- VIT does not publish raw marks of all toppers as the rank is based on normalisation across shifts, which gives the percentile.
- Top 500 rankers are eligible for the GVSDP tuition fee waiver scholarship, while top 10 students get a full 100% waiver.
- There will be no re-ranking and re- totaling, since the final ranks are determined with extreme care.

Ques. Who is the VITEEE 2026 AIR 1 topper?
Ans. The VITEEE 2026 AIR 1 topper name has not been announced yet as of May 6, 2026 as the result is expected between May 7–10, 2026. In VITEEE 2025, Gopala Krishna Mantri from Telangana secured the top rank. The 2026 topper's name will be published at viteee.vit.ac.in with the result declaration.
Ques. What score is needed to top VITEEE 2026?
Ans. With the new 500-mark scale and –1 negative marking introduced in 2026, the expected score for AIR 1 is approximately 480–500 marks. Due to the negative marking reducing overall raw scores by an estimated 10–15%, the top rank in 2026 may correspond to a lower raw percentage than older years but will still require near-perfect accuracy across all sections.
