KLH Courses and Fees

KLH offers engineering, management, and commerce programmes at its Hyderabad campus. The fee structure below is from the official fee data for the 2025-26 academic cycle, covering all semesters across the full programme duration.

B.Tech specialisations at KLH include CSE, AI and Data Science, and Electronics and Communication Engineering. MBA and BBA programmes are offered in five specialisations: Finance, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Digital Marketing, and Business Analytics. The BCA programme provides a 3-year technology path for students from non-engineering Class XII streams.

KLH Admission Process

KLH follows AICTE-approved admission norms for all programmes. Admissions are based on national or state entrance exam scores, with the university’s own KLEEE providing an additional channel for B.Tech admissions.

B.Tech Admission

Candidates applying for B.Tech at KLH must have completed Class XII with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects with at least 60% marks. The accepted entrance exams are:

• KLEEE (KL Engineering Entrance Examination) - conducted by KL University across multiple test windows
• JEE Main (NTA national exam, January and April sessions)
• JEE Advanced (for top JEE Main qualifiers)
• TS EAMCET (Telangana state engineering entrance)

Selection is based on entrance exam rank, followed by a KLH counselling round for scholarship determination. KLEEE scores are also used for merit scholarship assignment, with higher ranks attracting greater fee concessions.

MBA Admission

MBA candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree from a UGC-recognised university with at least 50% marks. Valid entrance scores from KLBSAT, TSICET, ICET, MAT, CAT, or XAT are accepted. Shortlisted candidates are called for a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) round conducted by KLH faculty. Final selection is based on entrance score, academic track record, GD, and PI performance.

BBA and BCA Admission

BBA and BCA programmes admit candidates on the basis of KLEEE, CUET scores, or direct merit in Class XII marks. No separate entrance test is mandatory for BBA and BCA, though KLEEE participation is encouraged for scholarship eligibility.

These NIRF 2024 rankings cover KL University as a whole. The parent institution’s NAAC A++ accreditation and strong NIRF engineering rank of 35 reflect the quality of the degree awarded to KLH students, whose credentials carry the KL University name.

KLH Campus and Infrastructure

KLH is located in Hyderabad, Telangana, within the northern Hyderabad tech corridor. The campus provides strong connectivity to the HITEC City IT zone and is accessible via the Hyderabad Metro. Hyderabad International Airport is 30 km from the campus area.

The campus infrastructure supports smart classrooms, computer labs with industry-standard software, and faculty drawn from both academia and industry. KL University overall hosts 600 acres of campus infrastructure across its institutions, with the Hyderabad campus being a growing extension hub. Hostel accommodation is available for both boys and girls at INR 1,38,725 to INR 1,48,725 per year, covering room and boarding expenses.

KLH benefits from the KL University ecosystem, which includes an active alumni network from the Vaddeswaram main campus, an entrepreneurship cell, and academic tie-ups with technology companies. Students at KLH have access to the same course delivery frameworks, LMS platforms, and placement infrastructure used across the KL University system.

KLH vs GITAM Hyderabad vs Mahindra University

Aspirants choosing between private deemed universities in Hyderabad for engineering or management programmes typically compare KLH with GITAM Hyderabad and Mahindra University. All three are private deemed universities in the Hyderabad region offering B.Tech and/or MBA programmes, with AICTE approval and UGC Deemed status.

KLH offers the advantage of a strong parent university NIRF ranking (University rank 22) and an established placement network. GITAM Hyderabad has a longer Hyderabad presence (since 2007) and a broader programme portfolio across law, pharmacy, and science. Mahindra University brings the Mahindra Group’s industry partnerships and a newer tech-focused curriculum, but is too recently established for NIRF coverage.
