What is IIITH PGEE Result 2026?
The IIITH PGEE Result 2026 is the official outcome of the Post Graduate Entrance Examination conducted by the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH) for admission to M.Tech, MS by Research, and PhD programmes for the Monsoon 2026 semester. The written exam was held as a 3-hour Computer-Based Test on May 2, 2026.
For M.Tech candidates, the written test score alone decides admission — no interview is required, and seats are allocated in merit order across rounds. For MS by Research and PhD candidates, the PGEE result is a two-stage outcome: first, a shortlist based on your written score tells you if you are called for an on-campus interview; second, the post-interview final admission list (expected late June 2026) tells you whether you have been selected. IIIT-H does not prepare a ranked research merit list from the written test alone — the interview committee’s decision is final.

IIITH PGEE Result Previous Year Statistics
IIITH PGEE runs every year for the Monsoon semester intake, which starts in late July or early August. The written test has consistently been held in April or early May, with results following within one to three weeks. The table below shows the exam-and-result timeline across the last five cycles to help you understand how the current schedule compares historically.
| Year | Exam Date | Research Result Released | MS Interviews | PhD Interviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | May 2, 2026 | May 11, 2026 | June 10–11, 2026 | June 12–13, 2026 |
| 2025 | April 19, 2025 | May 11, 2025 | June 10–11, 2025 | June 12–13, 2025 |
| 2024 | ~April 2024 | ~May 2024 | ~June 2024 | ~June 2024 |
| 2023 | April 16, 2023 | April 27, 2023 | May 18–19, 2023 | May 19–20, 2023 |
| 2022 | ~April 2022 | ~May 2022 | ~May–June 2022 | ~June 2022 |
A visible shift across recent cycles: in 2023 the exam was in mid-April and interviews took place in May. From 2025 onward, the exam moved to late April or early May, pushing interviews to June. The exam-to-final-result window has remained fairly steady at 6–8 weeks. For anyone planning a future PGEE attempt, this pattern means you can expect results by mid-May and a final admission outcome by late June.
M.Tech seat intake at IIIT Hyderabad has been broadly stable across recent years at around 180 seats across four specialisations:
| M.Tech Specialisation | Approximate Intake |
|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | ~90 seats |
| Computer Science and Information Security (CSIS) | ~30 seats |
| Computer Aided Structural Engineering (CASE) | ~30 seats |
| Product Design and Management (PDM) | ~30 seats |
| Total M.Tech Seats | ~180 seats |
MS by Research and PhD seats are not publicly fixed. They vary year to year based on faculty research capacity and available funding. CSE typically has the highest research intake at IIITH, followed by ECE. BioInformatics and Civil Engineering research programmes have smaller annual cohorts.
How to Check IIITH PGEE Result 2026
Your IIITH PGEE 2026 result is only accessible through your login on the official admissions portal — there is no public scorecard link or open rank list. Follow these steps:
- Go to pgadmissions.iiit.ac.in.
- Click on the candidate login button and enter your Application ID and Password (the credentials you created during registration).
- Navigate to the result or admissions status section of your dashboard.
- Your scorecard — showing Paper I score, Paper II score, total score, and shortlisting/seat-allocation status — will appear on screen.
- Download and save the scorecard as a PDF. You will need it for any admission formalities, including document verification when you report to campus.
If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login page. A reset link goes to your registered email address — check spam or junk mail if it does not arrive within a few minutes.
There is no SMS, phone, or IVR method to check results. The portal login is the only channel. Once the final post-interview admission list is published (expected late June 2026), log in again to see your final status.
Ques. What should I do if the IIITH PGEE 2026 portal is slow or not loading?
Ans. The portal tends to slow down immediately after any new result or shortlist goes live due to high traffic. Try again after a few hours, or access it early morning or late at night. Clearing your browser cache and trying a different browser or incognito mode helps in most cases.
Ques. I applied for multiple IIITH programmes. Do I get a separate result for each?
Ans. Yes. IIIT Hyderabad allows you to apply for multiple programmes (for example, M.Tech CSE and MS by Research CSE). Your portal dashboard shows the status for each programme separately. Check each programme’s tab or section after logging in.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Scorecard — What It Contains
The IIITH PGEE scorecard is the official document confirming your written CBT performance. For M.Tech candidates, it is effectively the final result — your score determines your merit rank and seat allocation. For MS by Research and PhD candidates, it tells you whether you have been shortlisted for the on-campus interview; it does not confirm admission by itself. The final admission outcome is published separately after interviews conclude.
Your IIITH PGEE 2026 scorecard typically includes:
- Candidate name and application number
- Programme applied for (M.Tech / MS by Research / PhD) and discipline (CSE / ECE / Civil Engineering / BioInformatics)
- Paper I score — Basic Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics
- Paper II score — Subject-specific paper for your chosen discipline
- Total score out of the exam’s maximum marks
- Admission or shortlisting status: seat allocated (M.Tech) or shortlisted/not shortlisted for interview (Research)
Download both a digital copy and a printout as soon as the scorecard is available. Portal download links may not remain active indefinitely. If you spot any error in your name, score, or other details, report it immediately to the IIITH admissions office at pgadmissions@iiit.ac.in.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Qualifying Marks and Cutoff
IIIT Hyderabad does not publish official PGEE qualifying marks or cutoff scores for any programme. The effective threshold shifts every year depending on the applicant pool and available seats — there is no announced minimum score that guarantees a seat or an interview call.
M.Tech programmes — Admission is based entirely on your written PGEE score. There is a single open merit list; seat allocation happens across rounds in order of score. The effective cutoff is the score of the last candidate admitted after all rounds close, a figure IIIT-H does not publish. Based on unofficial candidate-reported data from the 2024 cycle, a score around 47 out of 90 was sufficient for M.Tech CSE; CSIS was close behind, while PDM and CASE had lower thresholds reflecting smaller applicant pools.
MS by Research and PhD programmes — Your written score is used only to shortlist you for the interview; no published cutoff exists. The shortlisting threshold is set internally by each research group and changes each year. After the interview, the committee’s decision is final — your PGEE score plays no further role. PhD candidates can also qualify for the shortlist through a GATE score (direct route) or a valid NET score, without sitting the PGEE.
Key details of the exam’s scoring structure:
- Two papers of 90 minutes each — Paper I (Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Mathematics) and Paper II (Subject-specific).
- Total marks: approximately 90 across both papers (exact split varies by year).
- Negative marking: 0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer. Unattempted questions carry no penalty.
Ques. Does IIITH PGEE have category-based reservation (SC/ST/OBC)?
Ans. For M.Tech, IIIT Hyderabad uses a single open merit list — General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS candidates compete under the same threshold. IIITH is an autonomous institution and its reservation policy differs from central universities. For research programmes, shortlisting is determined by internal group-level criteria without published category-specific thresholds. For the current year’s policy, check the official admissions brochure or write to pgadmissions@iiit.ac.in.
IIITH PGEE 2026 Interview — Shortlisting and Final Selection
The on-campus interview is the decisive final step for MS by Research and PhD admission. Your written PGEE score determines only whether you receive an interview call — the interview committee alone decides who gets admitted, based entirely on your performance during the campus visit.
For 2026, both interview rounds have concluded at the IIIT Hyderabad campus in Gachibowli, Hyderabad:
- MS by Research interviews: June 10–11, 2026 (completed)
- PhD interviews: June 12–13, 2026 (completed)
The interview assesses several dimensions:
- Core subject knowledge in your chosen discipline (CSE, ECE, Civil Engineering, or BioInformatics)
- Research aptitude — your ability to identify an interesting problem and articulate an approach to it
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving under discussion with the faculty panel
- Prior research exposure: publications, relevant projects, or internships in a research lab — helpful, but not mandatory
There is no fixed interview score or published passing threshold. The committee makes a holistic judgement. Some MS by Research and PhD seats are accessible to GATE-qualified candidates who clear the same interview — so the interview room includes both PGEE shortlistees and GATE-route candidates competing for the same seats.
With the June 10–13 interviews now done, IIIT Hyderabad is preparing the post-interview final admission list. Once it is published on the official portal (expected late June 2026), it will confirm who has been offered admission for the Monsoon 2026 semester.
Ques. Are IIITH PGEE 2026 research programme interviews online or in-person?
Ans. The PGEE 2026 interviews were held in-person on-campus at IIIT Hyderabad, Gachibowli. MS by Research interviews ran on June 10–11 and PhD interviews on June 12–13, 2026. Both rounds have now concluded.
Ques. Can a candidate appeal if not offered admission after the PGEE interview?
Ans. No. IIIT Hyderabad’s policy states that the interview committee’s decision is final. There is no appeal or reconsideration process for research programme admissions. If you were not offered a seat in this cycle, you can re-apply when PGEE 2027 applications open — typically around February.
What After IIITH PGEE Result 2026?
Next steps depend on which programme you applied for and what your portal shows after the final admission list is published.
If you received an M.Tech seat:
- An admission offer will appear in your portal dashboard.
- Accept the offer and pay the admission fee within the deadline in the offer letter.
- Upload the required documents — degree certificate, all semester mark sheets, valid photo ID, and category certificate if applicable.
- Attend in-person document verification and registration at IIIT Hyderabad before the Monsoon 2026 semester begins (expected late July or early August 2026).
If you are selected for MS by Research:
- After the post-interview final list is published, an offer letter will appear on your portal dashboard.
- Accept the offer and pay the semester fee within the specified deadline.
- Bring originals and photocopies of all documents for verification on the campus reporting date.
If you are selected for PhD:
- Follow the same offer-acceptance and fee-payment process as MS by Research.
- PhD students offered a Teaching Assistantship (TA) or Research Assistantship (RA) will receive additional information about their stipend and research group assignment during this phase.
- Full-time PhD students with a valid NET or GATE score are eligible for the AICTE Doctoral Fellowship — stipend details will be confirmed in the offer letter.
If you were not selected:
- IIITH does not publish a public waitlist for MS by Research or PhD. If seats remain unfilled, IIIT-H may announce further rounds — keep monitoring the official portal for any new notifications.
- You can re-appear for PGEE in the next cycle. Applications typically open in February, with the exam in April–May. Many students secure admission after a second or third PGEE attempt.
- Consider parallel options: GATE score-based M.Tech at IITs and NITs, direct PhD programmes at other IIITs, or industry research roles as interim experience that strengthens future applications.
The Monsoon 2026 semester at IIIT Hyderabad is expected to begin in late July or early August. Selected students should closely monitor their registered email and the portal dashboard for reporting dates, fee payment deadlines, and any further instructions from the admissions office.
