AEEE 2026: Exam Dates, Eligibility, Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Cutoff and Counselling

AEEE 2026 (Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination) is a computer-based engineering entrance test conducted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham for B.Tech admissions across its eight campuses in India. Both exam phases are now over — Phase 1 was held from January 29 to February 1, 2026, and Phase 2 from April 24 to 30, 2026. As of June 22, 2026, the CSAP Mop-Up round is in its final hours, with registration closing today — making this the second-to-last opportunity for AEEE 2026 candidates to secure a seat before the Spot Round in July.

• Mop-Up Round Registration: AEEE 2026 CSAP Mop-Up round registration closes today, June 22, 2026. Candidates who did not receive a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 — or who rejected an earlier allotment — must register at aeee.amrita.edu, pay the INR 5,000 CSAP fee, and submit campus and branch preferences before the window closes today.
• Mop-Up Allotment: Seat allotment for the Mop-Up round is expected within 2–3 days of the registration close, around June 24–26, 2026. Allotted candidates must pay INR 1,00,000 as the initial seat acceptance fee to confirm admission. In AEEE 2025, Mop-Up allotment was released 2 days after registration closed.
• Spot Round: After the Mop-Up round, Amrita is expected to hold a Spot Round in the first week of July 2026 for any remaining vacant seats. The Spot Round is first-come, first-served — only candidates already registered for CSAP (INR 5,000 fee paid) are eligible. This will be the final admission opportunity for AEEE 2026.
• CSAP Registration Window: The overall CSAP registration window remains open until June 30, 2026. Candidates with a valid AEEE rank or JEE Main percentile who have not yet registered must do so before June 30 to remain eligible for the Spot Round.

What is AEEE 2026?

The Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) 2026 is the university-level entrance test conducted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham for admission to four-year B.Tech programmes across its eight campuses. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is a deemed-to-be university recognised by the UGC and holds an A++ accreditation from NAAC — the highest possible grade. AEEE is a fully computer-based test held in two phases every year, and the best score across both phases determines the final rank.

AEEE is one of the most sought-after private engineering entrance exams in India, with more than 1.5 lakh candidates registering in recent years. More than 70% of total B.Tech seats at Amrita are filled through the AEEE rank. The remaining seats go to candidates with a qualifying JEE Main 2026 percentile — no AEEE score needed for that path. Both routes use the same CSAP (Centralised Seat Allotment Process) for counselling and seat allocation.

This year, both phases of AEEE 2026 have been completed. Phase 1 ran from January 29 to February 1, 2026, and Phase 2 ran from April 24 to 30, 2026. Results for both phases are out, and the CSAP counselling process is in its final stage — the Mop-Up round registration closes today, June 22, 2026, ahead of the final Spot Round expected in the first week of July.

AEEE 2026 introduced a revised paper pattern with five sections: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Quantitative Aptitude, and English — covering 100 questions for 300 marks in 2 hours 30 minutes. The exam is open to Class 12 pass-outs and appearing candidates who meet the academic and age eligibility criteria.

AEEE 2026 Eligibility Criteria

Before applying for AEEE, you must check whether you meet the eligibility criteria set by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. The university verifies documents at the time of admission, so any gap in eligibility can result in cancellation even after a seat is allotted.

Academic Qualification

You must have passed Class 12 (10+2) or its equivalent from a board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics must be your compulsory subjects in Class 12.

• You need at least 60% aggregate marks in PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics combined).
• You also need at least 50% marks individually in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
• If you are appearing in the Class 12 board exam in 2026, you can apply provisionally. You must meet the required percentage after board results to retain your admission.
• All three subjects must be studied in the same board and completed in the same academic year.

Age Limit

• You must have been born on or after July 1, 2005 to apply for AEEE 2026.
• There is no upper age relaxation for any category.

Nationality

• Indian nationals, Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), and foreign nationals are all eligible.
• NRI candidates are admitted under a separate NRI quota through a different fee structure.

AEEE vs JEE Main Route

Candidates who did not appear in AEEE 2026 can also apply for admission to Amrita using their JEE Main 2026 percentile score. About 30% of B.Tech seats are filled through this route. The eligibility conditions (academic qualification, age) are the same for both routes.

You must note that even if you appeared in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of AEEE, you receive a single rank based on your higher score. Appearing in both phases does not give you two separate ranks.

AEEE 2026 Application Process and Fee

The AEEE 2026 exam registration is now over for both phases. However, the CSAP counselling registration window remains open until June 30, 2026, for candidates who want to apply through the JEE Main percentile route or register for the Spot Round. Registration is done fully online at aeee.amrita.edu.

Steps to Apply for AEEE

• Step 1 – Register: Create a new account on the AEEE portal with your email ID and mobile number. You will receive login credentials.
• Step 2 – Fill Application Form: Enter your personal details, academic details (board, marks, subjects), and contact information.
• Step 3 – Select Exam Mode: Choose whether you want to appear for AEEE or apply through the JEE Main percentile route.
• Step 4 – Choose Phase and Cities: Select your preferred phase (Phase 1, Phase 2, or both) and exam city preferences from the available options.
• Step 5 – Upload Documents: Upload a clear passport-size photograph and your signature in the required format and size.
• Step 6 – Pay Fee and Submit: Pay the application fee online through net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI. Submit the form and download the confirmation page.

AEEE 2026 Application Fee

The AEEE application fee is non-refundable under all circumstances. The INR 600 extra fee for Phase 2 is a low-risk investment — if you score better in Phase 2, that score replaces Phase 1 for rank calculation at no additional advantage to your rank position.

AEEE 2026 Syllabus

The AEEE 2026 syllabus is based on the NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 curriculum for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

How AEEE Rank is Calculated

If you appeared in both phases, your best score from the two attempts is used for ranking. Ranks are not calculated per phase — there is one unified rank list. Since the exam is conducted in multiple shifts across different days, Amrita applies a score normalisation process so that students in a tougher shift are not disadvantaged. The rank on your scorecard is the one used for all CSAP rounds.

In case of a tie, the candidate with higher marks in Mathematics gets the better rank. If still tied, Physics marks decide, followed by Chemistry.

Amrita Campuses and B.Tech Branches

The AEEE 2026 rank gives admission access to 19 B.Tech specialisations across 8 Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham campuses in India. The flagship campus at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu is the largest in terms of seat intake and programme variety. Campuses at Amritapuri, Bengaluru, and Chennai are the next most sought-after in CSAP preferences.

The Coimbatore campus is the most preferred in CSAP. It offers the widest variety of programmes and has the strongest placement record among all Amrita campuses. CSE (especially core CSE and the AI variant) at Coimbatore sees the highest demand and the tightest closing ranks.

The Amritapuri campus in Kerala is the original Amrita campus and is well-known for its research culture and residential environment. The Bengaluru campus is popular among candidates aiming for placement in Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem, given its proximity to major IT companies.

The newer campuses at Faridabad and Haridwar cater primarily to North Indian candidates. They have growing infrastructure and are expanding their programme offerings every year. Closing ranks at these campuses are generally lower than at the South India campuses, making them accessible to candidates with moderate AEEE scores.

AEEE 2026 Preparation Tips

Although AEEE 2026 is over, these preparation strategies will help candidates aiming for AEEE 2027, or for other engineering entrance exams at a similar level. The AEEE syllabus overlaps heavily with JEE Main, so most students prepare for both simultaneously.

Subject-Wise Strategy

• Mathematics: With 40 questions and 120 marks, Mathematics decides your rank more than any other section. Focus on Calculus (differentiation, integration, differential equations), Coordinate Geometry, Algebra, and Probability. Start with NCERT, then move to a standard reference book like RD Sharma or Arihant.
• Physics: Electrostatics, Electromagnetic Induction, and Modern Physics carry the most questions in AEEE. Practise numerical problems daily — accuracy under time pressure is key in CBT mode. HC Verma’s Concepts of Physics is an excellent reference alongside NCERT.
• Chemistry: Organic Chemistry is the easiest section to score in — focus on named reactions, mechanisms, and conversions. For Inorganic Chemistry, stick strictly to NCERT. For Physical Chemistry, practise calculations on equilibrium, electrochemistry, and kinetics.
• Quantitative Aptitude: This section was new in 2026 and tests basic arithmetic. Practise from any standard aptitude book like R.S. Aggarwal. Focus on percentages, ratios, data interpretation, and simple reasoning. 90 seconds per aptitude question is more than enough if you have covered the basics.
• English: At just 5 questions, this is the quickest section. Revise basic grammar rules, synonyms and antonyms, and practise short reading comprehension passages. This section should take no more than 5–7 minutes during the exam.

General Tips

• Take at least 15–20 full-length mock tests in CBT mode in the last two months. Practice on a screen, not on paper — scrolling through questions and saving answers on a computer is a separate skill.
• Solve 5 years of previous AEEE papers under time conditions. Analyse your mistakes after each mock to identify which topics need more work.
• Do not guess randomly. With −1 for every wrong answer, strategic skipping gives you a better net score than blindly attempting every question.
• If you plan to appear in both phases, treat Phase 1 as a full attempt — not a mock. Use the Phase 1 experience to fine-tune your approach for Phase 2.
• Create short formula revision sheets for Physics and Chemistry. Revise them daily in the last 30 days before the exam.
