The syllabus for the VIT Engineering Entrance Examination (VITEEE) is designed to assess the candidates' knowledge in subjects typically covered in high school (Class 11 and 12) under the CBSE/State Board curriculum. The exam tests your understanding of core subjects related to engineering, primarily Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with an additional section on English.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the syllabus:
1. Physics:
- Units and Measurements: Dimensions and units, SI units, dimensional analysis.
- Kinematics: Motion in one, two, and three dimensions, projectile motion, laws of motion.
- Work, Energy, and Power: Work done by a force, energy, power, and conservation of energy.
- Rotational Motion: Moment of inertia, rotational kinetic energy, torque, angular momentum.
- Gravitation: Newton's law of gravitation, Kepler’s laws, potential energy in a gravitational field.
- Properties of Matter: Elasticity, viscosity, surface tension, and fluid mechanics.
- Thermodynamics: Laws of thermodynamics, heat transfer, thermodynamic processes, entropy.
- Optics: Reflection, refraction, lens, optical instruments, interference, diffraction, polarization.
- Electromagnetic Waves and Communication: Electromagnetic spectrum, wave propagation, modulation.
- Modern Physics: Photoelectric effect, atomic models, nuclear physics, semiconductors.
2. Chemistry:
- Physical Chemistry:
- Atomic structure, chemical bonding, mole concept, thermodynamics, solutions.
- Equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, surface chemistry.
- Inorganic Chemistry:
- Periodic table and periodicity, chemical bonding, s, p, d, and f block elements.
- Coordination compounds, chemical reactions in aqueous solutions.
- Organic Chemistry:
- Hydrocarbons, functional groups, isomerism, chemical reactions, and mechanisms.
- Biomolecules, polymers, and chemistry of life processes.
3. Mathematics:
- Algebra: Matrices, determinants, quadratic equations, and sequences and series.
- Calculus: Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, and applications of derivatives and integrals.
- Coordinate Geometry: Straight lines, circles, conic sections, and coordinate geometry in three dimensions.
- Trigonometry: Trigonometric ratios, identities, equations, and properties of triangles.
- Vectors and 3D Geometry: Vector algebra, scalar and vector products, and geometry in three dimensions.
- Probability and Statistics: Probability theory, permutations, combinations, and measures of central tendency.
4. English (Aptitude):
- English Proficiency: Comprehension passages, synonyms, antonyms, grammar, sentence correction.
- Logical Reasoning: Analogies, coding-decoding, series, puzzles, and critical reasoning.
- Basic English Usage: Sentence formation, word usage, and vocabulary.
Detailed Coverage of Topics:
- Class 11 Topics: You can expect topics related to the fundamental concepts of physics, chemistry, and mathematics from Class 11. These include basic laws of nature, properties of matter, and foundational mathematical concepts, such as functions, algebraic structures, and calculus.
- Class 12 Topics: Advanced concepts such as electromagnetism, organic chemistry reactions, and complex trigonometry are covered more deeply in Class 12 content.
Pattern and Format:
- Duration: The exam is conducted for 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Sections:
- Physics: 40 questions
- Chemistry: 40 questions
- Mathematics: 40 questions
- English & Aptitude: 5 questions on English and 5 on Aptitude
Important Notes:
- Syllabus Variations: The syllabus is based on the CBSE or State Board Class 11 and 12 syllabus. However, it is always recommended to refer to the official VITEEE brochure or website for the most current syllabus and any potential updates.
- Preparation Strategy: Candidates should focus on practicing problems and understanding core concepts rather than memorizing answers. Mock tests and sample papers are very useful in preparing for the exam.
Always ensure you refer to the official VITEEE website for any last-minute changes or updates to the syllabus and exam pattern!
