Commonly asked questions
Q:   When will AEEE 2026 exam take place?
A: 

AEEE 2026 exam dates has been announced. Check AEEE 2026 exam dates below:

  • AEEE 2026 phase 1 exam date: January 29 to February 1, 2026
  • AEEE 2026 phase 2 exam date: April 25 to 30, 2026
Q:   How to score well in AEEE?
A: 
  • Refer to Previous Years Question Papers and Attempt Mock Tests: The full proof method to score well in AEEE is to practice a lot of questions. Previpous year question papers, mock tests and sample papers are the best way to get access to questions. Solving questions will lead to improved speed and accuracy.
  • Solve As Many Numerical Problems as Possible: AEEE exam focuses on testing the candidates comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability. The questions asked in the three subjects of Physics Chemistry and Mathematics are of advanced level and focus on the application of the concepts rather than the concepts themselves.
  • Keep Track of Strengths and Weaknesses: For scoring perfect marks, candidates must be prepared perfectly as well. This means keeping an eye on their strengths and weaknesses and trying to avoid making the same mistake twice. Errors occur when one is unsure of himself/herself, and uncertainty is the last thing any candidate would want while attempting questions in the exam.
  • Set Daily Targets: Setting daily targets serves two purposes. One, the entire syllabus is divided into short-term goals that need to be achieved daily, and two, the focus of the students remains unwavering until the long-term goal is achieved.
  • Develop a Subject-wise Study Plan: Different students have varied levels of command over different subjects. Someone may be good at Physics and Mathematics and need more effort in Chemistry or the other way round.
Q:   How can I take admission in Amrita other than through AEEE?
A:
