Top Colleges in Hyderabad 2026: Fees, Ranking, Admission, Cutoff, Placement

Ans. Hyderabad has an unusually deep band of PGDM institutes reporting cutoffs at or below 70 percentile, so a candidate in that range has real choices rather than a single fallback.

Candidates who did not sit CAT can also use TS ICET, the Telangana state entrance test, which admits to VVISM Hyderabad at a closing rank of 3161 and VCE Hyderabad at 3723.

Note: The cutoff is primarily for shortlisting candidates. Applicants can apply, but final admission depends on the overall score, including the entrance score, GDPI, and interview combined.

Ans. Hyderabad sits in Telangana, so MBA admission runs through two main routes plus a set of institute-level tests.

• CAT: the dominant national route, accepted by IBS Hyderabad, IMT Hyderabad, IPE Hyderabad, VJIM Hyderabad, ICBM-SBE Hyderabad and IIRM Hyderabad, each followed by a Written Ability Test and Personal Interview.
• TS ICET: the Telangana state entrance test, which is Collegedunia's default exam for VVISM Hyderabad and VCE Hyderabad and the route into most state-affiliated MBA programmes in the city.
• Institute-level tests: ISB Hyderabad admits on GMAT or GRE with work experience, NMIMS Hyderabad through NMAT at 206 marks, and IBS Hyderabad also runs its own IBSAT.
• Other accepted exams: CMAT, XAT, MAT and ATMA are accepted at ICBM-SBE, IPE, VJIM, IIRM, IMT and VVISM, which widens the options for candidates who did not sit CAT.

Ans. Unlike most Indian metros, Hyderabad's best MBA ROI does not sit with its best-known school. IIIT Hyderabad leads on a 4.12 Lakh fee against a 23.00 LPA median, and VCE Hyderabad on a 90 K fee.

ISB Hyderabad, the city's highest-ranked MBA college, cannot be ranked on ROI at all: its own placement report publishes class size, recruiter count and offer count but no salary figure of any kind. ICBM-SBE Hyderabad, IIRM Hyderabad, CMR Group Hyderabad and VVISM Hyderabad are likewise absent, because neither NIRF nor their own websites publish a package.

Ans. ISB Hyderabad records the highest package among MBA colleges in Hyderabad at 1.56 CPA, which is also the single largest offer anywhere in this article. IIIT Hyderabad follows at 1.28 CPA and CMR Group Hyderabad at 58.00 LPA. On median packages the order is different: IIIT Hyderabad leads at 23.00 LPA, MANAGE Hyderabad follows at 11.60 LPA, and IMT Hyderabad at 10.75 LPA. CMR Group Hyderabad is the outlier on this list, reporting a 58.00 LPA highest package with no published median at all.

Ans. TG EAPCET, formerly TS EAMCET, is the Telangana state entrance test and the single most important route for a Telangana-domicile candidate. Ten of the fifteen colleges in this article fill through it, including every state-affiliated government and private college.

GNITS Hyderabad and BVRITH Hyderabad are women's colleges and publish a female-pool closing rank only, so their figures are not directly comparable with the co-educational rows above.

Ans. Four colleges in Hyderabad fill through the national engineering counselling systems rather than TG EAPCET.

• IIT Hyderabad – JEE Advanced through JoSAA, closing at 680 for CSE and 9123 for Biotechnology and Bioinformatics in the final round. Fees 12.11 Lakh, median package 21.00 LPA.
• IIIT Hyderabad – JEE Main, closing at 1060 for CSE and 2150 for ECE. It also runs its own UGEE entrance. Fees 25.41 Lakh, median package 32.00 LPA, the highest of any engineering college in the city.
• UOH Hyderabad – JEE Main through CSAB special rounds, closing at 36354 for the integrated BTech and MTech CSE programme. Fees 3.41 Lakh, median package 15.00 LPA, the best engineering ROI in the city at 439.88%.
• BITS Hyderabad – BITSAT, where the scale is inverted: 308 for Computer Science is harder than 211 for Pharmaceutical Engineering. Fees 25.29 Lakh; its only NIRF filing is a Pilani-submitted all-campus report, so no Hyderabad-campus median is published.

Ans. This band covers most of Hyderabad's well-regarded private engineering colleges, and it is where the city's best ROI sits.

• GRIET Hyderabad – 5118 for CSE with AI and ML, fees 6.67 Lakh, median 6.00 LPA
• KMIT Hyderabad – 5837 for CSE, fees 4.37 Lakh, average 8.75 LPA, an ROI of 200.23%
• GNITS Hyderabad – 6201 for CSE, fees 4.00 Lakh, median 8.00 LPA, an ROI of 200.00%
• BVRITH Hyderabad – 9813 for CSE, fees 4.88 Lakh, median 4.46 LPA
• VCE Hyderabad – 10275 for AI and ML, fees 5.60 Lakh, median 3.83 LPA

Below 5,000 the stronger options open up: JNTUH Hyderabad closes at 1389 for CSE, VNR VJIET Hyderabad at 1736, OU Hyderabad at 2494, CBIT Hyderabad at 2642 and Vasavi College Hyderabad at 3068.

Ans. The average salary packages for BTech colleges in Hyderabad vary by college tier. The details are mentioned below.

• Top Tier Colleges: 15.00 LPA at UOH Hyderabad to 32.00 LPA at IIIT Hyderabad, with IIT Hyderabad at 21.00 LPA
• Tier-2 Colleges: 5.00 LPA at JNTUH Hyderabad to 8.75 LPA at KMIT Hyderabad, with GNITS Hyderabad at 8.00 LPA and Vasavi College Hyderabad at 7.00 LPA
• Tier-3 Colleges: 3.37 LPA at CBIT Hyderabad to 4.50 LPA at VNR VJIET Hyderabad, with VCE Hyderabad at 3.83 LPA and BVRITH Hyderabad at 4.46 LPA

Ans. Admission to law colleges in Hyderabad runs mainly through the Telangana state entrance test, with a small group of national and institute-level routes at the top of the market.

• State Entrance Exam: TS LAWCET is accepted by 9 law colleges in Hyderabad, including University College of Law OU, OU Hyderabad, MGLC Hyderabad, Pendekanti Law College, Padala Rami Reddy Law College, K.V. Ranga Reddy Law College, CLWNMS, Sultan-Ul-Uloom College of Law and Aurora's Legal Sciences Academy. TS PGLCET, its postgraduate counterpart, is accepted by the same 9.
• National Entrance Exams: Collegedunia lists CLAT as accepted by 4 Hyderabad law colleges, of which three appear in this article: NALSAR Hyderabad, Woxsen University Hyderabad and Mahindra University Hyderabad. LSAT is accepted by Woxsen University Hyderabad, Mahindra University Hyderabad and IFHE Hyderabad, CUET by MANUU Hyderabad, and CLAT PG and AILET by one college each.
• Institute-Level Tests: IFHE Hyderabad admits through ILSAT, NMIMS Hyderabad through the NMIMS LAT, SIUH Hyderabad through SLAT, and Woxsen University Hyderabad through its own WLAT alongside CLAT and LSAT.
• Collegedunia lists 12 of Hyderabad's 26 law colleges as BCI-approved.

Ans. Three colleges share the lowest fee in Hyderabad at 80 K for the 5-year BA + LLB: Pendekanti Law College, OU Hyderabad and University College of Law OU. Padala Rami Reddy Law College follows at 99.20 K and K.V. Ranga Reddy Law College at 1.00 Lakh.

Among the top-ranked colleges, OU Hyderabad and University College of Law OU are the most affordable at 80 K and MANUU Hyderabad follows at 1.13 Lakh, while NALSAR Hyderabad, the city's highest-ranked law school, charges 12.90 Lakh. At the other end, Woxsen University Hyderabad charges 33.27 Lakh and SIUH Hyderabad 23.30 Lakh.

Ans. NALSAR Hyderabad has the strongest ROI among Hyderabad law colleges at 135.66%, on a median package of 17.50 LPA against a fee of 12.90 Lakh. It also records the city's highest law median and its highest single offer at 65.00 LPA. IFHE Hyderabad follows at 45.31%, on a 6.48 LPA median against a 14.30 Lakh fee.

No other Hyderabad law college can be ranked on ROI. NALSAR Hyderabad and IFHE Hyderabad are the only two that NIRF publishes a law median for, and none of the remaining eight publishes a package on its own website either.

Ans. Three of the law colleges in this article accept CLAT, and they include the city's highest-ranked law school. Collegedunia lists 4 CLAT-accepting law colleges across Hyderabad.

IFHE Hyderabad, the city's second-ranked law college, does not accept CLAT and admits through its own ILSAT instead. A candidate without a CLAT score still has the widest set of options in the city through TS LAWCET, which 9 Hyderabad law colleges accept.

Ans. Candidates must have completed Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English in their 10+2 or its equivalent. 50% for the general category, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, and 45% for General-PwD in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology combined are the minimum scores needed. There is no upper age limit, although candidates must be at least 17 by December 31st of the entrance year.

Ans. None. Direct admission to the MBBS course in Hyderabad is not possible without qualifying for the NEET UG entrance exam, and this applies to the management quota and NRI seats at every private college in this list.

Ans. Because the figures belong to different fee categories rather than different price points. Telangana sets a Category A convenor-quota fee for private medical colleges that is a fraction of the Category B and NRI fees at the same institution.

• 2.40 Lakh to 5.17 Lakh – the convenor-quota scale, which covers AIMSR Hyderabad, BMC Hyderabad, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, AIMS Hyderabad, SIMS Hyderabad, Dr VRK Women's Medical College, MRIMS Hyderabad, CMR Institute of Medical Sciences and ESIC Medical College Hyderabad.
• 57.75 Lakh to 75.00 Lakh – the management and NRI scale, which is what Collegedunia publishes for CMR Group Hyderabad and NIMS Hyderabad.

A candidate comparing colleges should therefore compare within a quota rather than across the full range, because the same college can appear at either end depending on which seat is filled.

Ans. All MBBS admission in Hyderabad runs on a valid NEET UG score, through two counselling authorities.

• All India Quota, 15%: conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee. ESIC Medical College Hyderabad, as a central government institution, fills a far larger share through MCC and is the only college in this list with a complete four-year All India Quota record.
• Telangana state quota, 85%: conducted by Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Warangal, which is also the affiliating university for nine of the ten private colleges in this list.
• Minority quota: Deccan College of Medical Sciences, SIMS Hyderabad and Dr VRK Women's Medical College are recognised minority institutions and fill a share of seats through a separate minority merit list, which is why Collegedunia publishes no General-category state cutoff for them.
