VITEEE 2010 Analysis
VITEEE 2010 was taken by A total of 1.57 lakh candidates comprising
around 1.24 lakh boys and above 33 thousand girls in 231 centres
in 94 cities — 91 of them in India and 3 abroad. Entrance
examination was being held to fill 3000 seats in 13 B.Tech.
programmes in the VIT University, which also includes 1000 seats
in the VIT Chennai campus to be opened in the forthcoming academic
year of 2010. VIT is the first institution in India accredited
by the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET).
VIT University, Vellore offers B.Tech program in 12 different
streams as follows:
Bioinformatics
Bio-Medical Engineering
Biotechnology
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Science & Engineering
Electronics & Communication Engineering
Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering
Information Technology
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical & Energy Engineering
Difficulty level of the Paper
VITEEE was of two and a half durations and had 120 objective
type questions from class 11th and 12th syllabus of Physics,
Chemistry, Maths and Biology. Students are expected to attempt
along with the compulsory Physics and Chemistry sections, any
one of Biology or Mathematics. The overall syllabus of the tests
coincided with the Tamil Nadu state board syllabus of the subjects.
There is no negative marking.
Similar to last year the question paper was taken back after
the test. Since the paper was not given out to the students,
we at Career Forum had to base our analysis on the feedback
from the students and our own expertise.
Sectionwise Analysis of the Paper:
Physics:
This section generally as usual dominated by the topics from
Electromagnetic Induction, Electrostatics, Electrical Measurements
and Current Electricity. Modern Physics and Magnetostatics ware
also equally weighted in the paper. Optics and Semiconductor-devices
had just one question each. The section was quite easy for the
Career Forum students and test series aspirants. They got many
questions common in the test. An average attempt of 35 questions
correctly would give you a scope in the merit list.
Chemistry:
Dominated by the Organic section topics like nomenclature, different
types of Carbonyl and Nitro compounds. The questions were basically
one step reaction based and hence were not really time consuming.
Few questions were asked on names of reagents. Paper was discretely
fitted with questions from Isomerism, colligative properties,
15 & 16 group elements, quantum numbers. Topics like chemical
kinetics and electrochemical cells also had few questions. The
paper was of the difficulty level acquainted with the Career
Forum students. They found the chemistry paper quite well known
and hence easy to average. Any student is expected to attempt
around 30-35 questions correctly from chemistry to get in to
the merit list.
Mathematics:
The mathematics section was a composite of calculus topics ranging
Applications of Diffferential Equations, Derivatives, Maxima-minima
and Definite integrals. There were also questions from Applications
of Conics, complex numbers, determinants and probability. The
mathematics section was above average in the difficulty level.
An aspirant should have attempted 30+ questions correctly to
get into a good rank.
Biology:
Biology was also not surprising. Genetics and Biotechnology
questions dominated the paper, followed by topics from life
processes – reproduction in angiosperms, animals, humans;
immunity and diseases, cell structure, environmental science
and population and Evolution. The biology paper required a complete
idea of the topics in syllabus. None of the areas were left
untouched. So it would be in either extremes to score in this
section. Extensive study with proper understanding of the topics
would have given the aspirants a chance to score. An attemptability
of 30+ questions should fetch a good rank in the merit list.
Expected Cut-off:
Career Forum analysts consider the VITEEE 2010 paper as EASY
to AVERAGE. There might not be any appreciable change in the
scoring range. A score of 95+ should give you a rank in the
merit list.
Results & Counselling:
Results of VITEEE 2010 would be published in the website, www.vit.ac.in
on or before May 8 2010. Counselling would be held for the candidates
who obtained the first 13,000 ranks from June 2 to 14 as per
the following schedule:
| Ranks |
Date of Counselling |
1-3000 |
June 2 |
3001-5000 |
June 4 |
5001-7000 |

VIT would be providing IGNITE Scholarships, which comprised
three categories, totally worth Rs. five crore. In the first
category, 100% tuition fee waiver would be provided for the
top three higher secondary examination rank holders in each
State, totally numbering about 200 students.
In the second category,
100% tuition fee waiver would be provided for the top 50 VITEEE
students, and in the third category, 50% tuition fee waiver
for students ranked 51 to 100 in VITEEE. Besides, the VIT would
be providing 100% tuition fee waiver and 100% exemption from
hostel and mess fees to the district toppers (one boy and one
girl each) in all the districts of Tamil Nadu from among those
who are studying in government schools in rural areas and appearing
in VITEEE-2010, under the STARS (Support The Advancement of
Rural Students) Scheme.
