The COVID-19 pandemic has made us think, communicate and live in a different way altogether. Technology is now becoming part and parcel of our everyday life. Great minds have always reached greater heights by facing challenges in life. Keeping all the safety and dynamically changing circumstances in mind, the admissions for BTech programmes offered at the engineering campuses of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham will be based on the marks secured in the AEEE exam conducted through the remote proctored model, so that the candidates can attend the exam from their homes.
To ensure that the Amrita B Tech aspirants are given a fair opportunity, the University will consider both AEEE 2020 and +2 PCM Marks to prepare the rank list. Apart from this, a certain percentage of seats are reserved for those who wish to attempt for admission on the basis of JEE Mains 2020 (January session) score. Those who have attended SAT in 2019 or 2020 can also apply.
Office of Admissions, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore has been engaging prospective applicants through the Telegram app through dedicated chat sessions every week and through webinars. Candidates and parents can reach out to the University's admission counsellors through these platforms. The office of Admissions will support all the candidates attending AEEE 2020. A dedicated team of admission counsellors, sufficient helpline numbers and staff will be deployed to make sure that there is enough support given to the applicants to attend the examination from home. The University has also said that they will offer another chance if an applicant is unable to attend/complete the examination successfully because of unforeseen circumstances.
