Engineering Entrance Exam

Hi.

Students who have previously attempted JEE Main or JEE Advanced can generally apply again, provided they meet the eligibility criteria for the current year. Here's a clear, step-by-step breakdown:

Age limit:

Candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 1998 (for general category; relaxations exist for reserved categories).

Number of attempts:

A candidate can attempt JEE Main up to 3 consecutive years.

Each year, there are usually two sessions (January and April/April & May, depending on the year), and you can appear in both sessions, but it counts as one attempt for eligibility purposes.

Educational qualification:

Candidate must have passed 12th (or equivalent) exam in the last two years or appearing in the current year.

Important: Previous attempts do not disqualify you unless you exceed the 3-year or 6-session limit.

You must have qualified JEE Main in the current year to appear for JEE Advanced.

Number of attempts:

A candidate can attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.

Age limit:

Must meet the age criteria specified for the year (usually similar to JEE Main rules).

Educational qualification:

Must have passed 12th in the previous year or current year.

No — VIT-AP does not admit or offer free seat under EAPCET counselling and you cannot admit to VIT-AP without VITEEE (or management quota).
The clear explanation is described below:

 1. Is VIT-AP EAMCET/ EAPCET rankable?
No.
VIT-AP does not engage in Andhra Pradesh EAPCET counselling.
They do not believe in EAMCET ranks to B.Tech admissions.

The admissions of VIT-AP are largely by way of:

VITEEE (compulsory in merit seats of B.Tech)

Direct/Management quota (increased fee)

Scholarships depend on the VITEEE ranking / board marks (unlimited)

Your EAPCET rank is therefore not accepted to be admitted to VIT-AP.

 2. Is it possible to secure a free/no fee seat in VIT-AP via EAPCET?

No. There are no free seats / scholarship seats on EAPCET rank.

Scholarships are usually provided on the basis of:

Top VITEEE ranks (up to 50k–70k)

State/CBSE toppers (under GV School Scholarship)

VIT-AP does not offer you the slightest advantage based on your EAPCET rank (50006000).

 3. Do you qualify to be enrolled in VIT-AP without writing VITEEE?

Without VITEEE only management quota seats can be done but:

The charges are significantly more expensive ( 2.5 3.5 lakh/year or so, depending on branch).

No scholarship in most cases.

Then, to get a merit seat, VITEEE is mandatory.
