Who can appear

Eligibility to appear

Class 12 Science - PCM

Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics under the selected B.Tech eligibility rules. Biology-based eligible programs can have a different subject route. Verify marks, age, year and program restrictions from VIT.

Eligibility to appear is not the same as eligibility to be admitted. Individual institutions add their own criteria on top of the exam's rules.

Overview

What this exam is

The entrance examination for undergraduate engineering admission at the Vellore Institute of Technology campuses, with rank determining both branch and campus allocation through counselling.

Subjects

What the paper tests

Physics, chemistry, and either mathematics or biology depending on the programme, together with aptitude and English. The biology option opens a restricted set of programmes, so choose the paper according to what you intend to study.

PreparationPlan

How to prepare

The paper is closer to board standard than the national engineering tests, so students preparing for those find it manageable - but the pace is quick and there is no negative marking, which means every question should be attempted. Rank determines campus as well as branch, so understand that trade-off before counselling rather than during it.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Should I take the mathematics or biology paper?

Choose according to what you intend to study. The biology option opens a restricted set of programmes, so selecting it without checking which courses it qualifies you for is a common and avoidable mistake.

Is there negative marking?

No, which means every question should be attempted. Leaving answers blank is the most common way candidates lose rank on this paper.

How does rank affect which campus I get?

Rank determines campus as well as branch, and the campuses differ. Understand that trade-off before counselling opens rather than deciding under time pressure during it.

Do I need separate preparation?

Little. The paper stays close to the Class 11 and 12 syllabus, so students already preparing for the national engineering entrances need mainly to adjust to the pace and format.
