AEEE 2026 Preparation: Amrita University conducts AEEE at the national level annually. The exam is conducted for admission to various courses in the 5 campuses of the university. The university conducts the AEEE (Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination) in computer-based test mode. The preparation strategy for AEEE includes taking mock tests, practising questions from sample papers, the best books to refer to, exam patterns, syllabus, important topics, etc.

The difficulty level of the AEEE 2026 exam will not be much for the students who have been preparing for exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, VITEEE, etc. The preparation level for the exam should thus be at par with the board level and with other engineering entrance exam levels. The questions in the exam will be asked from Maths, Physics, Chemistry and English, which will be of 10+2 level. Read this article to learn the best tips for AEEE preparation 2026.

Best books for AEEE

It is important to study the correct books for AEEE preparation. The best way to start is to be thorough with the Class XI and XII books. For important books, candidates can check the sites which provide books. Students can take the help of the reference books, but it should cover the syllabus. Candidates must look for objective-type questions and practice regularly to get hold of the important topics and keep notes on such topics. Make a list of formulas, and frequently apply them to your questions.

Plan a study timetable

A proper study plan is important to have a disciplined approach towards exam preparation. It is important to plan your objective for preparation well in advance. After selecting the best books and knowing the syllabus and question paper pattern, candidates must divide their time effectively to ensure that they complete their syllabus on time and have enough time for revision.

Make sure to have a strict plan and follow it reliously everyday. Do not go into the preparation process randomly. Make sure to figure out the important topics that come in the exam and prepare a study schedule as per it. Work hard but also work smart.

Begin with the basics

Understanding the basics of each topic is important to secure better marks on the entrance test. This will help you to know the principles behind questions asked in the test and solve questions involving these topics.

If your basics are strong enough, studying each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) will be easier and more interesting. However, if the basics are not clear, then no matter how much effort one puts in, the result will always be theoretical and not meaningful learning.

Practice with previous years/sample papers

An essential part of preparation is to practice with the previous years’ question papers of AEEE. It is imperative to practice as many sample papers as you can to know the weightage of topics from each subject, and also you will be able to find out your weak areas and put the focus on them for improvement.

Keep short notes

While preparing for the exam, make short notes regularly. This will be helpful at the time of revision. Aspirants can write short forms, formulas or abbreviations so that they do not need to go through the entire syllabus again. This will also ensure that all the topics are covered and not even a single topic has to be compromised. The short notes should be crisp and in bulleted points, as topics prepared in such a manner will be easier to notice and therefore convenient during revision.

Revise wisely

After completing each topic from the syllabus of AEEE, candidates are advised to keep at least one month or two for revision. However, do not spend much time on it as it might impact your preparation. Revision at this stage should be quick and try to cover the syllabus by covering each chapter. Take help from the short notes that you made during preparation.

Avoid last-minute preparation

In the last lap of preparation, avoid taking any new topics from any subject. This will create chaos and further confusion. Rather, it is advised to dedicate the time to revise the units, topics and what you have already studied so far. In the last week, candidates should be determined and very subjective in terms of the syllabus to be revised. You should study only those topics which are weak and need improvement.

Take necessary breaks

It is not a very good idea to pressure yourself during preparation. Include stress busters whenever you feel burdened. Watch your favourite television show, go for a movie, a small outing or play your favourite indoor or outdoor games. Always remember, stress will never gain marks in the exam, so better to try avoiding it.
