The Integrated B.Tech + MBA combines engineering and management education and is available in CSE and Mechanical Engineering.

Institute of Technology Nirma University Admission Process

IT NU uses programme-specific entrance scores, counselling and departmental selection. B.Tech applicants enter through either the ACPC Gujarat state quota or the institute’s management quota. Postgraduate and PhD applicants follow the selection method set for their course.

B.Tech Admission

JEE Main and GUJCET scores are used for B.Tech selection. ACPC Gujarat fills about 80% of the seats through state counselling, and IT NU fills the other 20% through direct management-quota admission.

1. Complete 10+2 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and at least 60% in aggregate.
2. Obtain a valid JEE Main or GUJCET score.
3. For a state-quota seat, register through the ACPC Gujarat portal and participate in counselling.
4. For a management-quota seat, apply on the IT NU portal. The merit list is prepared from JEE Main or GUJCET scores.

Diploma holders seeking lateral entry must have studied the relevant engineering branch and take part in ACPC Lateral Entry Counselling. Closing ranks differ by branch. CSE and CSE (AI and ML) usually have the most competitive Gujarat state-quota cutoffs, while Civil and Mechanical Engineering generally close at less competitive ranks. Previous ACPC branch-wise closing ranks can help applicants set admission targets.

M.Tech and MCA Admission

For M.Tech, IT NU first considers GATE scores. Applicants who do not hold a valid GATE score may take the institute-level test. MCA selection uses either a NIMCET score or an entrance examination conducted by the institute.

• M.Tech applicants need a relevant B.Tech or BE degree with at least 55%.
• MCA applicants must hold a BCA, B.Sc in Computer Science, or BE/B.Tech and must have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 or undergraduate level.
• Applicants with a valid GATE score receive preference and may qualify for MHRD scholarship support.

PhD Admission

PhD selection takes place twice each year. The relevant department conducts a written examination followed by an interview.

• Applicants need an M.Tech or M.Sc with at least 55%. The minimum is 50% for SC, ST and PwD applicants.
• Some departments may waive the written test for JRF or NET-qualified applicants.
• IT NU offers both full-time and part-time PhD study.

Institute of Technology Nirma University Rankings

IT NU was placed in the 101-150 band for engineering by NIRF in 2025. India Today ranked it 13th among India’s private engineering colleges in 2024. In the 2024 CSR-GHRDC ranking, it held the No. 1 position in Gujarat for engineering institutions.

CSR-GHRDC placed IT NU first in Gujarat within its 2024 category titled Top Leading Engineering Colleges of Super Excellence, based on areas including faculty, research and consultancy output. The institute has a NAAC A+ Grade, and all of its B.Tech programmes carry NBA Tier-I accreditation.

Institute of Technology Nirma University Campus and Infrastructure

IT NU is based on Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway in Ahmedabad, with access to Ahmedabad city, GIFT City and Gandhinagar. The campus contains buildings for individual engineering departments, a central library, research laboratories, a computing centre and a design studio.

Its research facilities include a DST-FIST-funded laboratory, the Centre of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing, and dedicated laboratories for robotics, VLSI design, embedded systems and environmental engineering. Across its departments, the institute has more than 20 research laboratories. Companies from the semiconductor, automotive and IT sectors support active industry-funded projects.

Separate residences are available for male and female students. Other facilities include a central canteen, a health centre and a sports complex with spaces for cricket, football and badminton. Departmental clubs, the student council, and a calendar of technical and cultural festivals support extracurricular participation.

Institute of Technology Nirma University Scholarships

Students who meet the relevant conditions can apply for institutional merit assistance and government-funded scholarship schemes offered through Nirma University, Gujarat and the central government.

Subject to continuation conditions, GATE-qualified M.Tech students receive INR 12,400 each month directly from the Ministry of Education.

Institute of Technology Nirma University vs DA-IICT vs PDEU

Applicants considering private deemed universities in Gujarat often compare IT NU in Ahmedabad with Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT) and Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU), both in Gandhinagar. All three draw candidates through JEE Main and GUJCET, but their programme coverage differs.

With nine engineering branches, IT NU covers more fields than DA-IICT’s ICT-centred portfolio. DA-IICT is focused on ICT and computing and has a documented alumni network across leading technology companies. PDEU is recognised particularly for energy, petroleum and chemical engineering because of its founder-sector focus. Students interested in Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Electrical or other non-ICT branches can find those options at IT NU, while those concentrating only on ICT and computing may also consider DA-IICT. IT NU reports top offers between INR 72 LPA and INR 94 LPA, compared with INR 60+ LPA reported for DA-IICT’s ICT graduates.
