JNTUH Admission Process
B.Tech Admission
B.Tech admission to JNTUH constituent colleges is entirely through the TG-EAPCET (Telangana Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) state counselling process. The state quota covers all government seats, while a small NRI and management quota is filled by the institution directly.
- Eligibility: 10+2 with PCM from a recognised board, with minimum 45% aggregate (40% for SC/ST)
- Entrance: Valid TG-EAPCET rank; exam covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
- Counselling: Centrally conducted by TGSCHE (Telangana State Council for Higher Education) via web options/online counselling
- Seat allotment: Based on TG-EAPCET rank, category, and college and branch preference
JNTUHCEH (the main campus college) is one of the most sought-after constituent colleges under JNTUH counselling. CSE and ECE branches at JNTUHCEH typically close with competitive EAPCET ranks. Civil and Chemical Engineering branches generally have more relaxed cutoffs. Category-wise rank lists (OC, BC-A/B/C/D/E, SC, ST) are maintained separately.
M.Tech Admission
M.Tech admission is through GATE score or TS-PGECET (Telangana PG Engineering Common Entrance Test) for non-GATE candidates. GATE-qualified students are allocated AICTE-sponsored seats with full monthly stipend.
- Eligibility: B.Tech/BE in relevant discipline; minimum 60% aggregate
- Priority for GATE-qualified candidates; TS-PGECET rank for remaining seats
MBA and MCA Admission
MBA and MCA admissions are through TS-ICET (Telangana Integrated Common Entrance Test), a state-level test conducted by TGSCHE for management and computer applications programmes.
- MBA eligibility: Graduation in any discipline with minimum 50% marks
- MCA eligibility: BCA or graduation with Mathematics at degree or 10+2 level
- Counselling: TGSCHE central counselling based on TS-ICET rank
PhD Admission
JNTUH conducts PhD admissions twice a year through a written research aptitude test and interview at the university. Research is available across all engineering, science, management, and humanities departments at the main campus and constituent colleges.
JNTUH Placements
The JNTUH main campus placement cell (covering JNTUHCEH and the university campus) recorded over 600 job offers in 2025-26, with a highest package of INR 52 LPA and an average package of INR 6 LPA. More than 100 companies participated in campus placements, with an additional 40 plus paid internship opportunities offered to students across batches.

EEE, Mechanical, and Civil graduates are placed primarily in core sector roles with PSUs, government organisations, and manufacturing firms, at lower average packages. A significant proportion of graduates also pursue GATE and higher studies or government jobs through UPSC and TSPSC examinations.
JNTUH Rankings
JNTUH is ranked 81st in the University category and 94th in Engineering in NIRF 2025. It holds the distinction of being the only state-funded technological university from Telangana in the NIRF rankings, and is ranked 6th among all engineering colleges in Telangana across NIRF.
| Ranking Body | Category | 2025 Rank | 2024 Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| NIRF | University | 81 (Score: 49.22) | Data available on NIRF portal |
| NIRF | Engineering | 94 | Data available on NIRF portal |
JNTUH’s NIRF score of 49.22 in the University category reflects solid performance in Teaching, Learning and Resources and Outreach and Inclusivity. Research output and Perception scores present scope for improvement. As a government university with a large affiliating mandate, JNTUH’s research profile is concentrated in constituent college faculty-led projects and PhD programmes, rather than a wide research publication base comparable to top research universities.
JNTUH Scholarships
The low government-regulated fee structure at JNTUH constituent colleges (B.Tech: INR 1,19,213 for 4 years) itself constitutes significant public subsidy. In addition, multiple scholarship schemes cover tuition fees and living expenses for eligible students.
| Scholarship | Eligibility | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Telangana ePASS (SC/ST) | SC/ST category; Telangana domicile; income criteria | 100% tuition fee reimbursement |
| Telangana ePASS (BC/OBC) | BC category; Telangana domicile; family income below INR 1 Lakh per annum | Tuition fee reimbursement as per state norms |
| EWS Fee Reimbursement | Economically Weaker Section (non-reserved); family income below INR 1 Lakh per annum | As per Telangana EWS scheme |
| EAMCET Merit Fee Waiver | EAMCET rank below 10,000 (approx.); Telangana state domicile | Partial to full tuition fee waiver as per TGSCHE norms |
| GATE Stipend (M.Tech) | Valid GATE score; AICTE-sponsored M.Tech seat | INR 12,400 per month (MHRD) |
| National Scholarship Portal (Central) | SC/ST/OBC/Minority; family income below INR 2.5 Lakhs per annum | As per NSP schedule |
SC/ST students from Telangana are effectively fully fee-covered through the ePASS fee reimbursement scheme. Eligible students must apply through the Telangana ePASS portal (epass.telangana.gov.in) by the deadlines announced each academic year. GATE-qualified M.Tech students receive INR 12,400 per month directly from the Ministry of Education, making M.Tech at JNTUH effectively self-funded for meritorious candidates.
JNTUH Campus and Infrastructure
The JNTUH main campus spans 89 acres in Kukatpally, Hyderabad. The campus houses the university administration, central research facilities, the JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad (JNTUHCEH), and the JNTUH School of Information Technology. Kukatpally is a major IT and residential hub within Hyderabad, with good connectivity to Gachibowli, HITEC City, and the Hyderabad Metro network.
Academic infrastructure at the main campus includes engineering and science laboratory complexes, a central university library with digitised journals and research databases, a computing centre, and innovation and incubation facilities. JNTUH houses DST-funded research labs and AICTE-supported research centres across several departments. The main campus also hosts a technical training and placement centre that coordinates campus recruitment for students from JNTUHCEH and other constituent colleges.
Hostel facilities are available at the main campus and most constituent colleges for eligible students. The campus sports complex includes cricket, volleyball, football, and athletics facilities. JNTUH constituent colleges collectively operate across Telangana, including at Sultanpur, Nachupally (Jagtial), Karimnagar, Manthani, and Medak, extending access to quality engineering education to students from all districts of the state.
JNTUH vs JNTUK vs Osmania University
Aspirants from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh targeting government-funded engineering education commonly compare JNTUH with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK) and Osmania University College of Engineering (OUCE), Hyderabad. All three are state government institutions in the same region, admitting students primarily through TG-EAPCET or equivalent state-level exams.
| Parameter | JNTUH, Hyderabad | JNTUK, Kakinada | Osmania University, Hyderabad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | State Government Technological University (Telangana) | State Government Technological University (AP) | State Government Central University (Telangana) |
| Established | 1972 | 2008 (bifurcated from JNTU) | 1918 |
| NIRF University 2025 | 81 | Data on NIRF portal | 101-150 band |
| NIRF Engineering 2025 | 94 | Data on NIRF portal | Not ranked separately |
| B.Tech Admission | TG-EAPCET | AP-EAPCET | TG-EAPCET |
| B.Tech Fees (4 years) | INR 1,19,213 | INR 1,00,000 to 1,50,000 | INR 80,000 to 1,20,000 |
| Affiliated Colleges | 500+ (Telangana) | 300+ (AP) | Not an affiliating tech university |
| Placement (Highest, 2025-26) | INR 52 LPA | INR 25+ LPA | INR 15+ LPA |
JNTUH holds the stronger NIRF rank and higher placement highs due to its Hyderabad location, proximity to HITEC City and IT corridor, and the larger recruiter base that Hyderabad’s industry ecosystem provides. JNTUK is the primary affiliating university for engineering colleges in coastal Andhra Pradesh and serves AP state students. Osmania University’s engineering stream (OUCE) is a traditional government engineering college, not a technological university — its scope is narrower but its humanities, sciences, and law schools are equally strong. Aspirants from Telangana with strong TG-EAPCET ranks should target JNTUHCEH’s CSE or ECE branch for the best career outcomes among the three.
