Hello Aspirant,

Yes it is compulsory. Either laptop or desktop PC with web camera either embedded in it or should be fitted separately for Remote proctored exam of VITEEE 2021 because you will be monitored by the invigilators from camera of your PC along with the camera of your smart phone because according to the guidelines released for VITEEE 2021 the candidate should have primary device as Laptop or desktop PC and secondary device should be either smartphone/tablet.  They will be invigilating you and your environment with both the devices so make sure to keep your environment protected and silent otherwise if there would be any disturbance in your environment then it might lead to your disqualification.

This is the first time when VITEEE 2021 is going to be conducted in online proctored mode so according to the guidelines released by them few days back regarding the remote proctored mode,

So you should arrange both the devices before VITEEE 2021 and you can also attempt mock examination which will give you clarity of the way in which exam will be conducted on exam day. So it is much recommended to attempt the mock exam before the real examination.

Specifications for both the devices are mentioned in their notification which you can check out from the link given below :-
