Yes, you can, but it would be better if you prepared for jee mains and jee advance rather than viteee.

So, if you prepare for Jee mains instead, won't that help you pass smaller exams along the way?

You can definitely take a break and prepare, but you have to prepare for the best because there are companies that come for placement in the final years but they do not accept students with educational breaks, so you have to be aware and prepare from now only.

Hello,

There is no upper age limit for the VIT exam so yes you will be eligible to give the exam after a year gap. Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) will release the VITEEE 2023 eligibility criteria along with the official brochure at vit.ac.in. It is compulsory for the candidate to obtain a minimum aggregate of 55% in PCM/PCB for the B.Tech programme. Keep an eye on the official website or the link below for the latest information.
