What is IIITH PGEE Result 2026?
The IIITH PGEE result is the official outcome of the Post Graduate Entrance Examination conducted by the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT-H). It determines admission to M.Tech, M.S. by Research, and Ph.D. programmes at one of India’s most respected research-focused technology institutes.
For M.Tech programmes, the result is a seat allocation letter issued across up to three rounds — your written exam score is the only factor, and there is no interview. For research programmes (M.S. and Ph.D.), the result is a group-wise shortlist: candidates who score above the cutoff for their subject group are invited for an on-campus interview, and final admission depends on both the written score and interview performance.

IIITH PGEE Result Previous Year Statistics
IIIT Hyderabad conducts PGEE every year for its monsoon semester intake. The result follows a consistent two-phase pattern: M.Tech seat allocation comes within a week of the exam, followed by research admissions shortlists announced group-by-group over the next two weeks. Here is a year-by-year view of the result timeline.
| Year | PGEE Exam Date | M.Tech Round 1 Result | Research Shortlist | Interviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | May 2, 2026 | May 9, 2026 | May 11 (entrance); May 23 (CSE); non-CSE expected | June 10–13, 2026 |
| 2025 | May 2025 | May 8, 2025 | May 2025 | June 2025 |
| 2024 | May 2024 | May 2024 | May 2024 | June 2024 |
| 2023 | May 2023 | May 2023 | May 2023 | June 2023 |
| 2022 | May 2022 | May 2022 | May 2022 | June 2022 |
IIIT Hyderabad does not publish data on total candidates appeared or the number of students shortlisted each year. The pattern above shows that M.Tech results consistently arrive within 7–10 days of the exam, and research shortlists follow in the two weeks after that, with the CSE group announced first every cycle.
M.Tech Cutoff Score Trend
IIIT-H does not publish a formal cutoff list annually. The effective cutoff is the score of the last admitted candidate after all allocation rounds close. Based on available data from the 2024 cycle, here are the known cutoffs for the two most competitive M.Tech programmes.
| Year | M.Tech CSE Cutoff | M.Tech CSIS Cutoff | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | To be announced | To be announced | All 3 allocation rounds complete |
| 2025 | Not officially published | Not officially published | — |
| 2024 | 47 | 45.7 | CSE most competitive programme |
| 2023 | Not officially published | Not officially published | — |
| 2022 | Not officially published | Not officially published | — |
The 2024 data confirms that a score around 47 out of 90 cleared the M.Tech CSE cutoff. CSIS followed closely at 45.7. IIIT-H’s growing research profile has kept competition for the CSE programme consistent, and the 2026 cutoff is likely to fall in a similar range based on that benchmark.
Ques. How many rounds of M.Tech seat allocation does IIITH PGEE have?
Ans. IIIT Hyderabad held three rounds of M.Tech seat allocation for PGEE 2026 — Round 1 on May 9, Round 2 on May 15, and Round 3 on May 20, 2026. Each round reallocates seats freed by candidates who declined or missed their acceptance deadline. All three rounds for 2026 are now complete.
How to Check IIITH PGEE Result 2026
All PGEE 2026 results are available exclusively through the official admissions portal — there is no SMS notification or public roll-number lookup. You must log in to see your result. The process differs slightly for M.Tech and research admissions.

If you forgot your portal password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login page to reset it. For technical issues, reach out at pgadmissions@iiit.ac.in or call +91 (40) 6653 1250 (Monday to Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM IST).
Ques. Can I check my PGEE 2026 result without logging in?
Ans. No. The PGEE result is available only through the login-based admissions portal at pgadmissions.iiit.ac.in. You need the email ID and password you registered with to see your result, seat allocation status, or research shortlist.
Ques. How will I know when the non-CSE research group shortlist is out?
Ans. IIIT-H posts all shortlist announcements on the official PGEE page at pgadmissions.iiit.ac.in/pgee/. The CSE group shortlist appeared there on May 23, 2026. Non-CSE groups — ECE, Civil, BioInformatics, Computational Linguistics, and others — are expected to follow shortly. Check the announcements section regularly.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Scorecard Details
Your PGEE result document varies by programme. Here is what each document contains and what you should do once it is available.
| Programme | Result Document | Key Information Included |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech | Seat Allocation Letter | Programme name, round number, seat confirmation fee deadline, reporting instructions |
| M.S. by Research | Shortlist Notification | Candidate name, application number, subject-wise PGEE marks, interview date (June 10–11, 2026), campus reporting details |
| Ph.D. | Shortlist Notification | Candidate name, application number, area of research, interview date (June 12–13, 2026), campus reporting details |
For M.Tech, download your allocation letter and pay the seat confirmation fee before the deadline stated in it — missing the deadline means your seat moves to the next available candidate. For M.S. and Ph.D. applicants, your dashboard also shows your General Aptitude score and Subject Test score separately, giving you a clear breakdown of your total PGEE performance.
Download your scorecard as soon as results are out and keep a digital and printed copy. You will need it for document verification at the time of joining, and the portal may not keep download links active indefinitely.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Qualifying Marks and Shortlisting Criteria
There is no single published qualifying score for PGEE — the criteria work differently for M.Tech and research programmes. Here is how each pathway decides who gets in.
Academic Eligibility — All Programmes
You need a minimum of 60% aggregate (or an equivalent CGPA) in your qualifying degree (B.Tech / B.E. or equivalent). This applies to M.Tech, M.S., and Ph.D. — without meeting this, your PGEE score is not considered for admission.
M.Tech — Score-Based Direct Admission
For M.Tech, your PGEE score is the only selection criterion. IIIT-H builds a single open merit list — no category reservation, no interview, no undergraduate marks weighting. Seats are filled across three allocation rounds, and the effective cutoff moves upward as higher-ranked candidates confirm their seats.
- Single merit list for all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST.
- Admission based entirely on PGEE written exam score.
- Three allocation rounds ensure seats are filled from the ranked waitlist.
M.S. by Research and Ph.D. — Shortlist Plus Interview
For research programmes, IIIT-H shortlists candidates group-wise on PGEE score. Your subject group determines which shortlist you are considered for — CSE group first, then ECE, Civil, and other non-CSE groups. Making the shortlist means your score cleared the threshold; the interview decides final admission.
| Programme | Shortlisting Basis | Final Selection Basis |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech | PGEE score (single merit list) | Score-based seat allocation across 3 rounds |
| M.S. by Research | PGEE score (group-wise shortlist) | PGEE score + on-campus interview |
| Ph.D. | PGEE score or GA score (group-wise shortlist) | PGEE/GA score + on-campus interview |
For some Ph.D. programmes — Computational Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Human Sciences, Computational Natural Sciences, and Spatial Informatics — only the General Aptitude (GA) section is used for shortlisting, since these programmes do not have a dedicated subject test. If you applied to one of these, watch for your group’s shortlist announcement on the portal.
Ques. Is there any category reservation in IIITH PGEE M.Tech admissions?
Ans. No. IIIT Hyderabad uses a single open merit list for M.Tech admissions through PGEE. All candidates — General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD — compete under the same cutoff. There is no category-based reservation or relaxation in shortlisting criteria.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Cutoff by Programme
IIIT Hyderabad does not publish a formal cutoff document — the effective cutoff is the PGEE score of the last admitted candidate after all allocation rounds are complete. The 2026 final cutoff will be known once the seat allocation cycle ends. Based on 2024 data, here is what to expect.
M.Tech Cutoff — PGEE Score Out of 90
| Programme | 2026 Cutoff (Expected) | 2024 Cutoff (Actual) |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech CSE | ~45–50 | 47 |
| M.Tech CSIS | ~43–48 | 45.7 |
| M.Tech VLSI | To be confirmed | Not published |
| M.Tech CASE | To be confirmed | Not published |
| M.Tech PDM | To be confirmed | Not published |
CSE is consistently the most competitive programme at IIIT-H. A score around 47 out of 90 secured a seat in 2024 — aim for 50+ to be comfortably inside Round 1. CSIS follows closely at around 45–46. VLSI, CASE, and PDM have historically had lower cutoffs, reflecting smaller and more specialised applicant pools.
Research Admissions (M.S./Ph.D.) Cutoff
No cutoff scores are officially published for research admissions. If you receive a shortlist notification on the portal, you have cleared the threshold for your group. The CSE group shortlist for 2026 was announced May 23; non-CSE groups are expected shortly. Clearing the written cutoff is only the first step — the on-campus interview carries significant weight in final selection.
Ques. What is a good score in IIITH PGEE to get an M.Tech CSE seat?
Ans. Based on 2024 data, a score of 47 out of 90 was the cutoff for M.Tech CSE at IIIT Hyderabad. Scoring 50 or above puts you safely inside Round 1. For CSIS, the 2024 threshold was 45.7. For VLSI, CASE, and PDM, cutoffs are not officially published but have historically been lower than CSE.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Programmes and Seat Intake
IIIT Hyderabad offers a small, selective PG intake each year — total admissions across all programmes are typically well under 200 students. The institute does not publish a fixed seat matrix in the format used by centralised counselling bodies. Research programme seats (M.S. and Ph.D.) depend on faculty capacity and funded research projects, so availability varies by year and specialisation.
| Track | Programme | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech | Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 2 years |
| Computer Science and Information Security (CSIS) | 2 years | |
| VLSI and Semiconductor Technologies | 2 years | |
| Product Design and Management (PDM) | 2 years | |
| Computer Aided Structural Engineering (CASE) | 2 years | |
| M.S. by Research | Computer Science and Engineering | 2 years |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | 2 years | |
| Civil Engineering | 2 years | |
| BioInformatics | 2 years | |
| Ph.D. | CSE, ECE, Civil, BioInformatics | 5 years (minimum) |
| Computational Linguistics | 5 years (minimum) | |
| Computational Natural Sciences | 5 years (minimum) | |
| Spatial Informatics | 5 years (minimum) | |
| Cognitive Science / Human Sciences | 5 years (minimum) |
The M.Tech annual tuition fee is ₹5,00,000 per year. Seat acceptance requires payment of the seat confirmation fee by the deadline in your allocation letter — miss it and your seat goes to the next candidate in the merit list. For Ph.D. programmes, IIIT-H typically provides a monthly stipend through research grants; amounts vary by project and faculty.
After IIITH PGEE 2026 Result: Interviews and Admission
What you do next depends on which programme you applied for. M.Tech candidates are done with the written process and move to fee confirmation. Research candidates still have an interview ahead before the final offer comes.
For M.Tech Candidates
- All three M.Tech allocation rounds are complete for 2026. If you accepted a seat and paid the confirmation fee in any round, your admission is secure.
- If you did not receive a seat in any round, PGEE 2026 M.Tech admission is closed for this cycle.
- Seat confirmation fees are subject to a refund policy — the amount refunded decreases if you withdraw closer to the joining date. Review the terms in your allocation letter before deciding.
For M.S. by Research Candidates
- CSE group shortlist was announced on May 23, 2026. Non-CSE group shortlists (ECE, Civil, BioInformatics, etc.) are expected shortly — check pgadmissions.iiit.ac.in/pgee/ for your group’s announcement.
- Shortlisted candidates must appear for on-campus interviews at IIIT Hyderabad on June 10–11, 2026.
- Final admission is based on PGEE score combined with interview performance — shortlisting alone does not guarantee a seat.
- Prepare to discuss your academic background, research interests, and any prior project or research work. IIIT-H is a research institute and the interview tests both technical depth and research motivation.
For Ph.D. Candidates
- Shortlisted Ph.D. candidates attend on-campus interviews on June 12–13, 2026.
- The interview evaluates research aptitude, domain knowledge, and alignment with the faculty’s active research areas.
- For interdisciplinary Ph.D. programmes (Computational Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Human Sciences), the panel assesses GA-based aptitude and domain-specific discussion.
- Identify potential faculty supervisors and read their recent publications before the interview — faculty fit matters significantly at IIIT-H.
For both M.S. and Ph.D. interviews, carry your PGEE admit card, a valid government-issued photo ID, qualifying degree marksheets (originals and copies), category certificate if applicable, and any research or project work you want to present. Review the document checklist in your portal dashboard once you are shortlisted — the institute may specify additional requirements in the interview call.
Ques. What documents should I carry for the IIITH PGEE 2026 interview?
Ans. Carry your PGEE 2026 admit card, a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence), qualifying degree marksheets (originals and copies), category certificate if applicable, and any research papers or project work you want to highlight. Check your portal dashboard once you receive the shortlist notification — IIIT-H may list additional documents in the interview call letter.
Ques. Are the IIITH PGEE 2026 interviews held online or in-person?
Ans. The PGEE 2026 interviews are scheduled as on-campus, in-person interviews at the IIIT Hyderabad campus. M.S. interviews are on June 10–11 and Ph.D. interviews on June 12–13, 2026. Always recheck the official admissions portal for any last-minute changes to the mode or schedule before you travel.
