VITEEE Score 2020

Since the examination is conducted in multiple shifts involving different question papers, the scores from each test will be normalized by using a common scale. This is carried out in order to remove the discrepancies in difficulty levels if any. The scores will be normalized using a statistical method where the scores across different test forms are converted into percentiles and the percentile of two different test forms are considered equivalent. The statistical process VIT uses is referred to as “Equi-Percentile Equating Method’. 

Steps to Calculate VITEEE 2020 Result 

• In order to examine the VITEEE 2020 result, the universities follow the equating methodology.
• Since it is a statistical method, therefore, the VIT universities are capable of adjusting the score of the candidates.
• The scores are taken in different formats in order to compare the ranking and the merit list of the aspirants. 

Reasons for Using Equating Methodology

Since VITEEE exams are conducted in different slots of a day, hence, for adjusting the scores of the candidates, the universities follow the equating methodology. 

• Equipercentile equating process is used to find out the percentile ranks of the candidates. Hene, scores in terms of different formats (however in similar percentile) are categorised for similar ranking. 
• Based on the above point, it can be said that the percentile rank is referred to as the invariant and unique position of the test taker.
• It is advised to the candidates that they do not need to assume their score or rank as per their own estimation on the raw score. 
• Since the computer-based evaluation method will be followed, therefore, no revaluation of answers will be applicable. 

VITEEE Merit List 2020

On the basis of the marks secured by the candidates, a rank list will be published by the authorities. The students can check their rank published along with the scores. Candidates will also be intimated about the ranks through SMS at the registered number.

VITEEE merit list is a unique rank, which is allotted to the aspirants when they go for the counselling session. VITEEE merit list 2020 will be published or will be seen only after the VITEEE 2020 result declaration. The list will be displayed in a descending manner. Therefore, the top-ranked candidates will find their names at the top position of the list. Consequently, at the below position, the low ranked candidates will be listed, who will get less percentile. The candidates will be notified about their ranks through SMS to the registered mobile number. 

VITEEE 2020 Cut off

There is no official cut off declared by VIT. More specifically, VITEEE closing ranks are usually considered by the institutions (which offer undergraduate courses for B.Tech degree) as their cut off marks. In order to be eligible for admission, students must get a higher rank. The rank will be decided by the marks scored by them in the examination. The counselling is conducted in two phases. Generally, the candidates ranked up to 20000, are called for phase 1 counselling. A score of 81-90 can be considered safe for being eligible for admission. Apart from this, both the campus wise closing and streamwise rankings are published by the University.
