IIIT Sonepat Admission Process

B.Tech Admission

IIIT Sonepat assigns all B.Tech seats through JoSAA. Applicants cannot enter these programmes through a management quota, lateral entry route, or an institute-level entrance test.

• Applicants must have passed 10+2 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
• Under JoSAA rules, General and OBC-NCL applicants need at least 75% in Class 12, while SC, ST, and PwD applicants need 65%.
• A valid JEE Main score from Session 1 or Session 2 of the applicable admission year is required.

The JoSAA allocation process follows these steps:

• Step 1: Register for JEE Main, take the examination, and obtain the result declared by NTA.
• Step 2: Use the JEE Main login details to complete online registration on the JoSAA portal.
• Step 3: Arrange the preferred programmes offered by IIITs and GFTIs through online choice filling.
• Step 4: Check the seat assigned in each round according to JEE Main rank, category, and the submitted preference order.
• Step 5: Pay the seat acceptance fee and upload the required documents.
• Step 6: Report to IIIT Sonepat for document checks and final admission confirmation.

PhD Admission

The institute manages PhD selection directly for Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Information Technology, English, and Mathematics. Applicants are shortlisted using GATE or UGC-NET scores and then take a written test and panel interview.

• Applicants need an M.Tech or M.Sc. in a related subject. For specified categories, a B.Tech with a valid GATE score is also accepted.
• Students who have qualified GATE may receive a monthly research fellowship.

IIIT Sonepat Cutoffs

JoSAA closing ranks change each year with the size and profile of the applicant group. For the General category, Gender-Neutral pool in 2025, CSE had the lowest closing rank among the three reported branches.

IIIT Sonepat Placements

The 2025 placement drive produced 114 job offers and an overall placement rate of 58.3%. The highest package reached INR 62 LPA, while the average stood at INR 14 LPA. Software development and product engineering positions contributed mainly to the higher-paying offers.

Companies hiring from software, analytics, fintech, e-commerce, product development, and IT services take part in recruitment. Major IT services firms account for many of the offers. Since Palwal is within reach of the Delhi NCR region, the institute can also connect with technology employers based in Delhi and Gurugram.

IIIT Sonepat Campus and Infrastructure

The Government of Haryana allocated 50 acres at Village Kilohrad in Sonepat for the permanent IIIT Sonepat campus, which is still being developed. The institute currently uses Shri Balwant Institute of Technology in Palwal as its transit campus. Students there have access to classrooms, computer laboratories, a library, and hostel facilities.

Hostels are available for boys and girls, with charges of up to INR 95,000 per year. Palwal has road and rail links with Delhi, Gurugram, and Faridabad. Its position on the Palwal-Delhi National Highway and rail corridor also helps students reach the wider NCR area for internships and placements.

Once ready, the Kilohrad campus will place the institute nearer to Haryana's main industrial corridor and research institutions in the region. Sonepat has connections with Delhi through the Metro and the Northern Railway mainline.

IIIT Sonepat vs IIIT Lucknow vs IIIT Kota

Students allotted a JoSAA seat at IIIT Sonepat may also compare it with IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Kota. These three PPP IIITs were founded from 2013 to 2015. Each uses JoSAA for admission and concentrates on information technology and electronics disciplines.

IIIT Sonepat reported a 2025 highest package of INR 62 LPA and an average package of INR 14 LPA. Its NCR access helps it attract technology recruiters. IIIT Kota's CSE closing rank was 27,400, compared with 32,506 at IIIT Sonepat, which indicates stronger applicant preference for IIIT Kota in that comparison. IIIT Lucknow benefits from being near Lucknow's developing IT corridor. A student's final choice can depend on the preferred branch, location, and JoSAA rank.
