IIIT Hyderabad Cut Off 2026 - Check JEE Main, UGEE, PGEE Cutoff, Trends

IIIT Hyderabad expected cutoffs for 2026 indicate rising competition, with JEE Main ranks for CSE likely going below 1,000, while UGEE cutoffs are expected to stay close to 13 for SUPR. Admissions run through 2 routes. JEE Main applicants apply after the July 2025 results and must meet the 60% PCM requirement, followed by a video interview that evaluates aptitude. UGEE applicants take the computer-based test in April 2026 and then attend interviews, with final lists released between May and June. IIIT Hyderabad selection combines 70% weightage to exam score and 30% weightage to interview.

• SUPR, a.k.a. Subject Proficiency Test, is a 60-minute exam which is computer-based and conducted only at physical exam centres.
• REAP stands for Research Aptitude Test and has a duration of 120 minutes.
• The 2026 cutoffs are likely to rise 10-15% from 2025 amid higher applicant volumes.

IIIT Hyderabad expected JEE Main cutoff for 2026 is likely to close around AIR 3700 for CSE and below 7000 for ECE in for the General category. The 2025 JoSAA trends showed plenty of students scoring 99.95% or higher. Anticipating that the same situation may repeat in 2026, the expected cutoff for the 2026 admission has been tightened by 5%.

• For ECE, expect around the 99.82 percentile, not much away from CSE.

IIT Hyderabad JEE Main 2025 cutoffs closed at AIR 3,865 for CSE in the final round, after six allotment cycles. This was about 15% lower than 2024, partly because of spot-round changes. Around 2,500 students qualified for BTech CSE at IIT-H, and interviews led to offers for about 40% of them. The ECE cutoff was easier, closing at around Rank 7,008.

• The R1 closing rank for ECE is more than double to CSE, at nearly 1290.
• Although there is not much difference in the final percentile between ECE and CSE, the final closing rank for ECE was much more relaxed than CSE in 2025.

IIIT Hyderabad UGEE cutoff  2026 is likely to be around 13 for SUPR interview calls and 70 for REAP, with only a small 2–3 mark increase due to more than 4,000 applicants. UGEE 2026 is a 150-mark MCQ exam that checks research aptitude. The highest scorers move to interviews focused on innovation skills, and around 80 seats are offered across the dual-degree programmes.

• SUPR may see a lower cutoff but shortlists more candidates.
• Around 40% of candidates can be converted for final admission in SUPR, while in REAP, the conversion rate is 30%.
• REAP can have a higher cutoff yet shortlist fewer candidates.

The 2025 UGEE cutoffs were around 12.75 for SUPR, with about 200 candidates shortlisted, and 68 for REAP, with roughly 150 candidates called. These were slightly lower than 2024 because the paper was tougher, especially in logical reasoning. Results came out in May 2025, and around 35% of shortlisted students received final offers, with the ECE dual degree filling fastest.

Key Points:

• SUPR saw a lower cutoff due to increased paper difficulty, but the shortlist size remained similar to previous cycles.
• REAP maintained a steady competition level, with only a small shift in cutoff and strong demand for dual-degree seats.

IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Cutoff 2026 will probably see a slight upward trend, primarily due to the institute's continued excellence in computer science and AI-related fields, which increases the annual competition. For applicants, this means aiming for a score above the previous year's minimum will be necessary to secure a seat.

• Expect around a 2.13% increase in the 2026 PGEE cutoff from 2025.
• The IIIT Hyderabad PGEE paper pattern is likely to remain the same with the similar in-depth objective questions.
• For IIIT Hyderabad admission, the candidates are likely to require around 50 for MTech in CSE and CSIS.

IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Cutoff 2025 saw candidates needing a minimum of 47.00 to 48.25 marks out of 90 to secure admission into the highly sought-after M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme during the initial allocation rounds. For MTech CSE, the PGEE 2025 cutoffs stayed high because the exam demanded strong theoretical understanding and accurate coding solutions.

• IIIT Hyderabad PGEE paper pattern in 2025 was quite tough for using objective questions predominantly in the CSE Paper (Paper II). Topics included complex, application-based problems on data structures and algorithms, requiring deep conceptual understanding rather than rote memorisation. These factors uplifted cutoffs.
• For every incorrect answer, there is a negative marking of 25%. So, for every 4 wrong answers, candidates lose 1 mark in negative marking only.
• For MTech, the PGEE cutoff in 2024 and 2025 remained unchanged.

For admission to the UG programmes via JEE Main, the required closing rank for the most competitive programmes, like CSE, initially tightened from 2023 to 2024 while being a bit relaxed in 2025. On the other hand, MTech admissions through the IIITH-PGEE displayed remarkable stability in the required cutoff score over the same three-year period. The PGEE cutoff was the same in both 2024 and 2025, keeping the trend quite stable.

• JEE Main closing rank for BTech admission tightened by 6.22% from 2023 to 2024, while getting relaxed by 96.21% in 2025.
• From 2023 to 2025, the IIITH-PGEE cutoff increased by 7.22% with increased competition, while staying at the same range in both 2024 and 2025.
• UGEE cutoff from 2023 to 2025 increased by 1.22%.

There are various factors that determine the cutoff for IIIT Hyderabad. These factors include:

• Number of Applicants: A higher number of applicants leads to higher cutoffs due to increased competition.
• Difficulty of Entrance Exam: If the exam is considered difficult, cutoffs may be lower; conversely, easier exams tend to result in higher cutoffs.
• Number of Available Seats: Fewer available seats increase competition, driving up cutoff scores.
• Previous Year's Cutoff Trends: Significant changes in applicant numbers or exam difficulty can alter this trend.
• Reservation Policies: Different categories (e.g., SC, ST, OBC) result in varying cutoffs.
• Popularity of Courses: Highly popular courses will have higher cutoffs.
