About IIIT Sri City
Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City, commonly known as IIIT Sri City or IIITS, is an Institute of National Importance established in 2013. The institute was set up by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, along with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and industry partners represented by the Sri City Foundation under the Public-Private Partnership model.
Academically, IIIT Sri City has built its programmes around computer science, electronics, artificial intelligence, data science and technology-led research. It currently offers three four-year B.Tech programmes: Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
The undergraduate intake has expanded significantly over the years. For the 2026-27 admission cycle, IIIT Sri City has 438 B.Tech seats, including female-only supernumerary seats. CSE is the largest programme with 276 seats, followed by ECE with 96 and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science with 66.
The institute also offers postgraduate and research opportunities through M.Tech, MS by Research and PhD programmes. A newer online M.Tech structure has been introduced in areas such as Cyber Security, IoT and Autonomous Systems, and VLSI.
IIIT Sri City Campus & Hostel Facilities
IIIT Sri City has a permanent campus spread across approximately 80 acres within Sri City. Its location gives the institute a residential setting while also placing it close to one of South India’s major industrial and business zones.
Here’s what IIIT Sri City campus offers its students:
Academic Infrastructure
The main academic building houses classrooms, faculty offices, laboratories, research spaces and the library. Large classrooms have projectors, whiteboards and other teaching facilities, while software and hardware laboratories support practical coursework.
The campus also has specialised research facilities connected with the institute’s focus areas. A notable feature of the academic setup is the opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in research. Students can begin working with faculty on projects during the B.Tech programme rather than waiting until postgraduate study.
Library
The library is located within the academic block and provides books, reference material, journals and access to electronic academic resources. Students can use the library for regular coursework as well as independent project and research work.
Hostel
The campus has dedicated hostel blocks along with dining facilities. Rooms are provided with basic furniture such as a bed, study table, chair and cupboard, allowing students to settle into campus accommodation without arranging major furniture separately.
For students entering in 2026, the hostel establishment fee is ₹22,000 per semester. Mess charges are another ₹22,000 per semester. Together, hostel and mess therefore come to ₹44,000 for a regular semester at the current rate.
Mess & Dining
Dining facilities are available within the campus for residential students. The mess serves regular meals and operates as part of the residential setup for both boys and girls. The current mess fee is ₹22,000 per semester.
Because the academic and residential areas are on the same campus, students can move easily between hostels, classes, laboratories, the library and student activity areas during the day.
Student Activity Centre & Gym
The academic infrastructure includes a student activity space known as The Hub. It provides working space for the Student Council and student clubs and acts as a centre for activities beyond classroom academics. The campus also has gym facilities for students.
Student organisations work across technology, culture, sports and campus-life activities. The Student Life Council coordinates with the administration on areas such as hostels, mess operations, events and sports.
Sports
IIIT Sri City encourages participation in both recreational and competitive sports. Students participate in internal competitions, inter-college events and the annual Inter-IIIT Sports Meet. The campus development plan includes courts and grounds for sports such as basketball, volleyball, tennis and football, along with other indoor and outdoor activities.

The part-time PhD route is designed particularly for working professionals from technology companies, multinational organisations and government research institutions such as DRDO and ISRO. Applicants must have a relevant academic background along with the required professional experience and employer permissions.
IIIT Sri City Eligibility Criteria
B.Tech Eligibility
B.Tech admission is based on JEE Main followed by JoSAA counselling. Candidates must pass Class 12 or an equivalent qualifying examination with the subjects required for B.E./B.Tech admission.
Students entering the NIT+ system must either obtain at least 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 or fall within the category-wise top 20 percentile of their board. For SC, ST and PwD candidates, the minimum aggregate requirement is 65%.
Once these academic conditions are met, admission depends on the candidate’s JEE Main rank, category, programme preference and availability of seats. Keep in mind that there is no Andhra Pradesh home-state quota. JoSAA seats are allotted through the All India pool.
M.Tech Eligibility
Students with a valid GATE score can seek regular M.Tech admission through the Centralized Counselling for M.Tech, or CCMT. These candidates follow the eligibility and seat-allotment conditions applicable through CCMT.
IIIT Sri City also has a non-GATE admission route. Candidates graduating from Centrally Funded Technical Institutions can be considered on the basis of their previous academic performance. Applicants from this route with a CGPA of at least 8.0 are screened before appearing for a coding test and interview.
Online M.Tech Eligibility
From 2026, IIIT Sri City also offers online M.Tech programmes in three areas:
- Cyber Security
- IoT and Autonomous Systems
- VLSI
These programmes are structured differently from the conventional residential M.Tech and are particularly suited to working professionals.
Applicants can hold a B.Tech, B.E., B.S., M.Tech, M.Sc., MCA, MS or another equivalent qualification in a relevant discipline. The normal minimum requirement is 55% marks or a CPI/CGPA of 5.5 out of 10.
GATE is not mandatory for the online M.Tech route. For applicants with MCA or M.Sc. qualifications, the postgraduate marks are considered during eligibility assessment. For B.E. or B.Tech graduates without a later postgraduate specialisation, the undergraduate score is used.
MS by Research Eligibility
IIIT Sri City currently accepts MS by Research applications in areas connected with Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Mathematics & Data Science.
MS by Research in Computer Science and Engineering
Applicants can qualify through a bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Technology, or another equivalent engineering qualification, with at least 60% marks or equivalent CGPA.
Students from non-engineering academic backgrounds can also be eligible if they have a relevant master’s degree. Accepted areas include Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Electronic Science, Computer Science, Computer Applications and Information Technology, along with related subjects where the student has a strong background in mathematics and programming.
MS by Research in Electronics and Communication Engineering
Applicants can enter through a bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Technology with at least first-class performance, normally 60% or above, or an equivalent CGPA.
Candidates with relevant master’s degrees in subjects such as Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Electronic Science, Information Technology or closely related areas can also be considered.
Selection Process
Admission is based on the institute’s own written test and interview.
A valid GATE score can strengthen an application, but GATE alone does not guarantee admission. The institute evaluates whether the candidate has the background and research potential required for the proposed area.
Programme Structure
The MS by Research programme normally requires a minimum of four semesters and is designed to be completed in around two years.
The coursework component is relatively compact. Students typically complete Research Methodology along with a small number of core or elective courses recommended for their research area, after which most of the programme is devoted to research.
Students work under a faculty guide and an MS Scrutiny Committee that periodically reviews their progress.
PhD Eligibility
The exact eligibility depends on the department and whether the applicant is entering through a postgraduate qualification or a direct-PhD route.
Full-Time PhD
For the current full-time PhD admission framework, applicants can qualify through a relevant master’s degree completed after at least five years of higher education following Class 12.
Candidates in the General, EWS and OBC categories normally need at least 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA, while SC, ST and PwD applicants receive the prescribed relaxation.
IIIT Sri City also provides a route for strong candidates entering after a four-year bachelor’s degree. In the current 2026 rolling admission framework, such candidates generally need at least 70% marks or 7.5 CGPA, along with a suitable academic and research background.
The institute’s department-specific rules provide further detail.
For a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering, applicants commonly hold an M.E., M.Tech or MS by Research in CSE or a closely related area. Candidates with backgrounds such as MCA, M.Sc. Computer Science, Mathematics or Statistics can also be considered when their academic preparation is relevant to the proposed research.
For Electronics and Communication Engineering, candidates generally come from postgraduate programmes in Electronics, ECE, Instrumentation, Electrical or related engineering disciplines. Applicants with relevant Physics or Electronics backgrounds can also be considered according to the department’s admission rules.
For Mathematics and Data Science, applicants normally need bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics, Statistics or an equivalent discipline, along with the required academic performance. A valid score in examinations such as GATE, CSIR/UGC-NET/JRF, NBHM or INSPIRE can also form part of the eligibility requirements.
Direct PhD After B.Tech
IIIT Sri City also allows particularly strong engineering graduates to be considered for direct PhD admission without first completing an M.Tech.
This route is meant for applicants with an excellent academic record and demonstrated research potential. Departmental rules have allowed candidates from CFTIs, Institutes of National Importance or highly ranked institutions with a strong B.Tech CGPA and evidence such as research papers, intellectual property or other research outputs to be considered.
This is therefore not simply an alternative for avoiding a master’s degree. The direct-PhD route is aimed at students who already show clear research ability at the undergraduate level.
IIIT Sri City Admission Process 2026-27
Admission to IIIT Sri City works differently at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and research levels. Here’s what it looks like for different programs:
| Programme | Main Admission Route |
| B.Tech | JEE Main + JoSAA |
| B.Tech vacant seats | CSAB Special Rounds |
| B.Tech for eligible international/NRI candidates | DASA |
| Regular M.Tech | GATE + CCMT or IIIT Sri City open channel |
| Online M.Tech | Direct application to IIIT Sri City |
| MS by Research | Direct application + institute selection process |
| PhD | Direct application + written test/interview |
B.Tech Admission
Admission to the B.Tech programmes in Computer Science and Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and Electronics and Communication Engineering is based on JEE Main.
What Happens After a JoSAA Seat Is Allotted?
After receiving a seat, the candidate must accept it through the JoSAA portal, pay the prescribed seat-acceptance fee and upload the required documents for verification. JoSAA also asks candidates to choose an option such as Freeze, Float or Slide, depending on whether they want to keep the allotted seat or remain eligible for an upgrade in later rounds.
Documents B.Tech Students Should Keep Ready
Although the final document list is published with the reporting instructions, students should normally be prepared with their JEE Main and JoSAA documents along with Class 10 and Class 12 certificates, identity documents, category certificates where applicable, transfer or migration documents and the required admission undertakings.
Candidates claiming EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST or PwD benefits should pay particular attention to the prescribed certificate format and validity period because JoSAA applies category-specific documentation rules.
CSAB Special Round Admission
CSAB is conducted after the regular JoSAA rounds to fill seats that remain vacant in the NIT+ system. IIIT Sri City seats that become available after withdrawals, upgrades or non-reporting can therefore appear during CSAB counselling.
Students need to register separately for CSAB according to that year’s counselling schedule. Participating in JoSAA does not automatically mean that a candidate is entered into the CSAB Special Rounds.
DASA Admission
This route is separate from the normal JoSAA seat-allocation process and is intended for eligible foreign nationals and other candidate categories covered under the current DASA rules, including the CIWG framework where applicable. Applicants follow the central DASA admission process administered through the designated admission authority. Once a candidate receives an IIIT Sri City allotment, the institute handles the remaining fee payment, document submission and reporting process.
M.Tech Admission
IIIT Sri City has two distinct types of M.Tech admission:
- Regular two-year M.Tech programmes, currently offered in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Cyber Security.
- Online M.Tech programmes, currently offered in Cyber Security, IoT & Autonomous Systems and VLSI.
The admission processes for these two routes are different.
Regular M.Tech Admission Through GATE and CCMT
Candidates with a valid GATE score can seek admission to the regular M.Tech programmes through CCMT, the Centralized Counselling for M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan admissions.
Students first appear for GATE in an appropriate paper. After GATE results are announced, eligible candidates register for CCMT and fill their preferred institute-programme combinations.
If IIIT Sri City’s M.Tech programme is offered through CCMT in that cycle, the candidate can include it in the preference list. CCMT then allocates seats according to GATE score, category, programme eligibility, preference order and available seats.
Regular M.Tech Admission Without GATE
IIIT Sri City also provides an open-channel route for non-GATE applicants, which means a student does not necessarily need a valid GATE score to be considered for the regular M.Tech programme.
The selection procedure differs according to the applicant’s undergraduate background.
CFTI Graduates With 8.0 CGPA or Above
Shortlisted candidates then appear for a coding test and interview conducted by IIIT Sri City.
Other Non-GATE Applicants
Applicants who do not fall within the above CFTI route are also initially screened using their academic record. Shortlisted candidates appear for an institute written examination, with the test syllabus broadly similar to the relevant GATE-level material.
Online M.Tech Admission
The online M.Tech programmes follow a separate direct-admission process and do not use CCMT. IIIT Sri City currently offers online M.Tech programmes in:
M.Tech in Cyber Security
This programme is designed for professionals who want advanced training in areas such as cryptography, network security, penetration testing, cloud security and secure systems.
M.Tech in IoT & Autonomous Systems
This programme focuses on embedded computing, connected devices, IoT technologies, sensors and autonomous systems.
M.Tech in VLSI
The VLSI programme is intended for applicants interested in semiconductor design, electronic circuits, integrated systems and chip-design technologies.
For these programmes, candidates submit an online application directly through the IIIT Sri City admission process along with the required academic and professional documents. The Admissions Applications Committee first checks whether the applicant satisfies the eligibility conditions. Candidates who clear this stage receive confirmation that their application is eligible for further consideration.
The programmes are specifically designed to accommodate working professionals, so professional background is considered alongside academic qualifications. The online M.Tech regulations normally require a relevant degree such as B.E., B.Tech, B.S., M.Tech, M.Sc., MCA, MS or an equivalent qualification, with the minimum marks or CGPA prescribed by the institute.
MS by Research Admission
Unlike B.Tech or GATE-based M.Tech admission, MS admission is not handled through JoSAA or CCMT. The institute publishes its own application forms and admission notifications.
The current rolling-admission system provides application routes under Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and research areas listed under Mathematics & Data Science/English on the current admissions page.
The research topic available to an applicant depends on faculty expertise, current research projects and the availability of a suitable supervisor.
