Admission Process
BTech admission is through VIT’s own entrance exam, VITEEE, followed by counselling and seat allotment by merit, rank and preference. Applicants need Class 12 with 60% aggregate (50% for SC/ST and certain categories), with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology. VITEEE 2027 registration closes on 31 March 2027 and the application fee for 2027 is INR 1,450 — please confirm both on viteee.vit.ac.in before applying. MBA admission is through VITBEE or national tests such as CAT, MAT and XAT, plus a personal interview, with an undergraduate degree at 60% aggregate. MTech is through VITMEE and PhD through VITREE. BSc, BCA, BCom, MSc and MCA admission is merit-based on the qualifying exam, with no entrance exam for BSc. JEE Main is not a BTech admission route at VIT. International and NRI applicants have a direct-admission route through the university’s International Relations Office, without VITEEE.
