Selection Process (Layout Design)

e selection and admission process for VEDA IIT programs involves three or four rounds, depending on the number of applications received.

  • Round 1: Main Test – Candidates who received hall ticket will take a written test generally of three-hours duration at the VEDA IIT campus in Hyderabad.
  • Round 2: Technical & Personal Interview – Shortlisted candidates from the main test will undergo  technical and personal interviews at the VEDA IIT campus in Hyderabad.
  • Round 3: Optional based on sponsoring company requirements.

 

The written exam will be of 3 hrs duration comprising of 1 mark,2marks, 3marks/4marks questions in the following pattern

  • Fill in the blanks
  • Short Answers Questions
  • Problems
