VITEEE Physics Syllabus 2027 (Unit-Wise)

The VITEEE Physics syllabus 2027 lists 14 units for 25 questions. Seven units come from Class 11 and seven from Class 12. Class 12 topics are covered in our Class 12 Physics handwritten notes.

• Class 11 now supplies 7 of 14 units. In 2026, only one Physics unit (Mechanics and Properties of Matter) drew on Class 11.
• 25 questions over 14 units means fewer than 2 questions per unit on average. Breadth beats depth in Physics now.
• Thermal Physics (unit 7) lists the most items, 21 by our count, followed by Modern Physics with 18. Units and Measurements lists the fewest, 9.
• Unit 14 shrank: transistors and Boolean algebra are gone, but XOR and XNOR gates were added.

VITEEE Chemistry Syllabus 2027

The VITEEE Chemistry syllabus 2027 has 6 units for 25 questions. It is the longest PDF at 4 pages. Revise chapter theory with the Class 12 Chemistry handwritten notes.

• Inorganic Chemistry (unit 3) grew the most. It now names 20+ specific compounds, from borax and silicones to sulphuric acid manufacture.
• Organic content spans units 5 and 6, about one-third of the syllabus text. Expect 7–8 of 25 questions from it (estimate).
• VIT lists 7 name reactions by name: Clemmensen, Wolff–Kishner, Cannizzaro, Claisen–Schmidt, benzoin, aldol and haloform.
• The PDF names exact preparations, such as anisole, benzophenone, lactic acid and benzylamine. These are direct question sources.

VITEEE Mathematics Syllabus 2027

The VITEEE Maths syllabus 2027 has 10 units for 40 questions, the largest section. The Class 12 Maths handwritten notes cover most Class 12 units.

• Maths carries 160 of 400 marks, 60 more than Physics or Chemistry alone.
• Calculus spans three units (6, 7, 8). Expect 12–13 of 40 questions from it (estimate).
• Coordinate geometry spans units 3 and 5. Expect about 9 questions (estimate).
• Five 2027 Maths topics are not in NCERT at all. They are rank of a matrix, cubic equations, Cauchy MVT, Taylor series and Bernoulli's equation.

VITEEE Biology Syllabus 2027 for BPCEA (PCB/PCMB)

BPCEA candidates answer 40 Biology questions instead of Maths. Biology opens only 6 B.Tech programmes in 2027, down from 7 in 2026. Check VITEEE eligibility before choosing this stream. The Class 12 Biology NCERT notes map to units 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10.

• Biology changed least of all subjects: 5 phrases added and nothing removed.
• Class 12 supplies 5 of 10 units, but those 5 carry about 20 of 40 expected questions (estimate).
• Unit 5 lists 11 named diseases, from malaria to ringworm. Each is a likely one-line question.
• BPCEA candidates need 60% in PCB and 50% in Biology in Class 12, per the 2027 criteria.

B.Tech Programmes Open to BPCEA Candidates in VITEEE 2027

• ECE (Biomedical Engineering) at VIT Vellore appeared in the 2026 BPCEA list but is missing from the 2027 list.
• Three of the six programmes run at VIT Bhopal; Biotechnology runs at three campuses.

VITEEE English and Aptitude Syllabus 2027

English and Aptitude share one 10-minute section with 10 questions and 40 marks. VIT's one-page PDF names 5 aptitude areas and 3 English skills.

• At 60 seconds per question, this is the tightest section. A data-sufficiency item with two statements needs about 45 seconds.
• The aptitude list names 23 question formats across 5 areas, from mixed charts to mirror-image clocks.
• Aptitude fell from 10 to 5 questions in 2027. It is now worth 20 marks, down from 40 in 2026.
• English tests passage comprehension, lines of poems, grammar and pronunciation at Class 12 level.

VITEEE Chapter-Wise Weightage 2027 (Expert Estimate)

VIT does not publish chapter-wise weightage, and it does not release official question papers. The figures below are a Collegedunia expert estimate.

VITEEE Physics Weightage 2027

• Electrostatics, Current Electricity and Optics lead at 2–3 questions each, about 10 marks apiece.
• The four new Class 11 units together should add about 6 questions, roughly 24 marks (estimate).
• Units and Measurements and Mechanical Properties of Matter are 1-question units, worth 4 marks each.

VITEEE Chemistry Weightage 2027

• Physical Chemistry leads with 5–6 questions, about 22 marks, driven by atomic structure, bonding and kinetics.
• Inorganic Chemistry rises to 4–5 questions after the p-block expansion (estimate).
• Unit 6 (acids, amines, biomolecules, polymers) is the lightest at about 3 questions.

VITEEE Maths Weightage 2027

• Differential Calculus and 2D Geometry lead with 5–6 questions each, about 22 marks apiece.
• Vector Algebra is the best return on time: 3–4 questions for about 8 study hours.
• Discrete Maths covers 8 sub-topics for only 2–3 questions, the weakest marks-per-hour ratio.

VITEEE Syllabus 2027 vs JEE Main 2027 vs CBSE Class 12

We matched every VITEEE 2027 unit against the NTA JEE Main 2027 syllabus. Unit lists for JEE sit on the JEE Main Physics syllabus, Chemistry syllabus and Maths syllabus pages. Overlap is weighted by expected VITEEE questions.

• Physics overlaps about 89% with JEE Main 2027. Thermal Physics is the weakest match at 65%. JEE Main 2027 has no Carnot engine, Stefan–Wien laws or Newton's cooling.
• Chemistry overlaps about 73%. Coordination and Material Chemistry is only 45% common, since JEE Main 2027 has no solid state, colloids or catalysis.
• Maths overlaps about 79%. Matrices and Differential Calculus are the least common, at about 60% each.
• Across PCM, overlap averages about 80%. The extra 20% is from 9 of 30 PCM units.

Overlap is a Collegedunia analysis of the official VITEEE 2027 and JEE Main 2027 syllabus texts. The CBSE column shows which VITEEE units the current Class 12 NCERT books teach.

VITEEE-Only Topics Not in JEE Main 2027

• We found 24 VITEEE 2027 topics that JEE Main 2027 does not list. A JEE-only student would see them first in the VITEEE hall.
• Chemistry holds the most VITEEE-only material: s-block, metallurgy, solid state, colloids, polymers and everyday-life chemistry.
• Most VITEEE-only Physics items are single formulas, such as Malus's law. Each takes under an hour to learn.

Topics in VITEEE 2027 That NCERT No Longer Covers

VIT tells candidates to refer to NCERT books, but the 2023 NCERT rationalisation removed several chapters VIT still lists. These gaps need non-NCERT material.

• At least 12 VITEEE 2027 topic blocks are absent from the current NCERT books, across all four science subjects.
• Chemistry has the largest gap: 6 blocks, including whole former chapters such as Solid State and Surface Chemistry.
• Older NCERT editions (before 2023–24) still contain most of these chapters and serve as free source material.

Important Topics for VITEEE 2027: High-Yield vs Low-Yield Units

We ranked each unit by expected marks per study hour. The ratio uses the weightage estimate and the study-hour estimate in this guide. Test each high-yield unit with VITEEE previous year papers.

• Maths units return the most marks per hour, from 0.71 to 1.75. Physics and Chemistry units return 0.50 to 1.00.
• Vector Algebra (1.75) and 3D Geometry (1.40) top the list. Together they offer about 28 marks for about 18 hours.
• Electronics (1.00) is the best Physics unit: 1–2 questions for about 6 hours of diode and gate work.
• Low yield is not 'skip'. With fixed section timers, every unit still feeds its own 25- or 40-question block.

Top 15 Sub-Topics to Revise Before VITEEE 2027

• These sub-topics appear explicitly in the 2027 PDFs and sit inside high-yield units.
• Six of the 15 are Maths sub-topics, matching the 40% share of marks Maths carries.

How Long Does the VITEEE Syllabus 2027 Take to Cover?

These study-hour figures are Collegedunia estimates for a Class 12 student starting in November 2026. They count first-pass learning plus problem practice, not revision.

• An MPCEA candidate needs about 474 hours for a first pass. That splits into 154 Physics, 152 Chemistry, 148 Maths and 20 English-Aptitude hours.
• From November 1, 2026 to April 26, 2027 there are 25 weeks. A first pass at 20 hours a week takes about 24 weeks, which leaves almost no revision time.
• At 25 hours a week, the first pass takes about 19 weeks. That frees 6 weeks for mocks.
• Rotational Dynamics (16 hours) and Physical Chemistry (30 hours) are the biggest single time sinks.
