FAQs
Ques. What is the overall chapter-wise weightage distribution in VITEEE Chemistry?
Ans. The whole of Chemistry has 35 questions. Physical Chemistry will have 12–13 questions, Organic Chemistry will have 10–12 questions, and Inorganic Chemistry will have 8–10 questions. High-weightage chapters include Coordination Compounds, Electrochemistry & Chemical Kinetics, and Atomic Structure.
Ques. Is there an official chapter-wise weightage provided by VIT for Chemistry?
Ans. No, there is none. The official VIT website (vit.ac.in) provides only the syllabus of subjects, not chapter-wise weightage. The above data is based on an analysis of previous years’ papers. The weightage shall vary for years, but focusing on the NCERT will help a lot.
