VITEEE Exam Experience

Reflecting back on my VITEEE exam experience from a few months ago, it feels like it happened just yesterday. I remember the anticipation and nervous excitement as I entered the exam hall for my evening slot. After logging in with my application number, I settled into my seat, ready to tackle the challenge ahead. As the exam began, I was pleasantly surprised by how manageable it was. Here’s a detailed account of my experience, along with some key advice for future aspirants.

Chemistry Insights

For my slot, 25 out of the 40 chemistry questions were from organic chemistry. This section was a breeze for me because I had thoroughly revised it. Make sure not to skip revising organic chemistry, as these 25 marks were easy to secure. Surprisingly, there were only two questions from inorganic chemistry, and none from coordination compounds.

In physical chemistry, the majority of questions focused on chemical kinetics and solid state, with no questions from the class 11 syllabus. This was unexpected, so I suggest concentrating on these areas.

Math Breakdown

Math was quite balanced between class 11 and class 12 syllabi. Most questions were from class 11 topics like coordinate geometry and conics, and class 12 topics like plane and straight line. Vectors also featured prominently, with many easy questions from this topic.

I was taken aback by the five questions from class 12 relations and functions, including two on binary operations. There was even one question on tautology. Calculus was a bit tricky, with nine questions in total—four on differential equations and three on definite integrals. Matrix and determinant questions were minimal, with only two, and there was one easy question each from inverse trigonometry and complex numbers. Overall, about 80% of the math questions were from the class 12 syllabus, with a significant portion on coordinate geometry and planes.

Physics Highlights

Physics had its surprises too. Only four questions came from modern physics, including one on semiconductors. These were among the easiest questions, focusing on basic concepts like half-life and electron energy levels. Unfortunately, there were not many of these straightforward questions.

A significant chunk, 22 questions, was from electrostatics and magnetism—these are clearly vital chapters to study. The questions varied in difficulty, from easy to tricky. There were also a few challenging questions from ray optics and laws of motion, with two questions from each topic.

English Section

The English section was a walk in the park. It consisted of five very easy questions that could be completed in a couple of minutes. One point to note: a question about the number of syllables in a word seems to appear in every slot, so it’s worth looking this up beforehand to avoid losing an easy mark.

In summary, 85% of the questions were from the class 12 syllabus. The overall difficulty was easy to moderate, with some tough questions in the physics section. Here’s a brief difficulty ranking for the subjects: Physics > Maths > Chemistry. For chemistry, stick closely to NCERT theory, especially organic chemistry. In math, around 60% of the questions were formula-based. For physics, understanding the concepts is crucial; don’t just rely on formulas.

• Ignore Right-Wrong Ratio Rumors: There’s a myth about a right-answer wrong-answer ratio affecting your evaluation. This isn’t true. Feel free to guess answers where needed—attempting all questions can only help your rank.

• Start Test Strategically: When prompted to start the test, don’t rush. Waiting a moment can delay the timer on your system, giving you extra minutes at the end.

• Technical Issues: If your system malfunctions, don’t panic. The invigilators will either change your system or seat, and you’ll receive extra time.

• Login and Materials: Your login ID is your application number, and the password will be provided. Bring your own pen, as they will give you a blank sheet of paper.

I hope these insights help future test-takers. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments—I remember how anxious I was the night before the exam. Good luck, and follow me for more tips!
