How to Apply

The application is an online form on the VIT admissions website. Everything below is done in one sitting or saved and returned to; nothing is done on paper.

1

Register

Create an account on the VIT admissions website with an email address and mobile number you will still have months from now -- every notice, the admit card and the result reach you there. A registration number is issued; keep it.

2

Fill the form

Personal details, academic record from class 10 onwards, category, and work experience where it applies. The academic figures must match your marksheets exactly, because they are verified later against the originals.

3

Choose test cities

Cities are given in order of preference and allotted on availability, so the first choice is not guaranteed. Pick somewhere you can reach the morning of the exam without an overnight journey.

4

Upload photograph and signature

Both have to meet the format, size and background stated in the notification. A rejected upload is the most common reason a form is left incomplete past the deadline.

5

Pay the fee

Online, through the official portal only. The amount is set afresh in each year’s notification and is lower for SC, ST and PwD candidates. Keep the payment receipt.

6

Submit, then check

Print the completed form. A correction window usually opens afterwards -- it is limited, and it rarely covers every field, so it is a repair, not a second chance.

Apply only through the official portal. No agent can register you, and nobody can change a score once it is declared.

Selection Process

  • The paper covers Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology, Aptitude and English.
  • There is no negative marking, so every question should carry an answer.
  • A rank is declared and counselling is conducted online in phases against it, campus by campus and branch by branch.
  • Candidates offering Biology instead of Mathematics are eligible for the biotechnology-related programmes rather than the full range.
