VITEEE 2027 has 100 questions worth 400 marks. The computer-based test lasts two hours. A correct answer gives four marks and a wrong answer loses one mark.
Students choose MPCEA or BPCEA. Mathematics or Biology has 40 questions, Physics and Chemistry have 25 each, and Aptitude and English have five each.
As per the official VITEEE website, the 2027 paper has 100 multiple-choice questions and lasts two hours. The paper is in English and is held as a computer-based test.
| Section | Questions | Maximum marks | Fixed time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics or Biology | 40 | 160 | 50 minutes |
| Physics | 25 | 100 | 30 minutes |
| Chemistry | 25 | 100 | 30 minutes |
| Aptitude | 5 | 20 | 10 minutes with English |
| English | 5 | 20 | 10 minutes with Aptitude |
| Total | 100 | 400 | 120 minutes |
Mathematics or Biology accounts for 40% of the questions. Physics and Chemistry together account for another 50%. Aptitude and English together make up the remaining 10 questions.
VIT has set a separate time limit for each section. English and Aptitude share one 10-minute block, while Mathematics or Biology gets the longest block of 50 minutes.
The official page gives the section time but does not publish a separate time for each question. The average works out to 75 seconds for each Mathematics or Biology question, 72 seconds for each Physics or Chemistry question, and 60 seconds for each English or Aptitude question.
| Response | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +4 |
| Wrong answer | -1 |
| Unanswered or marked for review | 0 |
The maximum raw score is 400. The simplest score calculation is four times the number of correct answers, minus the number of wrong answers.
For example, 70 correct answers, 20 wrong answers and 10 unanswered questions give 280 - 20 = 260 marks. This is a raw-score example. VIT uses the examination result and merit rank for counselling.
| Paper | Sections | Who normally chooses it |
|---|---|---|
| MPCEA | Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English and Aptitude | Students seeking Mathematics-based BTech programmes |
| BPCEA | Biology, Physics, Chemistry, English and Aptitude | Students seeking the Biology-based BTech programmes allowed by VIT |
A student appears only once. PCMB students should choose the paper that matches their intended BTech programmes. The paper choice does not cancel the Class 12 subject and marks rules.
The official Mathematics syllabus has 10 units. They cover matrices, trigonometry and complex numbers, two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometry, vectors, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, probability and statistics, and discrete mathematics.
The official Biology syllabus also has 10 units. It includes taxonomy, cell and molecular biology, reproduction, genetics and evolution, human health, biochemistry, plant and human physiology, biotechnology, biodiversity and ecology.
The official Physics syllabus is divided into 14 units. The topics move from units and mechanics to heat, electricity, magnetism, optics, modern physics and electronics.
The official Chemistry syllabus has six broad units. These cover physical, analytical, inorganic, materials and organic chemistry, along with biomolecules and polymers.
The official English and Aptitude syllabus includes data interpretation, data sufficiency, syllogisms, number series, coding, clocks, calendars and directions. English questions cover short passages or poems, grammar and pronunciation at Class 12 level.
| Part | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Total questions | 125 | 100 |
| Duration | 2 hours 30 minutes | 2 hours |
| Physics | 35 questions | 25 questions |
| Chemistry | 35 questions | 25 questions |
| Aptitude | 10 questions | 5 questions |
| Mathematics or Biology | 40 questions | 40 questions |
| English | 5 questions | 5 questions |
| Marking | +4 for correct, -1 for wrong | +4 for correct, -1 for wrong |
The official 2026 admission page had 125 questions and a 150-minute exam. The 2027 paper is shorter by 25 questions and 30 minutes. Mathematics or Biology and English keep the same question count. Physics, Chemistry and Aptitude have fewer questions.
The overall average remains close to 72 seconds per question. The 2027 paper is different because VIT now gives a fixed time to each section. Students cannot simply treat the full two hours as one common time block.
VITEEE is held at test centres. Students answer the questions on a computer. The exam window has several dates because VIT runs multiple sessions, but each student gets only one attempt.
For 2027, VIT assigns the test city from the correspondence address entered in the application. The application page also asks for a valid address proof.
The VITEEE syllabus gives the subject topics. The question-paper page provides earlier papers and practice material. Older papers may have a different number of questions, so their printed format should be checked before using them as full mocks.
VITEEE 2027 has 100 questions.
The exam lasts two hours.
Yes. A correct answer gives four marks and a wrong answer loses one mark.
