IIT Hyderabad (IITH): Cutoff, Placement, Fees, Admission 2025, Ranking, Courses

Yes, it is possible to get admission to an M.Tech programme without GATE under certain circumstances. One such circumstance is if the candidate has a BTech degree / MSc (Math/Applied Math) degree from any IIT.  In general, the candidate must have earned a BTech/BE/MSc/Equivalent Degree in any discipline and must have already earned BTech/BE/MSc or, at least, should be in the final year of the respective studies. In the latter case, it would be assumed that the candidate will be able to complete the degree by the time of M.Tech admission.  

Candidates will go through a preliminary shortlisting procedure based on their academic history and GATE score in order to be admitted to the programme. A candidate may be required to take a written exam and/or an interview if they satisfy the cutoff for shortlisting. The number of applications received will determine whether or not a test or interview is required, and candidates will be informed as such. It should be emphasised that the department retains the authority to set a shortlisting cutoff for M.Tech applications and may decide not to accept any candidates if none are thought to be eligible. Being eligible does not automatically mean that a candidate will be invited to the written exam or interview.

The M.Tech programme at IIT Hyderabad has a total tuition fee that varies from INR 24,000 to INR 9 lakh. However, it should be noted that this information is based on unofficial sources and is therefore indicative. To be eligible for admission to the M.Tech programme, candidates must take the GATE exam and successfully clear it. This is a mandatory requirement for all applicants. The department will consider candidates with a degree in B.Tech/B.E/M.Sc or an equivalent qualification from any discipline for initial shortlisting. Once shortlisted, candidates will be required to take a written test and/or participate in an interview to proceed further in the selection process.
