GITAM Hyderabad Admission 2026

Students from across India can seek admission to GITAM Hyderabad through a merit-based selection process. Academic results and entrance performance guide selection across its undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes. The university follows a common online admission procedure across its campuses, including Hyderabad.

Depending on the course, applicants may use scores from JEE Main, TS EAMCET, AP EAMCET, CUET, GATE, CAT, MAT or another recognised entrance examination instead of taking GAT. An exemption depends on the programme and the validity and competitiveness of the score. Students must still complete the GITAM application and upload their scorecard. Applicants may also approach their nearest campus directly for walk-in admission assistance.

Undergraduate Admission

B.Tech and BBA are among the undergraduate options at GITAM Hyderabad. GAT provides an entrance route, while accepted national or state examination scores may allow an exemption. Interview requirements differ: BBA includes an interview, whereas B.Tech may not require one.

Programme or requirement	Admission details
B.Tech and most undergraduate programmes	The usual Class 12 or IPE minimum falls within 50% to 60%, with the subjects required for the chosen course. Engineering requires Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
BBA and certain specialisations	A personal interview follows GAT. BBA applicants should expect this interview to be compulsory.
Undergraduate entrance route	Take GAT or submit an accepted entrance score, subject to the rules for the selected programme.

To apply for an undergraduate course, select the programme and Hyderabad campus on the admission portal. Submit the required Class 12 records and entrance details, then complete any interview, counselling, verification and payment steps that apply.

CSE Tuition and Living Costs

Expense	Amount

Fees generally rise slightly each year. GAT scholarships can reduce tuition: good ranks can bring concessions of 25% to 40%, and some students who applied early and cleared scholarship waiting lists have received up to 75%. Scholarship seats are limited, so strong scores early in the cycle matter. Students without a concession pay the full amount, which is higher than the fees at many state colleges.

Postgraduate Admission

Postgraduate options include MBA programmes. Selection draws on qualifying examination marks and entrance scores. GAT is available for postgraduate entry, and the university also considers accepted tests such as CAT, MAT, CUET, GATE and NMAT for relevant courses. The accepted examination depends on the programme.

Admission stage	Postgraduate requirement
Academic documents	Graduation mark sheets and the degree certificate are required for verification.
Entrance score	Submit GAT results or a valid score from an examination accepted for the chosen course.
Further assessment	Selected postgraduate and management programmes may hold an interview or counselling session.

Postgraduate applicants complete the online form, provide their academic records and entrance score, and attend any required assessment. A seat is confirmed after counselling, document checks and timely tuition payment.

PhD Admission

GITAM Hyderabad also admits students to PhD programmes. Its admission framework considers qualifying academic performance and entrance examination results, with a personal interview forming part of selection where applicable. Applicants must meet the eligibility conditions for their chosen programme.

Doctoral applicants use the official admission portal and complete the applicable selection, verification and fee formalities before admission is confirmed.

• The university holds the examination on scheduled dates across several slots.
• Download the admit card from the admission portal before the examination.
• Check the admit card for the date, time and test centre, or the login details for an online test.

Attend an Interview or Counselling Assessment

Some programmes have an assessment after the entrance examination, particularly postgraduate and management courses.

• Shortlisted applicants may be called for a personal interview or counselling session.
• Questions can assess subject knowledge, communication, aptitude and suitability for the course.
• The assessment may take place on the test day or on a separate date.

Prepare for the assessment and bring the required documents when attending in person.

Selected students must attend counselling in the online or offline mode specified by the university. At this stage:

• Confirm your programme choice and Hyderabad campus preference.
• Seats are allotted according to merit rank, available places and applicant preferences.

A provisional offer may be cancelled if the applicant misses counselling within the allotted time.

Pay Tuition and Confirm the Seat
