Overview
Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) has revised the VITEEE 2027 exam pattern for candidates seeking admission to its undergraduate B.Tech programmes. The computer-based examination will now run for 120 minutes instead of 150 minutes and contain 100 multiple-choice questions carrying a total of 400 marks.
As VITEEE is an admission examination, no fixed number of vacancies has been announced. Seats will be allotted across participating VIT campuses and programmes through rank-based counselling, subject to availability and eligibility.
Under the revised marking scheme, candidates will receive four marks for every correct answer, while one mark will be deducted for each incorrect response. The expected section-wise format is 40 Mathematics or Biology questions in 50 minutes, 25 Physics questions in 30 minutes, 25 Chemistry questions in 30 minutes, and 10 combined English–Aptitude questions in 10 minutes.
