IIITM Gwalior: Admission Process 2026-27

B.Tech Admission

Entry route: JEE Main score, followed by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counselling

Applies to standalone B.Tech and both integrated dual-degree programmes (B.Tech+M.Tech, B.Tech+MBA). Candidates register for JoSAA, lock their choices (institute and branch preference), and are allotted seats across multiple rounds based on rank, category, and seat availability A CSAB Special Round follows JoSAA for any seats still vacant after the regular rounds

Fees: Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF), payable on first allotment, is ₹30,000 to 35,000 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS candidates and ₹15,000 for SC/ST/PwD candidates (this is standard across all NIT+ system institutes, not specific to IIITM Gwalior).

A further Partial Admission Fee of roughly ₹45,000 (General/OBC-NCL/EWS) or ₹20,000 (SC/ST) applies after the final round; both amounts are later adjusted against the institute’s tuition fee. There is no separate JoSAA registration fee.

M.Tech Admission

Entry route: valid GATE score, followed by CCMT (Centralised Counselling for M.Tech/M.E./M.Plan/M.Arch)

Candidates register separately for CCMT, pay the counselling fee, and fill in choices; allotment happens across multiple rounds, including a National Spot Round for vacant seats. In some cycles, the institute has also opened limited Non-CCMT or on-spot windows directly for GATE-qualified candidates against seats vacant after CCMT

Fees: CCMT registration and participation fee is approximately ₹3,500

MBA Admission

Entry route: valid CAT score (MAT, CMAT, ATMA, GMAT, GRE, or CUET PG have also been accepted in recent cycles)

Shortlisted candidates go through a Written Test, Group Discussion or Writing Comprehension, Extempore, and Personal Interview, generally held across multiple centres (recent cycles included Gwalior, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Guwahati). Applications are submitted directly through the institute rather than a third-party platform

Fees: Application fee is ₹1,000 for General/OBC candidates and ₹500 for SC/ST/PwD/Female candidates. Provisionally selected candidates then pay a non-refundable admission fee of ₹40,000, which is later adjusted as part of the total programme fee.

PhD Admission

No JoSAA, CCMT, or CAT-based counselling. Candidates apply directly through the institute’s online portal for a specific admission round

The institute typically opens PhD admissions twice a year (odd and even semester intakes), and some rounds are specifically opened to non-GATE and non-NET applicants. Selection is through a Written Test followed by a Presentation-cum-Interview, usually held on campus

Fees: Application fee is ₹500 for General/OBC/EWS candidates and ₹250 for SC/ST/PwD candidates

Important Dates & Application Steps

Exact dates shift every admission cycle, so the table below reflects the general sequence and approximate timing pattern the institute has followed rather than fixed dates for 2026-27. 

IIITM Gwalior 2026-27 Cutoff Trends

IIITM Gwalior cutoffs vary by programme, category, seat pool and counselling round. For B.Tech and integrated programmes, JoSAA publishes category-wise All India opening and closing ranks based on JEE Main. M.Tech admissions use GATE scores through CCMT, while MBA admission follows the institute’s separate selection process.

The 2026 JoSAA data show that Computer Science and Engineering remained the most competitive B.Tech programme at IIITM Gwalior. The tables below use gender-neutral seats unless stated otherwise. JoSAA ranks, and later CSAB special-round ranks, should not be directly compared because CSAB reports ranks differently for reserved-category candidates.

B.Tech Cutoff

Year-wise Closing Rank Trend, OPEN Category

The closing ranks below compare the final JoSAA round for gender-neutral OPEN seats.

CSE closed at 8,888 in the final JoSAA round of 2026, compared with 9,527 in 2025. EEE moved from 17,366 in 2025 to 17,551 in 2026.

2026 JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks

The following figures show the final JoSAA round for OPEN, gender-neutral seats across IIITM Gwalior’s undergraduate and integrated programmes.

Among these programmes, CSE had the lowest 2026 closing rank at 8,888. Mathematics and Scientific Computing closed at 11,720, followed by the integrated B.Tech-M.Tech programme at 12,435.

2026 Category-wise Cutoff for B.Tech CSE

Reserved-category ranks below are category ranks, while the OPEN figure is based on the Common Rank List. They should therefore be interpreted within their respective categories rather than compared directly.

CSE cutoffs generally moved to higher rank numbers as JoSAA counselling progressed. For OPEN seats, the closing rank changed from 8,073 in Round 1 to 8,888 in the final JoSAA round.

2026 Category-wise Cutoff for B.Tech EEE

EEE followed a similar pattern, with closing ranks generally moving upward by the end of JoSAA counselling.

For OPEN seats, the EEE cutoff moved from 15,078 in Round 1 to 17,551 in the final JoSAA round.

MBA Cutoff (CAT Score)

IIITM Gwalior has not published a fixed category-wise CAT percentile cutoff for MBA admission for the 2026-27 academic session. Applicants are instead required to hold a valid score from one of several accepted management entrance examinations.

The final selection process may also include a Written Test, Group Discussion, writing comprehension, extempore, and Personal Interview, so the entrance-exam score is not the sole selection criterion.

M.Tech Cutoff (GATE Score)

M.Tech admission at IIITM Gwalior is conducted through CCMT using GATE scores. Unlike JEE Main cutoffs, CCMT tables report maximum and minimum GATE scores for each programme and counselling round.

The table below compares the minimum OPEN-category GATE 2026 score in Round 1 with Round 3 for programmes where Round 3 data were reported.

Cutoff Trend Analysis

• CSE remains the most competitive B.Tech branch at IIITM Gwalior. Its final OPEN-category closing rank was 8,888 in 2026, compared with 17,551 for EEE. At the M.Tech level, CSE also recorded the highest Round 1 minimum GATE score among the major specialisations listed for 2026.
• Closing ranks generally move upward as JoSAA counselling progresses, but the change is not equally large across categories. In 2026 CSE, for example, the OPEN closing rank moved from 8,073 in Round 1 to 8,888 in the final round, while OBC-NCL moved from 3,469 to 3,603. EEE showed somewhat wider movement in categories such as OPEN and SC.
• B.Tech cutoffs have remained relatively stable across 2024 to 2026, with some year-to-year movement rather than a consistent loosening trend. CSE closed at 8,044 in 2024, moved to 9,527 in 2025, and tightened again to 8,888 in 2026. EEE moved from 17,195 to 17,366 and then 17,551 over the same period.

IIITM Gwalior Fee Structure 2026-27 Out at iiitm.ac.in

IIITM Gwalior’s 2026-27 fee varies by programme. The institute charges tuition and other academic fees semester-wise, with hostel, mess and one-time admission charges added separately.

The total is indicative and may change if semester charges are revised. 

IIITM Gwalior: Fee Payment & Refund Policy

Fee payment at admission should be viewed separately from the total programme cost because students entering through central counselling may already have paid amounts through JoSAA, CSAB or CCMT.

For B.Tech and other NIT+ admissions, JoSAA requires candidates retaining an allotted seat to pay the applicable Seat Acceptance Fee and Partial Admission Fee before institute reporting. Candidates must assess the institute’s reporting instructions for the balance payable after these counselling payments are adjusted.

IIITM Gwalior’s approved admission-cancellation rules distinguish between withdrawal during counselling and withdrawal after the admission process has ended:

Scholarships & Financial Aid

Merit-based Scholarships

The primary merit-linked support available to IIITM Gwalior students is the Merit-cum-Means (MCM) Scholarship, a central government scheme aimed at meritorious students from economically weaker backgrounds.

Beyond MCM, the institute periodically notifies additional institute-level and donor-funded scholarships, though these are announced on a per-year basis rather than as a fixed, guaranteed offering, so check the current year’s notification for specifics.
