IIIT Hyderabad: Admission 2025, Courses, Fees, Cutoff, Placements, Ranking

Hello Ruchita,

Yes, with a JEE Main rank of 11,200, you are eligible to participate in the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) 2025 counseling process. However, securing admission to IIIT Hyderabad through JoSAA may be challenging due to the institute's high cutoff ranks.

IIIT Hyderabad Admission through JoSAA:

• Non-Participation in JoSAA: IIIT Hyderabad does not participate in the JoSAA counseling process. Instead, it conducts its own separate admissions process for B.Tech programs. Therefore, you cannot secure admission to IIIT Hyderabad through JoSAA, regardless of your JEE Main rank.

Alternative Admission Route to IIIT Hyderabad:

• Direct Admission: IIIT Hyderabad offers direct admission to B.Tech programs based on JEE Main scores. You can apply through their official admissions portal, provided you meet their eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria for Direct Admission:

• JEE Main Score: You must have a valid JEE Main score.

• Class 12 Marks: You should have obtained at least 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in your Class 12 examination.

Application Process:

• Visit the Official Portal: Go to the IIIT Hyderabad admissions portal.

• Register: Create an account and fill in the required details.

• Submit Documents: Upload necessary documents, including your JEE Main scorecard and Class 12 marksheet.

• Application Fee: Pay the non-refundable application fee of Rs. 2,500.

Important Notes:

• No Category-wise Reservation: IIIT Hyderabad does not have category-wise reservation; admissions are purely based on merit.

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 potentially leave IIIT Hyderabad after completing the BTech portion of the integrated program, but you may not receive a BTech degree. The specific details depend on the admission route (LEEE or UGEE) and the IIIT Hyderabad regulations.

LEEE Admission:

If you were admitted through LEEE (Lateral Entry Entrance Examination), which allows direct entry into the second year of the BTech program, you are eligible to leave after completing the BTech requirements without pursuing the MS program.

UGEE Admission:

If you were admitted through UGEE (Undergraduate Entrance Examination) and choose to leave after completing the BTech, you may still be awarded a BTech degree, but you would not be able to pursue the MS portion of the dual degree.

IIIT Hyderabad Regulations:

It's crucial to check the specific regulations of IIIT Hyderabad regarding the dual-degree program, as they may have specific rules about exiting after completing the BTech, as noted in the dual-degree program information from the IIIT Hyderabad website.

Dual Degree Benefits:

A dual degree (BTech + MS) is generally considered to have better career prospects than a standalone BTech degree from IIIT Hyderabad.
