The KIITEE 2026 syllabus and pattern has now been officially released on the KIIT website for B.Tech and other courses. The exam will begin in April 2026 and you’ll need to focus on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. In this article we’ll provide a detailed breakdown to help you prepare.
KIITEE 2026 Exam Pattern: Understand the complete format
The KIITEE 2026 exam pattern is simply conducted in online CBT mode, lasting 150 minutes and containing 120 MCQs. Each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) has 40 questions for a total of 480 marks. Correct answers are awarded +4 marks, wrong answers -1 mark and no marks for unattempted attempts.
Check out this table for a quick overview of the KITI 2026 Batch exam pattern:
| Parameter | Details |
| Mode | Online (CBT) |
| Duration | 150 minutes |
| Questions | 120 MCQs (40 per subject) |
| Marking Scheme | +4 (correct), -1 (incorrect) |
| Language | English only |
| Phases | Phase 1: April 16-20, 2026 |
You can easily switch between questions but time management is also important as negative marking can reduce the score.
KIITEE 2026 Syllabus: Subject-Wise Detailed Topics
The KIITEE syllabus is based on the Class 11th and 12th NCERT level but focuses on specific topics. You can download the PDF from the official website. Each subject has high-weightage topics.

Comparative Trends of Last 3 Years (2023-2025)
| Subject | Most Repeated Topics (High Weightage) | Minor Changes/Trends |
| Physics | Mechanics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Waves | Slight increase in Heat & Thermodynamics focus |
| Chemistry | Chemical Bonding organic Chemistry (Hydrocarbons), Thermodynamics, Equilibrium | Coordination Compounds gaining slight emphasis |
| Maths | Calculus (Differentiation & Integration), Trigonometry, Algebra | Greater focus on Vectors and 3D Geometry |
This consistency suggests that candidates should prioritize these larger chapters. Newer trends show a slight shift to include more application-based questions in thermodynamics, electrostatics, organic chemistry and 3D geometry.
The syllabus information is aligned with the official KIITEE 2026 brochure and exam notification for accurate coverage.
High-Weightage Topics Analysis: Data-Driven Insights
Recent trends show 30% Mechanics in Physics, 25% Organic in Chemistry and 35% Calculus in Math. Imagine this chart (actually created with a tool):
| Subject | High-Weightage Topics | Expected Questions |
| Physics | Mechanics, Electrostatics | 15-20 |
| Chemistry | Organic, Thermodynamics | 12-15 |
| Maths | Calculus, Algebra | 18-22 |
