalizing their admission process and preparing to commence their Higher Education journey at VIT.
Confirmation of Admission: The advance fee payment is the primary confirmation of your acceptance of the allotted branch and campus. Candidates will typically receive a confirmation receipt or an updated status on their counselling portal, viteee.vit.ac.in. It is advised to download and save this confirmation.
Document Verification: While some preliminary document verification may occur during the online counselling phases, the final and most critical document verification will take place physically at the respective VIT campus.
Candidates must ensure they have all original documents ready, along with multiple sets of photocopies. These typically include:
- VITEEE 2025 Rank Card/Admit Card
- Provisional Allotment Letter
- Fee Payment Receipt(s)
- Class 10th and 12th Mark Sheets and Pass Certificates
- Transfer Certificate / School Leaving Certificate
- Migration Certificate
- Community Certificate (if applicable, for certain categories/scholarships)
- Nativity Certificate (if applicable)
- Medical Fitness Certificate
- Recent Passport-sized Photographs
- Aadhaar Card or other valid Photo ID Proof.
VIT will announce specific dates for physical document verification and orientation sessions for all admitted students, usually closer to the commencement of classes.
Balance Fee Payment: Candidates will be required to pay the remaining balance of their tuition fees as per their fee category and scholarship status. The deadlines for these balance payments are usually staggered and announced by the university.
Orientation and Class Commencement: Following the completion of all admission formalities, VIT will conduct orientation programs to welcome new engineering students and familiarize them with the campus, curriculum, and academic regulations. The exact dates for the commencement of classes will be announced on the official website.
For Candidates Not Yet Allotted a Seat / Missed a Previous Deadline:
While Phase 5 typically marks the conclusion of major allotment rounds for VITEEE, candidates who still haven't secured a seat or missed an earlier phase might explore other options.
Spot Counselling / Additional Rounds: In some cases, if seats remain vacant, universities may conduct spot counselling or additional rounds. Candidates should keep a close watch on the VIT website for any such announcements.
Other Engineering Admissions: It is always advisable for engineering aspirants to have backup plans and explore other engineering admissions opportunities from various state-level or national-level counselling processes, such as JoSAA, JAC Chandigarh, MHT CET, or other private university admissions.
The successful completion of the VITEEE counselling process is a significant milestone for engineering students looking forward to their Higher Education at VIT. Timely action and careful adherence to all university guidelines are paramount.
