JNTUH Admission Dates 2027

B.Tech admission to JNTUH constituent colleges is based on TG-EAPCET, which means Telangana Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test. The 2026 counselling rounds have already been completed for the main admission schedule. The next admission cycle for 2027-28 is expected to start with TG-EAPCET 2027 registration.

JNTUH Courses and Fees

JNTUH constituent colleges follow government-regulated fee structures. These fees apply to JNTUHCEH on the main campus and other JNTUH constituent colleges. Private affiliated colleges under JNTUH follow separate TGCHE norms and usually charge higher fees.

At the main campus, B.Tech is available in CSE, ECE, EEE, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, AI and ML, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, and Computer Engineering with Cyber Security specialisation. M.Tech has more than 25 specialisations, including Data Science, Structural Engineering, Power Electronics, Thermal Engineering, Nanotechnology, Environmental Engineering, Mechatronics, Software Engineering, and Computer Network and Information Security.

JNTUH Admission Process

JNTUH uses different entrance routes for UG, PG, and research programmes. B.Tech and integrated engineering admissions are mainly handled through Telangana state counselling, while M.Tech, MBA, MCA, and PhD follow their own selection routes.

B.Tech Admission

For B.Tech, JNTUH constituent colleges admit students through TG-EAPCET state counselling. Government seats are allotted through the state quota, while a small NRI and management quota is filled directly by the institution.

• Eligibility: 10+2 with PCM from a recognised board, with at least 45% aggregate marks, or 40% for SC/ST students
• Entrance: A valid TG-EAPCET rank from a test covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
• Counselling: Web options and online counselling conducted centrally by TGSCHE, the Telangana State Council for Higher Education
• Seat allotment: TG-EAPCET rank, category, and college and branch preference decide the allotment

JNTUHCEH, the main campus college, is one of the most preferred choices in JNTUH counselling. CSE and ECE at JNTUHCEH usually need competitive EAPCET ranks, while Civil and Chemical Engineering normally have easier cutoffs. Separate rank lists are maintained for OC, BC-A/B/C/D/E, SC, and ST categories.

M.Tech Admission

M.Tech seats are filled through GATE scores and TS-PGECET, the Telangana PG Engineering Common Entrance Test, for students without GATE scores. GATE-qualified students get AICTE-sponsored seats with a full monthly stipend.

• Eligibility: B.Tech/BE in the relevant discipline with at least 60% aggregate marks
• Selection: GATE-qualified candidates get priority, and TS-PGECET rank is used for the remaining seats

MBA and MCA Admission

MBA and MCA admissions are based on TS-ICET, the Telangana Integrated Common Entrance Test. TGSCHE conducts this state-level test for management and computer application programmes.

• MBA eligibility: Graduation in any discipline with at least 50% marks
• MCA eligibility: BCA or graduation with Mathematics at degree level or 10+2 level
• Counselling: TGSCHE central counselling based on TS-ICET rank

PhD Admission

JNTUH conducts PhD admission twice every year. Students must take a written research aptitude test and attend an interview at the university. Research is offered in engineering, science, management, and humanities departments at the main campus and constituent colleges.

JNTUH Placements

In 2025-26, the placement cell for the JNTUH main campus, including JNTUHCEH and the university campus, reported more than 600 job offers. The highest package reached INR 52 LPA, and the average package was INR 6 LPA. More than 100 companies visited the campus, and students also received 40 plus paid internship opportunities.

Microsoft, Amazon, Infosys, TCS, Deloitte, Wipro, Accenture, Cognizant, JP Morgan, and Oracle are among the top recruiters at JNTUH. CSE and ECE students usually account for the highest packages and top-company offers. EEE, Mechanical, and Civil students are mainly placed in core roles with PSUs, government organisations, and manufacturing firms, where average packages are lower. Many graduates also choose GATE, higher studies, government jobs, UPSC, or TSPSC examinations.

JNTUH Rankings

JNTUH was placed 81st in the University category and 94th in Engineering in NIRF 2025. It is also ranked 6th among engineering colleges in Telangana in NIRF and is the only state-funded technological university from Telangana in the NIRF list.

The 49.22 NIRF University category score shows JNTUH’s performance in Teaching, Learning and Resources and Outreach and Inclusivity. Research output and Perception scores still leave room for improvement. Since JNTUH is a government university with a large affiliating role, its research activity is mainly driven by faculty-led projects and PhD work in constituent colleges, instead of a publication base as wide as top research universities.

JNTUH Scholarships

JNTUH constituent colleges already follow a low government-regulated fee model, with B.Tech costing INR 1,19,213 for 4 years. Eligible students can also get support through scholarship schemes that cover tuition fees and living costs.

For Telangana SC/ST students, the ePASS fee reimbursement scheme can cover the full tuition fee. Eligible students need to apply on the Telangana ePASS portal, epass.telangana.gov.in, before the deadlines announced for the academic year. GATE-qualified M.Tech students receive INR 12,400 per month from the Ministry of Education, which helps meritorious students fund their M.Tech studies at JNTUH.

JNTUH Campus and Infrastructure

The main JNTUH campus is spread across 89 acres in Kukatpally, Hyderabad. It has the university administration, central research facilities, JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad, and the JNTUH School of Information Technology. Kukatpally is a major residential and IT-linked area of Hyderabad, with access to Gachibowli, HITEC City, and the Hyderabad Metro network.

The campus has engineering and science laboratory complexes, a central university library with digitised journals and research databases, a computing centre, and facilities for innovation and incubation. JNTUH also has DST-funded research labs and AICTE-supported research centres in several departments. The technical training and placement centre on the main campus manages campus recruitment for JNTUHCEH and other constituent college students.

Hostels are available at the main campus and at most constituent colleges for eligible students. Sports facilities include cricket, volleyball, football, and athletics. Through its constituent colleges at Sultanpur, Nachupally (Jagtial), Karimnagar, Manthani, Medak, and other locations, JNTUH extends government engineering education across Telangana.

JNTUH vs JNTUK vs Osmania University

Students in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh who want government-funded engineering education often compare JNTUH with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK) and Osmania University College of Engineering (OUCE), Hyderabad. All three are government institutions in the region, and admission is mainly through TG-EAPCET or the relevant state-level entrance exam.

JNTUH has the stronger NIRF position and higher placement highs among the three. Its Hyderabad location, access to HITEC City, and nearby IT corridor give students a wider recruiter base. JNTUK is the main affiliating university for engineering colleges in coastal Andhra Pradesh and mainly serves AP students. Osmania University’s engineering stream through OUCE is a traditional government engineering college, not a technological university, so its academic scope is narrower, though its humanities, sciences, and law schools are also strong. Telangana students with strong TG-EAPCET ranks should aim for CSE or ECE at JNTUHCEH for the best career outcomes among these options.
