    VITEEE 2026 Preparation: Last 10–12 Days Strategy

    In the final 10–12 days focus on PYQs and mock tests. Do not start new topics now; revise the topics you’ve already completed.

    Aim for 400+ marks . That requires roughly 100 to 107 correct answers out of 125, so prioritise precision. Expect to spend about 70 to 72 seconds per question on average.

    Book your exam slot on OTBS between April 17 and April 19 . After booking, attempt mock tests in the same time slot you chose to simulate real conditions.

    Subject-wise Focus for VITEEE 2026 Preparation

    Chemistry: concentrate on P-block elements, aldehydes and ketones, polymers, metallurgy , and environmental chemistry questions from recent PYQs. Skip coordination bioorganic topics and advanced surface chemistry if time is tight. Prepare S-block only if you can finish it confidently.

    Physics: prioritise electronic devices (transistors) and atoms and nuclei — radioactivity . Solve the last five years of PYQs for these topics. Avoid spending final days on Doppler effect and detailed potentiometer principles.

    Maths: stick to topics you’ve already covered for JEE Mains. Do not attempt to learn new sections now. Use previous PYQs and full-length mocks to maintain speed and accuracy.

    How to Use Mock Tests and PYQs

    Solve VITEEE PYQs and full mocks under timed conditions in your booked slot. Analyse mistakes immediately and focus revisions on weak areas that cost accuracy.

    Prioritise questions you can solve correctly and quickly. Because of negative marking, skip uncertain attempts rather than guessing wildly.
