Result

VITEEE 2017 has been conducted successfully from 5th to 16th April, 2017, by the VIT University. The exam was held in three slots:

• Slot 1: 09:00 am to 11:30 am
• Slot 2: 12:30 pm to 03:00 pm
• Slot 3: 04:00 pm to 06:30 pm

They must enter their application number, verification code and password to access their VITEEE Result.

The result calculation is based on the Equipercentile Equating Method by VIT University. It is a statistical method where the exam conducting body, VTU, adjusts scores of candidates on test forms. These scores are taken on different test forms to calculate a comparison for the merit list and ranking of the candidates. This method helps identify the percentile ranks for candidates, whereby scores on different forms with the same percentile rank will be considered equal.
