The table below lists the entrance exam requirement for each programme at GCET Keesara. Diploma holders can seek lateral entry to B.Tech second year without appearing for TGEAPCET.

GCET Courses and Fees

GCET offers programmes across engineering, technology, and management. All 8 B.Tech branches carry a uniform fee with no branch-specific premium. The total B.Tech fee of INR 4,89,500 over four years is affordable relative to the Hyderabad private engineering college market, while the hostel fee (INR 1,25,000 to INR 1,35,000 per year) exceeds the annual tuition in every year of the programme.

Hostel accommodation costs INR 1,25,000 to INR 1,35,000 per year, covering both boys and girls hostels. A B.Tech student in hostel pays approximately INR 9,89,500 to INR 10,29,500 over four years inclusive of accommodation.

GCET Admission Process

GCET follows the Telangana state centralised TGEAPCET counselling for 70% of B.Tech merit seats. Telangana state reservation norms apply for TGEAPCET-based seats (OC, BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E, SC, ST categories).

B.Tech Admission

Merit quota (70% of seats) is filled through TGEAPCET rank-based counselling by TSCHE. Management and NRI quota (30% of seats) is filled directly by the college with a minimum eligibility of 50% in PCM at 10+2 level.

• Eligibility: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, minimum 50% aggregate
• Exam: TGEAPCET for merit quota (70%)
• Direct admission for management quota (30%) without TGEAPCET rank requirement
• Counselling stages: TGEAPCET rank verification, certificate verification, choice filling, seat allotment, reporting to college
• Telangana domicile-based reservations apply for TGEAPCET seats

Based on historical TGEAPCET counselling data, CSE and AI-related branches at GCET fill in earlier phases with higher relative demand. Mechanical and Civil Engineering branches have accessible closing ranks for candidates with mid-range TGEAPCET scores.

M.Tech and MBA Admission

M.Tech admission requires a relevant B.E./B.Tech with minimum 50% and a valid GATE or TS PGECET score. MBA requires graduation with 50% marks and a valid TS ICET, CAT, CMAT, or MAT score. Both are processed through TSCHE counselling.

GCET Placements

GCET maintains an active Training and Placement Cell that coordinates on-campus and pool campus drives for B.Tech graduates. In the 2024 placement season, the highest offer was INR 44 LPA and the average package was approximately INR 6 LPA. Over 100 companies participate in GCET campus drives annually.

Key recruiters include TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Amazon. CSE, AI and ML, and Data Sciences branches attract the highest number of technology recruiters. The placement rate across the graduating batch has ranged between 70% and 95% in recent cycles.

The proximity of GCET to Hyderabad’s IT corridor in Medchal-Malkajgiri makes it accessible to technology recruiters who conduct pool drives across multiple Hyderabad-area engineering colleges. Students from CSE and ECE branches account for the majority of IT sector placements.

GCET Scholarships

Students admitted to GCET can access Telangana state government and central government scholarships. Category-based fee concessions are processed through government portals after admission.

GCET Campus and Infrastructure

Geethanjali College of Engineering and Technology is located at Keesara, Medchal-Malkajgiri, on the Hyderabad outskirts.

GCET vs CMR College of Engineering and Technology vs Anurag University

The table below compares GCET with two other comparable private engineering institutions in the Hyderabad-Secunderabad region that serve a similar applicant pool and fee range.

GCET leads on NAAC grade and reported highest placement package among the three. Anurag University’s deemed status allows it to set its own curriculum and conduct internal exams independently. All three draw from the same TGEAPCET applicant pool in the Hyderabad region.
