Yes, you can apply for a Ph.D. at IITs after completing your M.Tech from IIIT Hyderabad, but it depends on certain conditions. Your online M.Tech should be AICTE or UGC approved, and you should meet the minimum marks/CGPA requirement. Some IITs may have restrictions for online or part-time M.Tech programs, so it’s important to check the specific eligibility criteria of the IIT you want to apply to. Also, you may need a valid GATE score depending on the department.

IIIT Hyderabad’s selection is mainly based on performance in the channels they accept (JEE Main ranks via JoSAA for some seats, their own UGEE, lateral entry, or other competent-exam/olympiad modes), and the Class XII percentage is typically an eligibility filter rather than the primary selection metric. When institutes mention a percentage threshold (like 60%), they usually refer to the overall aggregate marks in Class 12 rather than a separate PCM-only aggregate — but wording in bulletins changes, so the safest approach is to always check the current year’s official IIIT-H admissions prospectus. Practically speaking, strong performance in JEE/UGEE/other accepted channels is what determines your admission. If you meet the minimum eligibility (pass with required subjects including Mathematics and Physics), then concentrate on performing well in the competitive test or JEE rank.

Thank you!

Hello Aspirant,

You can easily get the UGC NET question paper of political Science and Hindi very easy from its official website and also from trusted website.

You can download the question paper from the below link-

All the best for your UGC NET Examination.

At 234 marks in 2025, you are unlikely to secure a seat in any MBBS or BDS program under both state and AIQ rounds. Instead, you can try out alternatives such as Alliedhealth sciences/paramedical courses, non-clinical undergraduate degrees, Ayush or other medical programs.

The IIIT Hyderabad PDM (Postgraduate Diploma in Machine Learning/AI/Data Science) interview is meant to check your understanding of basics, problem-solving ability, and clarity of thought. To prepare, you should focus on three main areas.

First, revise the important subjects. You need to be clear about programming basics, especially in Python. Revise data structures like arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and trees. Brush up on algorithms like searching, sorting, and recursion. Go through core mathematics that supports machine learning, such as linear algebra, probability, and calculus. Review statistics topics like mean, variance, distributions, and hypothesis testing.

Second, practice problem-solving. Go to coding platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codeforces and try solving medium-level problems. You do not need to solve very hard ones, but be comfortable with writing clean and logical code. For mathematics, practice solving small problems that involve probability, matrices, and statistics.

Third, prepare for machine learning basics. You should know what supervised and unsupervised learning are, what regression and classification mean, and how common algorithms like decision trees, k-means, and linear regression work at a basic level. They usually test whether you understand the concepts, not whether you have done big projects.

In the interview, they may also ask you to solve small logical puzzles or math questions to see how you think. Be clear in explaining your thought process step by step, even if you are not fully sure of the answer.

Also, prepare to talk about your motivation. They may ask why you want to join IIIT Hyderabad’s PDM program, what your career goals are, and if you have done any projects, internships, or coursework related to coding or data science.

Hello Mr. Bini,

Considering your son's rank in JEE Main (3715 in General category, Maharashtra), here below is the categorization that might help you narrow down the options:

CSE in NIT Calicut (or Other NITs):

• CSE is a very popular branch with lots of placement opportunities if your son is looking at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and Calicut he won't go wrong with CSE.
• If your son likes coding, software and tech then CSE in NIT is a great option.
• The NITs that maintain a good CSE department and good placement are: Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal.

ECE in IIIT Hyderabad:

• IIIT-Hyderabad is a good institute with excellent academic and research environment particularly for ECE and other related interdisciplinary streams, particularly in the area of AI/ML, VLSI.
• The placement of IIIT-Hyderabad is excellent because other than IITs, IIIT-H students have the best placement options, particularly for research oriented/product based roles.
• If your son likes a research driven curriculum and he may think of higher studies or work in tech heavy roles, IIIT-H ECE is arguably the best choice of all options.

ECE in NIT Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Rourkela:

• These are very good NITs with good ECE department and strong industry partnerships.
• The placement is good, but is not as strong compared to CSE branches or IIIT-Hyderabad ECE.

If the emphasis is on core tech roles and software engineering, get him a place in CSE at a top NIT (ideally Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal). If there is a willingness to accept a comprehensive, research-based academic program, with future scope in core tech, AI or higher studies, then ECE at IIIT Hyderabad could be the best long term option. Do not opt for lower-tier NITs if you can get him into one of these higher tier institutes.

Yes, you can exit the 5-year integrated B.Tech + MS course at IIIT Hyderabad after completing the B.Tech portion , but there are some important things to keep in mind:

1. Official Policy (Early Exit Option)

IIIT Hyderabad does allow early exit from the dual-degree (B.Tech + MS) program after 4 years , with just the B.Tech degree, provided you meet the graduation requirements for the B.Tech component.

2. Conditions for Exit

• You must complete all the required credits and coursework for the B.Tech degree.

• You need to formally apply for withdrawal from the MS portion.

• Your request must be approved by the academic office or program coordinator.

3. Impact of Leaving the MS Part

• You will not receive the MS degree or benefits like thesis/project work under faculty guidance.

• You might miss out on research opportunities that could help with jobs or higher studies.

• However, your B.Tech degree remains fully valid and respected.

4. Why Students Choose to Exit

• Job placements after B.Tech

• Wanting to pursue MS or MBA abroad

• Interest shift away from research

• Time or financial constraints

• Speak to your academic advisor or program coordinator.

• Check the institute’s academic manual or policies for formal steps.

• If needed, I can help you write a polite request or email to the academic office.

Hello Komal,

With an 88 percentile in JEE Main under the EWS category, your estimated All India Rank (AIR) is approximately 12,000 . Admission to the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad is primarily based on JEE Main scores. In 2024, the closing ranks for various courses were:

• Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) : Ranks between 866 and 1687 .
  
  

• Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Ranks between 2136 and 4606 .

Given your estimated rank, it's unlikely to secure admission to CSE or ECE at IIIT Hyderabad. However, you might consider other IIITs where the closing ranks are higher. For instance, IIITM Gwalior had closing ranks of 935 for EWS candidates in 2022.

Additionally, explore other engineering colleges and consider alternative courses or specializations that align with your interests and rank.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

With an 88 percentile in the EWS category, it's highly unlikely you'll secure admission to IIIT Hyderabad through the JEE Main channel. IIIT Hyderabad typically accepts candidates with ranks far higher than what an 88 percentile would correspond to (often in the top few thousand, whereas 88 percentile might be around rank 1.2–1.5 lakh) .
