Hi,

The competition isn’t based on application count but on the no. of students who have registered for the centralized seat allotment process. In 2020, around 40-45k students applied for the AEEE, however, only 11-12k registered for the centralized seat allotment. This brings out roughly a 1:4 ratio, which means there would roughly be 4 people competing for one seat.

Also, Amrita University takes admissions through JEE Mains, SAT and Pearson test, apart from AEEE, so the students who come through these pathways also have to be considered in the competition.
