IIT Hyderabad Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

The admissions process for IIT Hyderabad's B.Tech Chemical Engineering is primarily conducted via JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains and JEE Advanced. Students must first achieve the qualifying cutoff percentile in JEE Mains to proceed to the JEE Advanced. For general category candidates, the JEE Advanced cutoff rank ranged between 1960 and 4200, with specific ranks applicable based on seat allotment in the JoSAA counseling process. The JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) manages seat allocation, requiring candidates to register and fill their preferences online.

The cutoff mark for general candidates in JEE Advanced was around 82-90 marks. For candidates in reserved categories such as OBC, SC, and ST, lowered cutoffs apply as per reservation policies, and benefits include reduced fee structures. Reservations are available for EWS, OBC, SC, ST, and PWD categories. The application process, including the payment of counseling fees (around INR 40,000), is facilitated through the official JoSAA portal. The JEE Mains examinations are managed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), typically held at the start and mid-year, while JEE Advanced is conducted by one of the IITs annually, usually in May or June.

Eligibility criteria mandate clearing both exams and securing a sufficient rank in JEE Advanced for seat allocation at IIT Hyderabad. Students are encouraged to monitor the respective official websites for precise timelines, application details, and further instructions on document verification and fee payment.
