VITEEE 2026 STARTS, MAJOR SHIFT IN EXAM PATTERN

Almost all students who prepare for the Joint Entrance Examination appear for the examination for Vellore Institute of Technology. The Vellore Institute of Technology used to have a single campus in Vellore earlier, but nowadays the Vellore Institute has a campus in Chennai too. 

The Vellore Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination (VITEEE) has levelled up with the Joint Entrance Examination, Mains. Although JEE Main takes students to NIT’s and IIIT’s, VITEEE is a much more restricted exam that takes students to campuses of VIT. 

The online examination for VIT has started today and will go on till May 3. Once the examination gets over, the college might put up question papers of every shift on the official website of the college. Several coaching institutes put up the correct answers based on these questions. Although the difficulty level of the exam is similar every year, this time we might get to see a major shift in the exam cutoff.

The cutoff of every branch might see a slight decline. Although no public notice has suggested a change in the difficulty level of the examination, the examination this year will have a negative marks approach. Based on the negative marks approach, students will restrain from answering every question. This will, probably, lead to a decline in the marks a student gets from a total of 500. 

Students are advised to aim for more than 400 marks to get Computer Science or Information Technology in either the Vellore campus or the Chennai campus of the Vellore Institute of Technology. Since the information about the negative marks has been revealed much before the examination, it’ll help students to make a perfect strategy for the examination. 

Students aiming for either computer science or information technology can easily draft a version of the percentage of 125 questions they’ll go for in the examination. The number of questions a student leaves makes their strategy quite strong. Making a strategy before the exam makes a huge difference to the marks a student is going to get in an examination.
