IIIT Hyderabad All Questions

if we talk about DTU (Delhi Technological University) — you must have at least 60% in PCM and pass all subjects. The 75% rule is not strictly applicable here, so you can get admission based on your JEE Main rank and Delhi quota, if applicable.

For IIIT Hyderabad, admission is based on JEE Main percentile/rank, but the institute also requires a minimum of 60% in Class 12 (PCM). So, even with less than 75%, you are eligible if you meet this 60% requirement.

Hope you understand. ALL THE BEST.

Hello,

Yes, you may be eligible for an IIT PhD after completing your online M.Tech from IIT Hyderabad. But still, your eligibility depends on factors like academic criteria and potentially a valid GATE/UGC/CSIR score. If you meet all of these criteria, you can surely get admission to IIT for a PhD degree.

I hope it will clear your query!!

The IIIT Hyderabad PDM (Postgraduate Diploma in Machine Learning/AI/Data Science) interview is meant to check your understanding of basics, problem-solving ability, and clarity of thought. To prepare, you should focus on three main areas.

First, revise the important subjects. You need to be clear about programming basics, especially in Python. Revise data structures like arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and trees. Brush up on algorithms like searching, sorting, and recursion. Go through core mathematics that supports machine learning, such as linear algebra, probability, and calculus. Review statistics topics like mean, variance, distributions, and hypothesis testing.

Second, practice problem-solving. Go to coding platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codeforces and try solving medium-level problems. You do not need to solve very hard ones, but be comfortable with writing clean and logical code. For mathematics, practice solving small problems that involve probability, matrices, and statistics.

Third, prepare for machine learning basics. You should know what supervised and unsupervised learning are, what regression and classification mean, and how common algorithms like decision trees, k-means, and linear regression work at a basic level. They usually test whether you understand the concepts, not whether you have done big projects.

In the interview, they may also ask you to solve small logical puzzles or math questions to see how you think. Be clear in explaining your thought process step by step, even if you are not fully sure of the answer.

Also, prepare to talk about your motivation. They may ask why you want to join IIIT Hyderabad’s PDM program, what your career goals are, and if you have done any projects, internships, or coursework related to coding or data science.

Hello

Hello Ruchita,

Yes, with a JEE Main rank of 11,200, you are eligible to participate in the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) 2025 counseling process. However, securing admission to IIIT Hyderabad through JoSAA may be challenging due to the institute's high cutoff ranks.

IIIT Hyderabad Admission through JoSAA:

• Non-Participation in JoSAA: IIIT Hyderabad does not participate in the JoSAA counseling process. Instead, it conducts its own separate admissions process for B.Tech programs. Therefore, you cannot secure admission to IIIT Hyderabad through JoSAA, regardless of your JEE Main rank.

Alternative Admission Route to IIIT Hyderabad:

• Direct Admission: IIIT Hyderabad offers direct admission to B.Tech programs based on JEE Main scores. You can apply through their official admissions portal, provided you meet their eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria for Direct Admission:

• JEE Main Score: You must have a valid JEE Main score.

• Class 12 Marks: You should have obtained at least 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in your Class 12 examination.

Application Process:

• Visit the Official Portal: Go to the IIIT Hyderabad admissions portal.

• Register: Create an account and fill in the required details.

• Submit Documents: Upload necessary documents, including your JEE Main scorecard and Class 12 marksheet.

• Application Fee: Pay the non-refundable application fee of Rs. 2,500.

Important Notes:

• No Category-wise Reservation: IIIT Hyderabad does not have category-wise reservation; admissions are purely based on merit.

• Separate Admission Process: Ensure you follow the specific admission process outlined by IIIT Hyderabad, as it differs from JoSAA counseling.

For detailed information and updates, regularly check the IIIT Hyderabad official admissions portal.

Hello Mr. Bini,

Considering your son's rank in JEE Main (3715 in General category, Maharashtra), here below is the categorization that might help you narrow down the options:

CSE in NIT Calicut (or Other NITs):

• CSE is a very popular branch with lots of placement opportunities if your son is looking at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and Calicut he won't go wrong with CSE.
• If your son likes coding, software and tech then CSE in NIT is a great option.
• The NITs that maintain a good CSE department and good placement are: Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal.

ECE in IIIT Hyderabad:

• IIIT-Hyderabad is a good institute with excellent academic and research environment particularly for ECE and other related interdisciplinary streams, particularly in the area of AI/ML, VLSI.
• The placement of IIIT-Hyderabad is excellent because other than IITs, IIIT-H students have the best placement options, particularly for research oriented/product based roles.
• If your son likes a research driven curriculum and he may think of higher studies or work in tech heavy roles, IIIT-H ECE is arguably the best choice of all options.

ECE in NIT Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Rourkela:

• These are very good NITs with good ECE department and strong industry partnerships.
• The placement is good, but is not as strong compared to CSE branches or IIIT-Hyderabad ECE.

If the emphasis is on core tech roles and software engineering, get him a place in CSE at a top NIT (ideally Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal). If there is a willingness to accept a comprehensive, research-based academic program, with future scope in core tech, AI or higher studies, then ECE at IIIT Hyderabad could be the best long term option. Do not opt for lower-tier NITs if you can get him into one of these higher tier institutes.

Yes, you can potentially leave IIIT Hyderabad after completing the BTech portion of the integrated program, but you may not receive a BTech degree. The specific details depend on the admission route (LEEE or UGEE) and the IIIT Hyderabad regulations.

LEEE Admission:

If you were admitted through LEEE (Lateral Entry Entrance Examination), which allows direct entry into the second year of the BTech program, you are eligible to leave after completing the BTech requirements without pursuing the MS program.

UGEE Admission:

If you were admitted through UGEE (Undergraduate Entrance Examination) and choose to leave after completing the BTech, you may still be awarded a BTech degree, but you would not be able to pursue the MS portion of the dual degree.

IIIT Hyderabad Regulations:

It's crucial to check the specific regulations of IIIT Hyderabad regarding the dual-degree program, as they may have specific rules about exiting after completing the BTech, as noted in the dual-degree program information from the IIIT Hyderabad website.

Dual Degree Benefits:

A dual degree (BTech + MS) is generally considered to have better career prospects than a standalone BTech degree from IIIT Hyderabad.

With an 88 percentile in the EWS category, it's highly unlikely you'll secure admission to IIIT Hyderabad through the JEE Main channel. IIIT Hyderabad typically accepts candidates with ranks far higher than what an 88 percentile would correspond to (often in the top few thousand, whereas 88 percentile might be around rank 1.2–1.5 lakh) .

Hello Komal,

With an 88 percentile in JEE Main under the EWS category, your estimated All India Rank (AIR) is approximately 12,000 . Admission to the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad is primarily based on JEE Main scores. In 2024, the closing ranks for various courses were:

• Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) : Ranks between 866 and 1687 .
  
  

• Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Ranks between 2136 and 4606 .

Given your estimated rank, it's unlikely to secure admission to CSE or ECE at IIIT Hyderabad. However, you might consider other IIITs where the closing ranks are higher. For instance, IIITM Gwalior had closing ranks of 935 for EWS candidates in 2022.

Additionally, explore other engineering colleges and consider alternative courses or specializations that align with your interests and rank.
