VITEEE
VIT Engineering Entrance Examination
About this exam — pattern, marking, syllabus and where it leadsShowHide
VITEEE is VIT's own entrance test for its four campuses. The paper is easier per question than JEE Main but very tightly timed, so it rewards fluency over depth. Like BITSAT it includes English and aptitude sections, and admission is by VITEEE rank alone.
- Duration
- 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Papers
- One paper: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology, English and Aptitude.
- Mode
- Computer-based test, taken remotely or at a centre depending on the year.
Question formats
- Physics — Four-option MCQs

Where this exam leads
The VIT campuses
VIT Vellore · VIT Chennai · VIT-AP Amaravati · VIT Bhopal
Grouped by band rather than ranked one by one, because the ordering changes yearly and a branch at one institute is often worth more than a seat at a higher-ranked one. Check NIRF and the official counselling data before setting your preferences.
We do not publish closing ranks for this exam. Its counselling data is not released in a form we can verify institute by institute, and a plausible-looking invented number is worse than none — take the cut-offs from the conducting body's own counselling reports.
Courses offered
- • B.Tech / B.E. — Computer Science and its variants, which take the highest cut-offs almost everywhere
- • B.Tech / B.E. — Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical
- • Interdisciplinary programmes: Data Science, AI, Mathematics and Computing, Engineering Physics
- • Dual-degree and five-year integrated B.Tech–M.Tech programmes at several institutes
