VITEEE Syllabus 

As discussed, there are 5 sections in the exam through which the foundational knowledge of the applicants will be assessed. The nature of the questions will completely be objective and so, the candidates will have to select the correct answer from the given four options. The VITEEE syllabus of all the topics has been given a rundown below: 

Physics 

All 35 questions will be framed from topics majorly covered under the Physics syllabus for class 12th and Physics syllabus for class 11th. Tabulated below are the important topics of the VITEEE syllabus for this section: 

Units	Topics
Properties of Matter	Stress and strain relationship; Young’s modulus; streamline and turbulent flow; thermal expansion of solids; critical velocity; Bernoulli’s theorem; Stefan’s law; laws of viscosity, etc
Laws of Motion & Work, Energy and Power	Rolling friction; work done by a constant force; laws of conservation in linear momentum and its application; work-energy theorem; Motion in a vertical circle; conservative force; elastic and inelastic collision in one and two dimensions; non-conservative forces etc
Current Electricity	Combination of resistors; electric current; V-I Characteristics; internal resistance of cell; potential difference; series and parallel current; Ohm’s Law; the flow of charges in a metallic conductor; meter bridge; Wheatstone bridge etc
Optics	Refraction, reflection and dispersion of light through a prism; polarisation of waves; mirror formula; combination of lenses; thin lens and lens maker’s formula etc

Chemistry
