To be eligible for VITEEE 2027, students must have scored a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology in Class 12; students born on or after July 1, 2005 also meet the age criterion.
VITEEE (VIT Engineering Entrance Examination) 2027 will be conducted by VIT University for admission to B.Tech programs at its campuses in Vellore, Chennai, Bhopal, and Amaravati. Checking eligibility before applying avoids late-stage disqualification and saves time during the application process.
- Age criterion: Born on or after July 1, 2005.
- Minimum marks: 60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology in Class 12 (50% for SC/ST and students from specified states).
- Compulsory subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for most B.Tech programs; Biology accepted for Biotechnology and Bioinformatics programs.
- Qualifying exam: Passed or appearing in Class 12 or equivalent in 2026 or 2027.
- Number of attempts: No cap — you can appear multiple times as long as you meet the age and academic criteria.

Academic Qualification for VITEEE 2027
Students must have passed or be appearing in Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. The key conditions are:
- Students who passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026 are eligible for VITEEE 2027.
- Students currently in Class 12 in the 2026–27 academic year can apply provisionally.
- A minimum aggregate of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology for bio-related programs) is required.
- Students from the International Baccalaureate (IB) or A-Level system are eligible if they meet the subject and percentage requirements.
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Qualifying Examination | Class 12 or equivalent (any recognised board) |
| Year of Passing | 2025 or 2026 (or appearing in 2027) |
| Minimum Aggregate (General and OBC) | 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology |
| Minimum Aggregate (SC/ST and specified states) | 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology |
| English Requirement | English must be one of the subjects studied in Class 12 |
Age Limit for VITEEE 2027
VIT does not impose a strict upper age limit for VITEEE 2027. Instead, VIT uses a birth-date criterion — students born on or after July 1, 2005 are eligible to appear in the exam.
- Students born before July 1, 2005 will not be eligible under this birth-date criterion.
- There is no lower age limit — students are expected to have completed or be completing Class 12.
- Students who took a gap year after Class 12 remain eligible as long as they satisfy the birth-date condition and hold the required Class 12 percentage.
Based on VITEEE 2025 and 2026 norms, the birth-date cut-off is expected to remain July 1, 2005 for the 2027 cycle. Verify in the official notification once released.
Required Subjects for VITEEE 2027
The subjects you studied in Class 12 determine which B.Tech programs at VIT you can apply to. Physics and Chemistry are mandatory for all programs; the third subject varies by stream.
| B.Tech Program | Required Subjects in Class 12 |
|---|---|
| All Engineering programs (except bio-related) | Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics |
| B.Tech Biotechnology and Bioinformatics | Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Mathematics not mandatory) |
| Students with both Mathematics and Biology | Eligible for all B.Tech programs including bio-related ones |
English is compulsory for all programs. Students who did not study English as a subject in Class 12 are not eligible for VITEEE 2027.
Category-wise Eligibility Relaxation
VIT offers a relaxation in minimum aggregate marks for students from certain reserved categories and specified states. The following table shows the expected norms for VITEEE 2027 based on 2025 and 2026 data:
| Category | Minimum Aggregate in PCM or PCB |
|---|---|
| General and OBC | 60% |
| SC and ST | 50% |
| Students from North Eastern States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura) | 50% |
| Students from Jammu and Kashmir | 50% |
| Students from Himachal Pradesh | 50% |
These relaxation norms are based on previous years and are expected to apply for VITEEE 2027. Confirm the exact figures in the official notification at vit.ac.in once it is published.
Number of Attempts in VITEEE
VIT does not restrict the number of times a student can appear in VITEEE. You can take the exam across multiple years, provided you continue to meet the eligibility requirements at the time of applying.
- Students who appeared in VITEEE 2025 or 2026 without securing admission can reappear in VITEEE 2027.
- You must be born on or after July 1, 2005 to remain within the age window for the 2027 cycle.
- Your Class 12 aggregate must still meet the 60% threshold (or 50% if you belong to a relaxed category) at the time of admission.
This open-attempts policy gives students the opportunity to improve their VITEEE score year on year and increase their chances of getting into a preferred branch or VIT campus.
Eligibility for NRI and Foreign Students
NRI, PIO, and OCI students can apply for VITEEE 2027 under the NRI quota. The eligibility conditions for international students are:
- Must have passed or be appearing in an equivalent of Class 12 from a recognised foreign board.
- Must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.
- Must have secured a minimum of 60% aggregate in the relevant subjects.
- Foreign nationals may apply through the VIT international admissions process as outlined at vit.ac.in.
