KIITEE 2027 Academic Qualification
For B.Tech admission through KIITEE 2027, you must have passed or be currently appearing in Class 12 (10+2) or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. A minimum aggregate of 60% in PCM subjects is required for General category students.
Students from CBSE, ICSE and all state boards are eligible, provided their board is recognised by COBSE or the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Students currently appearing in the 2027 board examination can also apply; their admission will be confirmed only after final results meet the minimum marks requirement.
| Qualifying Exam | Minimum Marks Required |
|---|---|

| Class 12 / 10+2 (SC / ST) | 55% aggregate in PCM (based on previous year norms) |
| Diploma in Engineering (Lateral Entry B.Tech) | 60% aggregate in relevant discipline |
KIITEE 2027 Subject Requirements
The subjects you studied at Class 12 level determine which KIITEE programme you qualify for. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are compulsory for B.Tech admission through KIITEE 2027.
| Programme | Compulsory Subjects (Class 12 / Qualifying Exam) |
|---|---|
| B.Tech (all streams except Biotechnology) | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM) |
| B.Tech Biotechnology | Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics |
| B.Sc. Nursing | Physics, Chemistry, Biology (PCB) |
| MCA | Mathematics at 10+2 or graduation level |
| MBA / M.Tech / LLM | As per respective graduation qualification |
Students who studied Biology instead of Mathematics at Class 12 are not eligible for most B.Tech branches. They may apply only for B.Tech Biotechnology if they meet the subject criteria stated above.
Number of Attempts Allowed in KIITEE 2027
KIIT does not officially prescribe a hard cap on the number of KIITEE attempts. However, the year-of-passing requirement — that you must have cleared Class 12 within the last two years or be currently appearing — naturally limits the practical number of attempts for most students.
The following attempt scenarios are typically accepted based on previous years:
- Students who passed Class 12 in 2025 and are appearing for the second time.
- Students who passed Class 12 in 2026 and are appearing after a gap year.
- Students currently appearing in Class 12 in 2027 for the first time.
Students who passed Class 12 before 2025 should check the official KIITEE 2027 prospectus to confirm whether their passing year is still accepted. KIIT may revise its attempt policy in the official notification.
