Vellore Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination (VITEEE) is held every year for admission to Engineering programmes offered by VITs at Vellore, Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, and Bhopal.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, VIT decided not to conduct the entrance exam and admitted students on the basis of Class 12 marks.
Conducting VITEEE-2020 in various cities with rising infections has become risky and dangerous. To keep the student and parent community safe, VITEEE-2020 stands cancelled. The admission will be based on +2 or Pre-University marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology,” VIT had said.
