\n| 2026 Highest Package<\/th>\n | \u20b956 LPA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n B.Tech Programmes at IIIT Kota<\/h2>\nB.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering<\/h3>\nComputer Science and Engineering is the largest B.Tech programme at IIIT Kota. The 2026 intake was 180 students, including 144 gender-neutral seats and 36 female-only supernumerary seats.<\/p>\n The curriculum covers programming, data structures, algorithms, databases, computer networks, operating systems, software engineering, computer architecture and theory of computation. Students can then move towards areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, data science and other emerging computing technologies.<\/p>\n The department’s laboratory infrastructure supports this progression. Students have access to dedicated AI and machine-learning laboratories, data-science facilities, algorithm and network laboratories and research workspaces. Project work, research seminars and internships add an applied component to the curriculum.<\/p>\n CSE also has the strongest current placement average at the institute. For the 2026 graduating cohort, the official brochure reports a highest CTC of \u20b956 LPA, an average CTC of \u20b920.09 LPA and a median of \u20b914 LPA.<\/p>\n B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering<\/h3>\nArtificial Intelligence and Data Engineering is the newer undergraduate computing programme. The 2026 intake was 60 seats, with 48 gender-neutral and 12 female-only seats.<\/p>\n The programme combines conventional computer-science foundations with artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, analytics and data engineering. The data engineering component broadens the programme beyond AI modelling alone, as students also need to understand the systems used to collect, store, process and serve large volumes of data reliably.<\/p>\n This makes the programme relevant to roles in AI\/ML engineering, data science, analytics, backend data systems and software development.<\/p>\n Because the programme is newer, its graduating placement history is not yet directly comparable with the established CSE and ECE cohorts. Current institute-level placement statistics should therefore not be interpreted as a separate AIDE placement average.<\/p>\n B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering<\/h3>\nECE offered 90 seats in the 2026 matrix, including 72 gender-neutral and 18 female-only seats.<\/p>\n The programme covers electronic circuits, digital systems, communication engineering, signals and systems, embedded systems, VLSI, instrumentation and semiconductor technologies. Dedicated laboratories support optical communication, signal processing, FPGA and VLSI work, embedded systems and high-frequency electronics.<\/p>\n Modern ECE also overlaps increasingly with software. Students may work in IoT, embedded programming, wireless systems, semiconductor design or software-oriented technology roles depending on their electives and projects.<\/p>\n The 2026 graduating ECE cohort recorded a 98.07% placement rate, an average CTC of \u20b914.73 LPA, a median of \u20b914 LPA and a highest CTC of \u20b947 LPA.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n IIIT Kota B.Tech Seat Matrix 2026<\/h2>\n\n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Gender-Neutral<\/th>\n | Female-Only<\/th>\n | Total<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| Computer Science and Engineering<\/td>\n | 144<\/td>\n | 36<\/td>\n | 180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering<\/td>\n | 48<\/td>\n | 12<\/td>\n | 60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Electronics and Communication Engineering<\/td>\n | 72<\/td>\n | 18<\/td>\n | 90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n | \n\n| Total<\/td>\n | 264<\/td>\n | 66<\/td>\n | 330<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n M.Tech Programmes at IIIT Kota<\/h2>\nIIIT Kota currently offers two regular two-year M.Tech programmes. Both are listed in the 2026-27 postgraduate admissions structure and participate in CCMT for regular GATE-qualified admission.<\/p>\n M.Tech CSE \u2013 Artificial Intelligence and Data Science<\/h3>\nStudents study advanced artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, statistical computing, optimisation, big-data analytics, information retrieval, computer vision and natural language processing. A major project or research component allows students to develop depth beyond taught coursework.<\/p>\n The programme is aimed at students interested in specialised technical roles as well as research-oriented careers. Potential areas include AI\/ML engineering, data science, analytics, research engineering and doctoral study.<\/p>\n M.Tech ECE \u2013 Semiconductor Technology<\/h3>\nThe curriculum covers advanced semiconductor devices, CMOS circuits, analog and digital IC design, physical design, semiconductor fabrication, nanofabrication, MEMS, semiconductor characterisation and embedded systems.<\/p>\n The programme is particularly relevant to the growing semiconductor and chip-design ecosystem. Graduates can target areas such as VLSI design, physical design, silicon validation, semiconductor testing, fabrication-related engineering and embedded hardware.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PhD Programmes at IIIT Kota<\/h2>\nIIIT Kota offers PhD admission through the CSE and ECE departments, with full-time and part-time categories. Current PhD categories include full-time scholars with institute assistantship, candidates holding their own scholarships such as CSIR\/UGC NET-JRF, sponsored full-time candidates, part-time external sponsored candidates and IIIT Kota project staff.<\/p>\n PhD in Computer Science and Engineering<\/h3>\nCurrent CSE research areas include generative AI, large language models, cybersecurity, machine learning, optimisation, explainable AI, cloud services, network virtualisation, quantum computing and related systems research.<\/p>\n PhD in Electronics and Communication Engineering<\/h3>\nECE research areas include optical communication, free-space optics, FPGA systems, 5G and 6G technologies, MIMO, OFDM, NOMA, microelectronics, semiconductor devices, intelligent sensors, biomedical applications, antenna systems and AI\/ML-based wireless systems.<\/p>\n Course-wise Duration & Admission Route<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Duration<\/th>\n | Admission Route<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| B.Tech CSE<\/td>\n | 4 years<\/td>\n | JEE Main + JoSAA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| B.Tech AIDE<\/td>\n | 4 years<\/td>\n | JEE Main + JoSAA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| B.Tech ECE<\/td>\n | 4 years<\/td>\n | JEE Main + JoSAA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| M.Tech AI & Data Science<\/td>\n | 2 years<\/td>\n | GATE + CCMT \/ self-financed route<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| M.Tech Semiconductor Technology<\/td>\n | 2 years<\/td>\n | GATE + CCMT \/ self-financed route<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| PhD<\/td>\n | Varies<\/td>\n | Direct institute application + selection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n IIIT Kota Eligibility Criteria<\/h2>\nB.Tech Eligibility<\/h3>\nB.Tech applicants must qualify JEE Main and satisfy the NIT+ academic eligibility rules. Candidates generally need either at least 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 or a position within the category-wise top 20 percentile of their qualifying board. For SC, ST and PwD candidates, the marks threshold is 65%.<\/p>\n Admission itself is based on JEE Main rank through JoSAA and, if seats remain, CSAB Special Rounds. IIIT Kota does not conduct a separate undergraduate entrance examination.<\/p>\n M.Tech Eligibility<\/h3>\nRegular M.Tech applicants need a relevant bachelor’s degree and a valid GATE score for admission through CCMT.<\/p>\n Under the standard CCMT eligibility framework, General, EWS and OBC candidates normally require at least 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA in the qualifying degree, while SC, ST and PwD candidates require at least 55% or 6.0 CGPA. Programme-specific degree and GATE-paper combinations are defined through the CCMT eligibility matrix.<\/p>\n Students applying to AI & Data Science normally come from CSE, IT and related computing or engineering backgrounds. Semiconductor Technology is intended primarily for candidates from electronics, communication, electrical and related engineering areas.<\/p>\n IIIT Kota also lists a self-financed admission route for its 2026-27 M.Tech programmes. Self-financed seats are handled separately from regular scholarship-bearing CCMT seats.<\/p>\n PhD Eligibility<\/h3>\nPhD applicants need a relevant B.E.\/B.Tech and\/or M.E.\/M.Tech or equivalent qualification in the research discipline. The institute’s PhD admission rules set a minimum of 60% marks or 6.0 CGPA for general eligibility, with relaxation to 55% or 5.5 CGPA for SC\/ST applicants. Departments can apply additional shortlisting criteria depending on the research area and number of applicants.<\/p>\n Sponsored and part-time candidates also need the relevant employer or sponsorship documentation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n IIIT Kota Admission Process 2026-27<\/h2>\nB.Tech Admission<\/h3>\n\n- Appear for JEE Main:<\/strong> Students seeking B.Tech admission first appear for JEE Main and receive an All India Rank.<\/li>\n
- Register for JoSAA:<\/strong> Eligible candidates register for JoSAA and list IIIT Kota’s CSE, AIDE and ECE programmes in their preferred order.<\/li>\n
- Seat allotment:<\/strong> JoSAA evaluates each candidate against the choices entered. A student is allotted the highest preference for which their rank, category and seat pool are sufficient.<\/li>\n
- Seat acceptance:<\/strong> Candidates complete the prescribed seat-acceptance payment and document verification. Students who want to retain the allotted programme can freeze it, while those seeking an upgrade use the option applicable under that year’s JoSAA rules.<\/li>\n
- Institute reporting:<\/strong> After JoSAA ends, candidates follow the institute’s reporting instructions, pay the remaining balance after central counselling payments are adjusted and submit the required original documents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
CSAB Special Rounds<\/h3>\nCSAB fills NIT+ seats remaining vacant after regular JoSAA counselling. Students register separately for CSAB and submit a fresh or permitted choice list according to that year’s rules. Because CSAB deals only with remaining vacancies, programmes can move significantly beyond their final regular JoSAA ranks.<\/p>\n A student targeting IIIT Kota with a rank slightly outside the regular JoSAA range should therefore examine previous CSAB data, but should not assume that the same vacancies will be available every year.<\/p>\n M.Tech Admission<\/h3>\nFor regular M.Tech seats, candidates appear for GATE and register separately for CCMT. They enter IIIT Kota and the desired specialisation in their preference list. CCMT allocates seats according to GATE score, category, eligibility and choice order. Candidates receiving IIIT Kota complete CCMT acceptance before reporting to the institute.<\/p>\n The institute also advertises self-financed M.Tech admission. These seats follow the IIIT Kota instructions for that cycle rather than being treated as ordinary scholarship-bearing CCMT seats.<\/p>\n PhD Admission<\/h3>\nPhD candidates apply directly to IIIT Kota rather than through CCMT. The institute usually admits PhD scholars in both odd and even semesters. Applications are first screened for eligibility, and shortlisted candidates then appear for an institute written test followed by an interview.<\/p>\n For the recent even-semester admission cycle, both the written test and interview were conducted at the Ranpur campus. Applicants should prepare not only their qualification documents but also subject knowledge and a clear explanation of their proposed research interests.<\/p>\n Typical Admission Timeline<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Typical Stage<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| B.Tech<\/td>\n | JEE Main in Jan\/Apr \u2192 JoSAA in Jun\/Jul \u2192 CSAB if required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| M.Tech<\/td>\n | GATE in Feb \u2192 CCMT in summer \u2192 institute reporting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Self-financed M.Tech<\/td>\n | Separate IIIT Kota notification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| PhD<\/td>\n | Institute notification; typically odd and even semester intakes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n IIIT Kota B.Tech Cutoff 2026<\/h2>\nThe 2026 JoSAA cutoffs for OPEN, gender-neutral seats were as follows.<\/p>\n \n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Round 1 Opening<\/th>\n | Round 1 Closing<\/th>\n | Final JoSAA Closing<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| CSE<\/td>\n | 17,752<\/td>\n | 27,568<\/td>\n | 31,149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| AI & Data Engineering<\/td>\n | 21,347<\/td>\n | 29,872<\/td>\n | 33,638<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| ECE<\/td>\n | 23,695<\/td>\n | 34,014<\/td>\n | 39,667<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n CSE remained the most competitive programme, followed by AIDE and ECE.<\/p>\n CSE Round-wise Closing Ranks 2026<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n| Round<\/th>\n | Closing Rank<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| Round 1<\/td>\n | 27,568<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Round 2<\/td>\n | 30,039<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Round 3<\/td>\n | 30,144<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Round 4<\/td>\n | 30,176<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Round 5<\/td>\n | 31,149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nIIIT Kota CSAB Cutoff 2026<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | CSAB Round I<\/th>\n | CSAB Round II<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| CSE<\/td>\n | 33,244<\/td>\n | 33,728<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| AIDE<\/td>\n | 36,183<\/td>\n | 38,416<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| ECE<\/td>\n | 44,804<\/td>\n | 47,440<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nIIIT Kota M.Tech GATE Cutoff 2026<\/h3>\nCCMT Round 1 had the following cutoffs.<\/p>\n \n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Maximum GATE Score<\/th>\n | Minimum GATE Score<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| AI & Data Science<\/td>\n | 573<\/td>\n | 514<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Semiconductor Technology<\/td>\n | 422<\/td>\n | 373<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n IIIT Kota Fee Structure 2026-27<\/h2>\nB.Tech Fee Structure<\/h3>\nFor General, OBC-NCL and EWS students, the B.Tech tuition fee is \u20b990,000 per semester. In addition, students pay common institute charges covering development, library and book-bank services, internet, sports, student welfare, examinations, training and placement, laboratory facilities and housekeeping.<\/p>\n The first semester also includes one-time payments such as the admission fee, institute caution money, alumni membership, identity-card charges and final-degree certificate charges. The current first-semester institute fee is therefore approximately \u20b91,35,425 for General\/OBC\/EWS students.<\/p>\n \n \n\n\n| B.Tech Fee Component<\/th>\n | General\/OBC\/EWS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| Tuition Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b990,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Common Institute Fees<\/td>\n | \u20b920,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Housekeeping Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b91,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| One-Time Admission Charges<\/td>\n | \u20b913,625<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Refundable Institute Caution<\/td>\n | \u20b910,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Group Insurance<\/td>\n | \u20b9800 annually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| First-Semester Institute Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b91,35,425<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nM.Tech Fee Structure<\/h3>\nIIIT Kota’s official full-time M.Tech fee schedule lists tuition of \u20b950,000 per semester for both of its postgraduate programmes, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science and Semiconductor Technology.<\/p>\n \n \n\n\n| M.Tech Fee Component<\/th>\n | Amount<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\n| Tuition Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b950,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Common Institute Fees<\/td>\n | \u20b918,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Housekeeping Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b91,000 per semester<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Admission Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b910,000 one-time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Institute Caution Money<\/td>\n | \u20b910,000 refundable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Alumni Membership<\/td>\n | \u20b92,000 one-time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| ID + Degree Certificate Charges<\/td>\n | \u20b91,625 one-time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Group Insurance<\/td>\n | \u20b9800 annually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| First-Semester Institute Fee<\/td>\n | \u20b993,425<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Regular Semester Fee<\/td>\n | Around \u20b969,000, plus insurance when applicable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nProgramme-wise Fee Summary<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n| Programme<\/th>\n | Tuition Fee<\/th>\n | First Academic Payment<\/th>\n | Approx.

The institute has submitted NIRF 2026 data under the Engineering and Overall categories, although it does not currently hold a numerical position in the latest published NIRF Engineering top-100 list.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FAQs About IIIT Kota<\/h2>\n\n \nIs IIIT Kota a good college?<\/summary>\n\n IIIT Kota is an Institute of National Importance with a permanent campus spread across approximately 100.37 acres at Ranpur, Kota. It offers a focused technology-oriented curriculum through B.Tech programmes in Computer Science and Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering, and Electronics and Communication Engineering. The institute also offers M.Tech and PhD programmes, giving students access to postgraduate study and research opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nWhat is the CSE cutoff at IIIT Kota?<\/summary>\n\n For OPEN gender-neutral seats in 2026, B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering closed at rank 27,568 in JoSAA Round 1 and 31,149 in the final regular Round 5. The cutoff moved further during CSAB, reaching 33,728 in Special Round II. CSE remained the most competitive B.Tech programme at IIIT Kota during the 2026 admission cycle. Applicants preparing for the next cycle can use these figures as a reference, although actual cutoffs change each year depending on applicant demand, seat availability and counselling movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nWhat is the AIDE cutoff at IIIT Kota?<\/summary>\n\n B.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering closed at 33,638 in final JoSAA Round 5 for OPEN gender-neutral seats in 2026. During CSAB Special Round II, the closing rank moved to 38,416. The programme therefore remained close to core CSE in terms of admission demand while allowing somewhat more movement in later counselling rounds. Students interested specifically in artificial intelligence, machine learning and data-oriented computing can consider AIDE as a separate programme choice during JoSAA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nHow much does B.Tech cost at IIIT Kota?<\/summary>\n\n The current B.Tech tuition fee is \u20b990,000 per semester.
