IIT Hyderabad M.Tech Admission 2027: GATE, COAP, Programmes, Fees

IIT Hyderabad M.Tech admission 2027 will be through a valid GATE score for the main TA (Ministry of Education) seats, an application on IITH's own portal, and offer acceptance on COAP. IITH has not announced 2027 dates; in 2026, applications ran from 27 March to 23 April 2026 after two extensions.

This page covers only IIT Hyderabad: its programmes, admission categories, eligibility, GATE papers, fees and stipend. For how COAP and CCMT work across all IITs, start with our IIT M.Tech admission 2027 guide.

When is IIT Hyderabad M.Tech admission 2027?

IIT Hyderabad has not published its 2027 schedule. For the July 2026 session, its official flyer shows applications opening on 27 March 2026 and closing, after extensions, on 23 April 2026. Online programmes and M.Sc Medical Physics stayed open till 30 April 2026. Expect a similar window in 2027.

Your GATE score drives the main route. Track the exam on our GATE 2027 exam date page and use our week-by-week GATE plan to 6 February to cover the syllabus before February.

Which M.Tech programmes does IIT Hyderabad offer?

IITH's July 2026 flyer lists regular M.Tech programmes in 13 departments or units, several with specialisations, plus interdisciplinary, sustainability-school and online M.Tech programmes. Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical and Aerospace, Civil and Artificial Intelligence are the largest groups.

Each programme has its own brochure on iith.ac.in/mtechadmissions with GATE papers and selection rules. Read it before you pay.

What is the eligibility for IIT Hyderabad M.Tech?

IITH's senate eligibility document for July 2026 asks for a B.E., B.Tech, B.Des, B.Arch, M.Sc, MCA or 4-year BS with first class, defined as 60% or CGPA 6.0. For the TA category, selection is based on GATE score. IIT B.Tech and IISc 4-year BS students with CGPA 8.0 or more can apply without GATE.

• TA (MoE): first class plus GATE; offers through COAP.
• RA (project): first class plus GATE, or 6 months of research at IITH, or 2 years in industry or an R&D lab; test and/or interview.
• Govt. lab or industry sponsored: first class plus a recommendation (Integrated Defence HQ or DRDO) or NOC and study leave.
• Self-sponsored: first class; entrance test and/or interview.

Except for the GATE-based TA category, IITH relaxes the marks requirement by 10% for OBC and 15% for SC and ST candidates. It also says the cut-off may be raised if applications are many.

Which GATE paper do you need for IIT Hyderabad M.Tech?

Each department names the GATE papers it accepts. For example, the CSE brochure asks for a valid GATE score in CS for the 2-year MoE M.Tech, and Electrical Engineering maps each stream to specific papers. Mechanical and Aerospace also accepts XE, except for Robotics and Intelligent Systems.

How do COAP offers work at IIT Hyderabad?

IITH's flyer says every GATE-qualified candidate applying for the M.Tech TA category must first register on COAP, because the COAP registration number is needed in the IITH application form. Offers are then released on COAP in rounds, and you accept, hold or reject them there.

The CSE brochure adds that the department may run written tests or interviews after COAP to fill unfilled seats. It also notes that 2-year M.Tech intake is only for July, while its 3-year research M.Tech usually admits in July and January.

What GATE score is needed for IIT Hyderabad M.Tech?

IITH departments say MoE-category admission is guided mainly by GATE score cut-offs, with interviews if needed. However, we did not find a consolidated official cut-off list on IIT Hyderabad's M.Tech admissions page as of 9 October 2026, so we are not printing last year's numbers.

Several websites publish "IIT Hyderabad M.Tech cut-offs" that do not match each other or say which round they cover. Treat them as unofficial. Check your department's admissions page for any official list.

What are IIT Hyderabad M.Tech fees and stipend?

IITH's fee table for PG students newly enrolled in July 2026 shows a first-semester total of Rs 86,583 for regular General and OBC students, including tuition of Rs 12,000. MoE (TA) students get a stipend as per Ministry of Education norms; self-sponsored students get none.

The totals include one-time charges, hostel, mess and insurance. Project (RA) M.Tech students pay the same fee as regular students. IITH's brochures do not print the stipend amount; IIT Delhi's 2026-27 brochure, for comparison, lists Rs 12,400 a month for GATE-qualified M.Tech students.

Which other routes does IIT Hyderabad offer?

Besides TA, IITH admits M.Tech students under research assistantship, sponsored, self-sponsored and online modes. These routes rely on tests, interviews or experience rather than GATE alone.

• 3-year research M.Tech (RA): stipend from the project; GATE or IITH project experience or 2 years' industry work.
• Self-sponsored: higher fee and no stipend; GATE is recommended but not mandatory in CSE.
• Online M.Tech: Computational Mechanics, Industrial Metallurgy, Data Science, Heritage Science and Technology, ICME and EV Technology; most need 2 years' experience with NOC, or GATE.
