Dear student,

Without appearing for VITEEE you can take admission in other UG courses such as BA, BSc, BCA, BBA, BCom etc. If you have qualified NATA/JEE Main Paper 2, you can apply for BArch admission. UCEED/VIT ADT qualified candidates are eligible for BDes admission. Thus, there are plenty of courses at VIT Vellore in which admission can be taken without appearing for VITEEE.
Dear Student,
Candidates with a BSc or any undergraduate degree from a recognised university are eligible for MSc Biotechnology Integrated courses at VIT. The MSc Admission Procedure at VIT Vellore is as follows; candidates who are eligible must complete the VIT Vellore application form.
