The AEEE / JEE Main candidates desirous of joining the Amrita BTech program have to register for Amrita Centralized Seat Allotment Process (CSAP) by submitting academic preferences and paying the registration fees online.

While selecting the courses and campuses in AEEE counselling, candidates have to take care of the following points:

1. A candidate should enter at least one Academic Preference.
2. A candidate can submit a maximum number of 42 Academic Preferences. A combination of Campus & BTech Branches offered in each campus is called Academic Preference.
3. Repetitions are not allowed – Academic Preference already submitted cannot be repeated.
4. Academic Preference(s) once submitted can be changed only after the publication of the trial allotment and only until the date mentioned on the website.
5. The Academic Preference cannot be changed under any circumstances once one of the preferences is allotted.
6. Download and keep the PDF copy of the sheet containing the Academic Preferences after paying the CSAP Registration fees.
7. In case of any difficulty in the Registration process, post the query in the Query Response System in AOAP.

Via AEEE, candidates can get admission to the following BTech courses that are offered in the following Amrita campuses:

The following factors will be taken into consideration by the authorities while determining the cutoff of AEEE 2024:

• Exam Difficulty: Was the AEEE 2024 tougher than previous years? A higher difficulty level might lead to a lower cutoff.
• Past Trends: How did cut-offs fare in past AEEE exams?
• Applicant Pool: More applicants mean more competition, potentially pushing the cutoff up.
• Seat Availability: The number of seats offered by Amrita University directly impacts the cutoff score.
• Student Intake: The total number of students the institute plans to admit influences the cutoff for each program.

Seat allotment is the process in which the candidates are allotted programs and campuses based on their AEEE ranks and scores. Before the candidates are allotted a seat, the varsity publishes a trial allotment. 

What is trial allotment: Trial allotment is published for the candidates to understand the possibility of getting their highest Academic Preference. To check the trial allotment, candidates can follow the steps below:

• Login with your registered email ID and password.
• The candidate will receive OTP in their registered mobile number to login and check the trial allotment.

Trial allotment does not guarantee admission or the allotment of the same academic preference in the first allotment since candidates are permitted to change their Academic Preferences after trial allotment. Candidates are allowed to change the Academic Preference if they wish to do so, after checking the Academic Preference allotted in the trial run.

After the allotment of the seats, candidates have to practice seat acceptance. It is the process in which the candidates are allowed to accept or opt for a higher preference. Here are the seat acceptance options available for the candidates:

Option 1: Accepted

This means candidates have accepted the offer made in any of the CSAP rounds. Such candidates have the option to slide to a higher branch OR slide within the allotted branch itself, to a lower fee slab. “ACCEPTED” candidates have to pay INR 1,00,000 as partial tuition fees to opt for sliding. Payment should be made on or before the stipulated date, failing which the admission offer will stand cancelled and the candidate will not be considered for the subsequent rounds in CSAP.

There are three options for sliding:

• A candidate is allotted 4th Academic Preference and wants to slide to any of the higher Academic Preferences – 4th / 3rd / 2nd / 1st irrespective of the fee slab.
•  A candidate allotted 4th Academic Preference with 4th fee slab and wants the same Academic Preference as the one which is allotted but with a lower fee slab.
• A candidate is allotted 4th Academic Preference with 2nd fee slab and wants to try higher Academic Preference if and only the fee slab of the probable higher Academic Preference is less than or equal to the currently allotted fee slab. If a higher Academic Preference with lower fees is not available, the software will try to allot a lower fee slab within the currently allotted Academic Preference.

Option 2: Confirmed

Confirmation of the seat is the final stage in CSAP for any candidate. Though the seat is confirmed, they must satisfy the eligibility criteria. Candidate status changes from “ACCEPTED” and “CONFIRMED” in CSAP. Such candidates will then proceed to pay the remaining tuition fees and need not attend succeeding rounds in CSAP. 

Option 3: Waiting List

In this case, candidates are not allotted any of the Academic Preferences submitted. Here, candidates need not pay fees until admission is offered in any one of the CSAP rounds. In case of those candidates who are not offered at least one of the Academic Preferences till the last round of seat allotment, the Registration money paid will be refunded. These candidates can change the Academic Preferences already submitted at the time of registration.

Any refund in AEEE counselling will be made only after submission of fee receipt, Provisional Seat Allotment Order (received by email) and no dues certificate. The refund will be made through account transfer to the account number mentioned in the withdrawal request. Hence, the correct bank account details may be provided in the withdrawal request.

Refund will be initiated only after the final allotment. The refund policy is published on the AEEE website. All refund processes will be online as per the above guidelines.
