Vellore Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination • Conducted by Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)
Class 11 & 12 Curriculum Forming the Core Test Content Across Five Sections
The VITEEE syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics is based squarely on the Class 11 and 12 curriculum, broadly aligned with CBSE/NCERT content, making it highly compatible with JEE Main preparation. The Aptitude and English sections, by contrast, draw on general reasoning and language skills rather than a fixed academic syllabus.

| Subject Area | Approximate Emphasis |
|---|---|
| Physics — Electricity & Magnetism | Consistently high across years |
| Chemistry — Organic Chemistry | Significant share of the Chemistry section |
| Mathematics — Calculus & Algebra | Together form the bulk of Maths questions |
| Aptitude — Data Interpretation & Number Series | Most frequently tested aptitude sub-topics |
It is largely similar for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, based on the Class 11/12 NCERT-aligned curriculum, though VITEEE additionally tests Aptitude and English, which JEE Main does not.
A light preparation using standard reasoning and comprehension practice material is usually sufficient, since these sections carry comparatively fewer questions (10 and 5 respectively) than the core science subjects.
No, the Biology option is intended specifically for B.Tech Biotechnology or related programs; standard engineering branches like CSE require the Mathematics section.
