Is VEE 2027 held as a separate exam?
No separate VEE schedule has been published. VISTAS’s programme eligibility pages still say B.Tech merit is based on the Vels Entrance Examination and Class 12 marks, but the only undergraduate test the university announces each year is V-SAT, the Vels Scholarship Admission Test.
V-SAT ranks decide tuition-fee scholarships on undergraduate programmes and feed into admission counselling. In 2024, VISTAS called shortlisted V-SAT candidates for counselling on 26 and 27 April 2024. V-SAT is a VISTAS test and is different from the V-SAT run by Vignan’s university in Andhra Pradesh.

| B.Com, BBA, B.A. Economics | Pass in 10+2 in any stream | Qualifying exam marks |
| MBA | Bachelor’s degree with at least 50% (45% for reserved categories) | Degree marks and a CAT, MAT, TANCET, XAT or Vels Entrance Test score |
These rules are from the VISTAS school-wise eligibility pages. Other schools, such as allied health sciences, law and pharmacy, list their own conditions on the official eligibility page.
