IIIT Hyderabad offers undergraduate programmes exclusively in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The institute runs two flagship undergraduate tracks: a four-year BTech program with an annual intake of about 250-300 students, and a five-year dual degree programme (BTech + MS by Research) that admits around 100 students each year. The dual degree, modelled on the US system, requires a research thesis and is designed to nurture bright undergraduates into research pathways from the very beginning. At the postgraduate level, IIIT Hyderabad offers MTech programmes that are strongly industry-focused and particularly popular among students from private colleges who seek advanced skills and better career opportunities. About one-third of MTech entrants have work experience, often using the programme as a springboard for career progression. Admissions to MTech are through IIIT’s own PG entrance exam, with fees of Rs 4.5 lakhs per year and an annual intake of around 100 students.
