VITEEE 2027 eligibility requires you to have been born on or after July 1, 2005, passed or be appearing in Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology, and secured at least 60% aggregate in these subjects (50% for SC/ST students).
VIT University conducts VITEEE each year for admission to B.Tech programmes across its campuses in Vellore, Chennai, Bhopal, and Amaravati. Before you apply, verify that you meet every eligibility condition — age limit, subject combination, minimum marks, and nationality.

- Age limit: Born on or after July 1, 2005.
- Qualifying exam: Passed or appearing in 10+2 or equivalent in 2027.
- Subjects required: PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) or PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
- Minimum marks: 60% aggregate for General/OBC/EWS; 50% for SC/ST and PwD students.
- Number of attempts: No restriction — you may appear in VITEEE across multiple years.

VITEEE 2027 Age Limit
You must be born on or after July 1, 2005 to apply for VITEEE 2027. This places an effective age ceiling of 22 years as of July 2027. VIT does not declare a separate upper age limit — the date-of-birth lower bound is the only age condition you need to satisfy.
Students born before July 1, 2005 are not eligible to apply for VITEEE 2027, regardless of their Class 12 marks or subject combination. The same birth-date condition applies to all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, PwD, and NRI students alike.
| Category | Date of Birth Condition |
|---|---|
| General | Born on or after July 1, 2005 |
| OBC / EWS | Born on or after July 1, 2005 |
| SC / ST | Born on or after July 1, 2005 |
| PwD | Born on or after July 1, 2005 |
| NRI / PIO / OCI | Born on or after July 1, 2005 |
Academic Qualification and Subject Requirements
You must have passed Class 12 (10+2) or its equivalent from a recognised board, or be appearing in the same in 2027. The subjects you studied at Class 12 level directly determine which B.Tech programmes you can apply for at VIT.
Accepted subject combinations and their programme scope:
- PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics): Eligible for all B.Tech programmes except those requiring Biology as a core subject.
- PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology): Eligible for B.Tech Biotechnology and B.Tech Bioinformatics only.
- PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology): Eligible for all B.Tech programmes at VIT, including Biotechnology and Bioinformatics.
If you studied Mathematics as an additional subject alongside a PCB combination, VIT treats you as a PCM student and opens all programme options to you. Vocational 10+2 combinations are accepted only if recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
| Subject Combination | B.Tech Programmes Accessible |
|---|---|
| PCM | All B.Tech programmes (except Biotechnology/Bioinformatics-only tracks) |
| PCB | B.Tech Biotechnology, B.Tech Bioinformatics |
| PCMB | All B.Tech programmes including Biotechnology and Bioinformatics |
Minimum Marks Required for VITEEE 2027
You need a minimum 60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology at the Class 12 level to be eligible for VITEEE 2027. VIT calculates this percentage using your marks in the three relevant subjects only — not across your overall Class 12 result.
Students from reserved categories receive a relaxed threshold of 50% aggregate in the relevant subjects. Students with disabilities (PwD) are also eligible under the 50% threshold.
| Category | Minimum Aggregate in Class 12 |
|---|---|
| General | 60% in PCM or PCB |
| OBC / EWS | 60% in PCM or PCB |
| SC / ST | 50% in PCM or PCB |
| PwD (Differently-Abled) | 50% in PCM or PCB |
| NRI / PIO / OCI | 60% in PCM or PCB |
If you are appearing in Class 12 in 2027, you can apply provisionally. Admission is confirmed only after you submit final marksheets showing you meet the minimum percentage.
Number of Attempts in VITEEE
VITEEE places no restriction on the number of attempts. You may appear in the exam across consecutive or non-consecutive years, provided you satisfy the age limit and academic requirements in the year you apply.
Gap-year students remain fully eligible for VITEEE 2027, as do students who appeared in an earlier VITEEE cycle. Unlike some national engineering exams, VITEEE does not impose a fixed attempt ceiling per student.
| Attempt Rule | VITEEE Policy |
|---|---|
| Maximum attempts allowed | No restriction |
| Gap-year students eligible | Yes, if within age limit |
| Multiple-year attempts permitted | Yes |
| Attempt windows per year | One exam window per year |

Ques. How many times can I attempt VITEEE?
Ans. There is no restriction on the number of attempts. You may appear in VITEEE across multiple years, provided you meet the age limit and other eligibility conditions in each year you apply.
Ques. What is the minimum percentage needed for VITEEE 2027?
Ans. General, OBC, and EWS students need a minimum 60% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology in Class 12. SC, ST, and PwD students need a minimum of 50% aggregate in the relevant subjects.
Ques. Are Class 12 appearing students eligible for VITEEE 2027?
Ans. Yes. Students appearing in Class 12 in 2027 can apply for VITEEE 2027 on a provisional basis. Admission is confirmed only after they submit final marksheets proving the required minimum percentage.
