The table below lists the entrance exam accepted for each programme family at SNIST.

SNIST Courses and Fees

Among B.Tech specialisations, CSE, AI and Machine Learning, and Data Science record the highest demand in TS EAMCET counselling. All 11 specialisations carry identical fee structures as per JNTU and AICTE fee norms for Telangana private colleges.

SNIST Admission Process

SNIST follows the centralised counselling model administered by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE). Each programme family has its own entrance exam and counselling route. All admission processes are merit-based and managed online through the official TSCHE portals.

B.Tech Admission

B.Tech admission is based on TS EAMCET scores. The merit formula assigns 75% weightage to the TS EAMCET rank and 25% weightage to Class XII marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

• Eligibility: 10+2 with at least 45% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
• Reservation: Seats are distributed as per Telangana state reservation norms across OC, BC-A/B/C/D/E, SC, ST, and EWS categories
• Stages: TS EAMCET registration and exam, certificate verification, web counselling (choice filling and allotment), reporting to college

TS EAMCET closing ranks for SNIST CSE and AI/ML branches in the OC category have typically fallen in the 5,000 to 15,000 range across recent counselling rounds. Civil and Mechanical branches have relatively higher (less competitive) closing ranks.

B.Tech Lateral Entry

Diploma holders from AICTE-approved polytechnic colleges apply through TS ECET. Admission is directly to the second year of the B.Tech programme. A minimum of 45% marks in a relevant Diploma in Engineering is required.

M.Tech Admission

M.Tech admissions are based on PGECET or GATE scores. Candidates admitted through a valid GATE score are eligible for the AICTE GATE Scholarship of INR 12,400 per month. Eligibility requires a B.Tech or B.E. in a relevant branch with at least 50% aggregate.

MBA Admission

MBA admission is through TS ICET counselling conducted by JNTU Hyderabad. Any graduate with a minimum of 50% aggregate from a recognised university is eligible. Seats are allotted through the centralised Telangana MBA/MCA Common Admission Process.

SNIST Rankings

SNIST participates in the NIRF Engineering ranking and is placed in the 201-300 band as per NIRF Engineering 2024. SNIST submitted data for NIRF 2025 and results are awaited from the Ministry of Education.

SNIST Scholarships

SNIST students can access scholarships through Telangana state government schemes and central government channels. The Telangana Government Fee Reimbursement Scheme is the primary support mechanism for eligible students.

SNIST Campus and Infrastructure

SNIST occupies a 33-acre campus at Yamnampet, Ghatkesar, approximately 25 km from Hyderabad city centre. The campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled and houses departmental engineering laboratories, a central library, ICT-enabled smart classrooms, and a dedicated computing infrastructure for research and academics.

Separate hostel facilities are available for male and female students. Hostel amenities include furnished rooms, a common mess, internet access, laundry, indoor games, and medical emergency support. Hostel accommodation is optional and not a condition of admission. College-run transportation services connect the Ghatkesar campus to key points in Hyderabad.

Sports infrastructure on campus includes an outdoor ground and indoor sports facilities. Student activity is supported through technical clubs, cultural committees, and a range of co-curricular programmes.

SNIST vs CBIT vs Vardhaman College of Engineering

Aspirants qualifying TS EAMCET in Telangana often compare SNIST with other established private engineering colleges in Hyderabad. The table below covers Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT) and Vardhaman College of Engineering, both JNTU Hyderabad-affiliated institutions in the same city serving a similar aspirant pool.

CBIT leads on NAAC grade (A+) and is the oldest of the three, giving it a longer placement track record. SNIST and Vardhaman hold comparable NAAC A grades. SNIST’s CDC reports an average CTC of INR 6.8 LPA and a highest package of INR 36 LPA. All three colleges admit through TS EAMCET, so the applicable closing rank on the official TS EAMCET portal is the most reliable guide for aspirants making a final choice.
