Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad

IIT Hyderabad admission to B.Tech programmes is through JEE Advanced, followed by seat allocation via JoSAA counselling. Established in 2008 as one of the second-generation IITs, IIT Hyderabad has rapidly gained recognition for its research output, interdisciplinary approach, and strong industry partnerships. The institute offers approximately 300 B.Tech seats across 15 branches, with particularly strong programmes in CSE, AI, Electrical, and Biomedical Engineering.

Non-JEE Cutoff Trends (Year-over-Year)

• GATE (M.Tech): GATE cutoff scores for IIT Hyderabad rose in 2025. CSE General cutoff moved from approximately 630 (2024) to 660 (2025), driven by the institute's growing reputation in AI and data science research. Electrical and Mechanical cutoffs increased by 15-20 points.
• IIT JAM (M.Sc): JAM cutoffs saw minor increases. Physics moved from 33 (2024) to 35 (2025), Chemistry from 30 to 32, reflecting growing applicant interest in IIT Hyderabad's interdisciplinary science programmes.
• UCEED (B.Des): UCEED closing rank for B.Des tightened from 680 (2024) to 640 (2025). IIT Hyderabad's Design programme benefits from its focus on human-centred design and technology integration.
• CEED (M.Des): CEED qualifying scores rose by 2-3 points across specialisations, with the highest cutoff at 36 (General) for Visual Design in 2025.

Key Factors Affecting IIT Hyderabad Cutoffs

• JEE Advanced Difficulty: Harder papers push overall qualifying marks down, potentially widening closing ranks for lower-demand branches.
• Seat Matrix: IIT Hyderabad offers a specific number of seats per branch. Branches with fewer seats (especially CSE) see tighter competition.
• Reservation Policy: Government-mandated reservations - OBC-NCL (27%), SC (15%), ST (7.5%), EWS (10%) - create separate merit lists with category-specific cutoffs.
• JoSAA Counselling Rounds: Cutoff ranks typically relax through rounds 1-6 as candidates shuffle preferences and vacate seats.
• Branch Preference Shifts: Growing industry demand for tech and AI has made CSE and related branches increasingly competitive year over year, while traditional branches see gradual cutoff relaxation.

Admission Process Overview

• Step 1: Qualify JEE Main (top 2.5 lakh candidates) to become eligible for JEE Advanced.
• Step 2: Appear for JEE Advanced and secure an All India Rank (AIR).
• Step 3: Register on the JoSAA portal, fill branch and institute preferences.
• Step 4: Seat allocation happens across 6 rounds based on AIR, category, and preference order.
• Step 5: Accept the allocated seat, pay fees, and report to IIT Hyderabad for document verification.
