VITEEE 2026 Conduct of Examination
The online system for VITEEE 2026 is used to manage the examination so that candidates from every state can easily complete their exams without any difficulties. It is important that candidates carefully read and follow the guidelines provided by VIT when choosing their test city and booking their examination slots, as most of these details will be unable to be changed after they have been submitted.
Choice of Test City
The city can be chosen based on the state where the candidate resides (Native State), the state where he/she currently resides (Current Address State), or the state where he/she went to school (School State). Once a test city has been selected and the application has been submitted, no changes will be made to the test city selection. In exceptional cases due to administrative or logistical reasons, VIT may allot a nearby test city with available slots, and the same will be communicated to the candidate.
Candidates must carefully check the accuracy of the native state, current address state, and school state information when completing the application. Candidates will not have the option of changing any of these details after the application has been completed.
Online Test Booking System (OTBS)
Candidates must use the Online Test Booking System (OTBS) to book their examination date and session (slot) via VIT’s official website. Through the OTBS system, candidates have the ability to choose their desired date and time for their examination. Slot booking is done on a first-come-first-served basis, subject to availability. The test city selected during application cannot be changed during slot booking.
Online Test Booking Password
A unique Online Test Booking password will be sent to the candidate’s registered email ID. Candidates are responsible for keeping this password confidential. VIT will not be responsible for non-receipt of emails due to incorrect or inactive email addresses, or emails landing in spam folders. The password is required only for booking the test schedule and cannot be used once the booking window closes.
VITEEE 2026 Admit Card
The VITEEE 2026 admit card will be made available in two phases via the OTBS (Online Test Booking System). Once a student has successfully reserved an exam slot, a confirmation slip will be produced, but this slip should not be viewed as the actual admit card. The confirmation slip will only indicate the candidate’s selected exam city, date, time, and subject area. Students who do not make their reservation prior to the cutoff date will automatically receive an assigned reservation based upon the available space within the given timeframe.
On the 48 hours prior to the scheduled exam appointment, an e-Admit (or Electronic) Card will be sent to each student’s registered email account and will be open to download from the OTBS website. The e-Admit Card includes many essential components, including the student’s application number, student photo ID, test centre location, exam date and time. Students must print the e-Admit Card on full-size A4 paper so that all information is legible.
Without a proper e-Admit Card a student will not be permitted entrance to take the exam. Should a student discover any errors or inconsistencies within his or her e-Admit Card, he or she should notify the VIT Admissions Office as soon as possible. The e-Admit Card should be maintained in good condition in preparation for the exam, counselling, and/or admission processes.
VITEEE 2026 Result
The results for the VITEEE 2026 are determined by creating a rank list of candidates based upon their percentile score achieved in the entrance exam. The ranking procedure is extremely accurate and transparent, and therefore there will be no opportunity for re-ranking or re-totalling of scores. Raw scores and answer sheets will not be available for candidates, and any requests made in this regard will not be accepted.
If any candidate is found to be guilty of impersonation, taking the examination multiple times, or committing any type of fraud during the examination, then VIT reserves the right to either withhold the candidate’s ranking and/or cancel their entry into VIT.
Score Calculation and Normalization
Since the VITEEE 2026 Exam is administered over multiple dates with multiple question papers, the normalization process provides fairness in evaluative comparisons of a candidate’s score from all sessions. The normalization process allows for all candidates to be evaluated on an identical scale, ensuring that no candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged due to the session attempted, and the final ranks reflect the candidate’s true performance.
List of Test Cities for VITEEE 2026
The VITEEE 2026 exam is being held in several locations both in India and abroad to make it easier for candidates who live far away from VIT’s campuses to take the exam. When applying online for the exam, the candidate will need to choose a test location from the approved list provided by VIT. After a candidate exceeds the selection submission deadline, he/she will not be able to change their location, regardless of any circumstances.
Candidates are encouraged to review the complete list of VITEEE 2026 test centre locations prior to selecting a location, due to the limited number of available slots and administrative restrictions, test centre assignments may vary based on availability.
