Amrita Entrance Examination - Engineering • Conducted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Amrita University)
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English Topics Drawn from Class 11 & 12 Curriculum
The AEEE syllabus is deliberately anchored to the standard CBSE / State Board Class 11 and Class 12 curriculum, making it more accessible than exams with JEE Advanced-style depth. There is no need to study beyond the NCERT-level scope for any subject, though the Mathematics section demands strong calculation speed given its heavy weightage.
Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations; Matrices and Determinants; Permutations and Combinations; Binomial Theorem; Sequences and Series; Limits, Continuity, and Differentiability; Integral Calculus and Differential Equations; Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles, Conic Sections); Three-Dimensional Geometry; Vector Algebra; Statistics and Probability; Trigonometry; and Mathematical Reasoning.
Units and Measurement; Kinematics; Laws of Motion; Work, Energy, and Power; Rotational Motion; Gravitation; Properties of Solids and Liquids; Thermodynamics; Kinetic Theory of Gases; Oscillations and Waves; Electrostatics; Current Electricity; Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism; Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents; Electromagnetic Waves; Optics (Ray and Wave); Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation; Atoms and Nuclei; and Electronic Devices.
Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry; Structure of Atom; Classification of Elements and Periodicity; Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure; States of Matter; Thermodynamics; Equilibrium; Redox Reactions; Hydrogen; s-Block and p-Block Elements; Organic Chemistry Basic Principles; Hydrocarbons; Environmental Chemistry; Solid State; Solutions; Electrochemistry; Chemical Kinetics; Surface Chemistry; d and f Block Elements; Coordination Compounds; Haloalkanes and Haloarenes; Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers; Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids; Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen; Biomolecules; and Polymers.
Reading comprehension of short passages; synonyms and antonyms; one-word substitution; idioms and phrases; sentence correction and error spotting; and basic grammar rules including tenses, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement. This section tests general proficiency rather than requiring dedicated long-term preparation.
Based on past paper patterns, Calculus (Limits, Differentiation, Integration) and Coordinate Geometry tend to carry the highest concentration of Mathematics questions; Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism dominate Physics; and Organic Chemistry plus Physical Chemistry numericals (Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics) form the bulk of the Chemistry section.
| Subject | High-Weightage Chapters | Moderate-Weightage Chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | Calculus (Limits, Differentiation, Integration), Coordinate Geometry | Vectors, Probability, Complex Numbers, Matrices |
| Physics | Mechanics (Laws of Motion, Work-Energy-Power, Rotational Motion), Electricity & Magnetism | Modern Physics, Optics, Thermodynamics |
| Chemistry | Organic Chemistry (Hydrocarbons, Functional Groups), Physical Chemistry Numericals | Inorganic Chemistry (Periodicity, Coordination Compounds) |
Roughly 45-50% of the Mathematics and Physics syllabus is drawn from Class 11 topics (Sets, Trigonometry, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Thermodynamics basics), while the remaining 50-55% comes from Class 12 topics (Calculus, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Modern Physics). Chemistry follows a similar roughly even split between Class 11 Physical/Inorganic foundations and Class 12 Organic Chemistry and advanced Physical Chemistry topics like Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics.
,Compared to JEE Advanced-level exams, AEEE rarely tests highly abstract or multi-concept-fusion questions in areas like advanced Rotational Mechanics with friction-inclined-plane combinations, or Organic Chemistry's more obscure named reactions. This makes a thorough NCERT-first approach more rewarding for AEEE than for JEE Advanced-oriented preparation.
,Before attempting AEEE, candidates should be able to comfortably solve NCERT exemplar-level problems across all chapters listed above, complete at least 8-10 full-length mock tests under timed conditions, and score consistently above 70% accuracy on previous years' AEEE-specific practice papers.
No, the core Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics syllabus closely follows the same Class 11-12 curriculum as JEE Main, with AEEE placing greater relative weightage on Mathematics.
Most candidates with reasonable English proficiency do not need dedicated preparation; a quick review of grammar rules and vocabulary is usually sufficient.
