The paper is built on the class 11 and class 12 syllabus in mathematics, physics and chemistry, the three subjects that matter for undergraduate engineering admission. Questions are objective and are answered against a published marking scheme; the number of questions, the section split, the duration and whether the test is held online, at a centre or in a remotely proctored format are announced by the university in the admission notification for each session. Scores are used to prepare a merit list for admission to the
BTech programmes offered by REVA University across its engineering branches, and in some years the same score is also considered for scholarship or fee-concession decisions as notified by the university. Because the pattern and the test window have changed between sessions, candidates should follow the current admission notification on the university website rather than earlier descriptions of the test.
