Out of the 398 total seat intake for M.Tech specialisations offered at NIT Hamirpur. The M.Tech specialisations offer 19 seats each, whereas, the integrated programmes offer 28 seats for each course.

If the seats are vacant after three rounds of CCMT counselling then the seats are allotted through National Spot Round (NSR) Counselling. Candidates who have a valid GATE score should appear for CCMT Counselling to get provisional admission into the M.Tech programme.

NIT Hamirpur M.Tech admission takes place through the merit secured in GATE entrance examinations. Candidates with a valid GATE score will have to apply for CCMT counselling to apply for admission into the programme once they have appeared for the exam.

Therefore, a valid GATE score is necessary and candidates can not gain admission without it.

NIT Hamirpur M.Tech cutoffs are following an inconsistent trend. Depending on which specialisation one is looking for the cutoffs do not follow a pattern each year. For example, the M.Tech cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering was 468 in the General AI category for 2024, in 2023 it was 374 and in 2022 it was 408. Therefore, candidates applying for NIT M.Tech admission can't rely on a trend when applying.

At the time of admission, candidates will have to choose the desired specialisation that they want to take admission in. If candidates have not completed their graduation they can get into an integrated M.Tech programme which is five years long.
