VITEEE — eligibility, marking, quotas & fees

The VIT Engineering Entrance Examination (VITEEE) is conducted by Vellore Institute of Technology for undergraduate engineering admission to the VIT group of institutions — VIT-Vellore, VIT-Chennai, VIT-AP and VIT-Bhopal. It is a computer-based test held at designated centres across India and abroad. [1]

VITEEE-2026 timeline [1]

VITEEE is mandatory for Indian nationals: Class 12 marks, JEE Main or SAT scores are not used for B.Tech admission. There is no lateral entry to B.Tech for diploma holders. [1]

Class 12 marks needed for B.Tech admission [1]

• Age: born on or after 1 July 2004 (as in the Class 10 certificate).
• Nationality: resident or non-resident Indian, OCI or PIO; NRI and foreign applicants use separate forms.
• Only regular, full-time, formal education counts. Candidates who sat multiple board exams in the same academic year are not eligible.
• Attempts: you may appear only once for VITEEE-2026; a violation cancels the application and admission.
• PCB students are eligible only for six bio-oriented branches, such as B.Tech Biotechnology, Bioengineering, CSE (Bioinformatics) and CSE (Health Informatics). [1]

VITEEE-2026 question split (2 hours 30 minutes, English only) [1]

• Marking: +4 for each correct answer, −1 for each wrong answer, 0 for unanswered or marked-for-review questions. All questions are MCQs.
• You book your test city, date and slot yourself on VIT's Online Test Booking System (first come, first served); a booked slot or city cannot be changed.
• Selection is on the VITEEE rank; in counselling you choose campus, programme and fee category. [1]

VIT's admission page lists no caste-based seat reservation. What it gives is a lower eligibility bar of 50% for SC/ST candidates and for applicants from Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and the North-Eastern states (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura) — with a community or nativity certificate at counselling. [1]

• STARS scheme: district toppers (boys and girls) from rural government schools of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh get a 100% waiver of tuition, hostel and basic medical expenses.
• Once allotted, there is no change of branch, campus or fee category. [1]

• Step 1 — register with a valid e-mail and mobile number (OTP verification).
• Step 2 — fill the online form; an application number is generated.
• Step 3 — pay ₹1,350 by net banking, card or Paytm (the equivalent of USD 90 for centres abroad). The fee is the same for all categories and genders and is non-refundable.
• Step 4 — upload photo and signature, then download the filled form; no hard copy is sent to VIT.
• Step 5 — book your slot on OTBS and download the admit card. Missing the slot booking forfeits the fee. [1]

• International Transfer Program: two years at VIT, two years at a partner university abroad.
• Semester Abroad Program: the final semester at a partner university abroad.
• Freshers must live on campus unless a parent or guardian lives in the city. [1]
