Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2, 3. Let
$G$ be an exceptional simple algebraic group over
$k$ of type
${{\text{F}}_{4}},$
$^{1}{{\text{E}}_{6}}$
or
${{\text{E}}_{7}}$
with trivial Tits algebras. Let
$X$ be a projective
$G$-homogeneous variety. If
$G$ is of type
${{\text{E}}_{7}},$ we assume in addition that the respective parabolic subgroup is of type
${{\text{P}}_{7}}.$ The main result of the paper says that the degree map on the group of zero cycles of
$X$ is injective.
