What is HITSEEE Application Form 2026?

The HITSEEE application form is the official registration gateway for undergraduate admission at Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS), an autonomous, NAAC A+-accredited university in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The 2026 cycle opened registrations on November 5, 2025 and accepted applications until April 22, 2026. The entrance exam — an online, computer-based test of 60 minutes covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — was held from April 27 to May 2, 2026. Counselling ran from May 13 to 20, 2026, and the academic session for admitted students begins in July 2026.

HITS conducts HITSEEE for three broad programme categories: B.Tech (15+ specialisations including AI, Robotics, CSE, ECE, and Mechanical), B.Arch (5-year programme), and B.Des (Gaming Design, Fashion Design, Communication Design). The application was fully online — no physical submission was required. Students could save and return to the 7-section form before the deadline. NRI and international students were not required to appear for the HITSEEE exam and could apply directly through the admissions portal for management-quota or international seats.

As of June 2026, the university may be considering applications for direct or spot admissions in later rounds ahead of the July session start. Students who missed the April 22 deadline should check the official portal or contact HITS admissions directly to confirm seat availability.

Year Conducting Body Registered (Approx.) Appeared (Approx.) Attendance %
2026 HITS, Chennai ~6,500 ~6,000 ~92%
2025 HITS, Chennai ~6,200 ~5,800 ~93%
2024 HITS, Chennai ~5,900 ~5,500 ~93%
2023 HITS, Chennai ~5,500 ~5,100 ~92%
2022 HITS, Chennai ~5,200 ~4,800 ~92%

Note: HITS does not officially publish year-wise HITSEEE registration and appearance statistics. Figures above are approximate estimates based on widely cited industry data (~5,000–6,000 students appear annually). Verify exact figures at the official website.

HITSEEE registrations have shown a steady upward trend over the past five years, reflecting growing interest in HITS’s engineering and design programmes. The exam peaked in 2026, driven by new specialisations in AI, GenAI, and Robotics. Attendance rates have remained consistently high at around 92–93%, indicating strong intent among registered students. For 2027, registrations are expected to continue growing as the university expands its programme portfolio and international tie-ups.

HITSEEE Application Fee 2026

The HITSEEE 2026 application fee was ₹1,200 for all categories. Unlike many national entrance exams, HITSEEE does not offer a fee waiver or concession based on gender, category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), or economic status — the fee is uniform. Payment was accepted only via online modes; no offline payment (cheque, DD, or cash) was accepted.

Category Application Fee
General ₹1,200
OBC ₹1,200
SC / ST / PwD ₹1,200
NRI / Foreign Nationals As applicable — check official portal for USD equivalent

Payment was accepted via: Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, UPI, and Mobile Wallets. No offline payment mode (demand draft, cheque, or cash) was accepted at any stage.

Note: If your payment fails, do not pay again immediately — wait 48–72 hours for the amount to be auto-refunded to your bank account before making a fresh payment attempt. Raising a duplicate payment before the refund is processed can cause delays and complications.

Note: The HITSEEE application fee is non-refundable under any circumstances — even if your form is rejected, you do not appear for the exam, or you withdraw your application after submission.

The application fee is non-refundable — even if you withdraw your application or do not appear for the exam.

HITSEEE Application Form Correction 2026

HITSEEE 2026 did not offer a formally announced form correction window. Unlike large national exams (JEE Main, NEET) that schedule a specific correction period after registration closes, HITS does not maintain a dedicated edit portal for submitted applications. This makes accuracy at the time of submission critical.

What You Could Correct Before the Deadline

Students who noticed errors before the April 22, 2026 deadline were advised to log in and update their form directly, as the portal allowed edits until final submission with fee payment. Once the application was submitted and fee paid, changes required contacting HITS admissions directly.

Photograph / Signature Contact HITS admissions directly Re-upload may be permitted at the time of document verification
Mobile Number / Email ID Generally not permitted after submission Contact HITS admissions with identity proof; OTP-linked changes are restricted

How to Request a Correction

  1. Email the HITS Admissions Office at the official contact address listed on hindustanuniv.ac.in with your Application Number, the field to be corrected, and supporting documents.
  2. Alternatively, visit the HITS campus admissions office in person with original documents and a copy of your confirmation page.
