Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology

Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology (KMIT), established in 2007, continues to be a premier engineering destination in Hyderabad, Telangana for the 2026 academic year. Located in the heart of the city at Narayanguda, it is known for its rigorous academic environment and industry-aligned curriculum.

• Affiliation: Autonomous institution affiliated with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH).
• Location: Centrally located in Hyderabad, providing easy access to the IT hubs of Hitech City and Gachibowli.
• Unique Selling Point: The 'Finishing School' concept that bridges the gap between industry requirements and academic learning.
• Accreditation: NAAC 'A' Grade and NBA accredited departments.
• Focus Area: High emphasis on Computer Science and Information Technology specializations.

For 2026, KMIT remains a top choice for students pursuing specialized engineering degrees. The most sought-after programmes include:

• B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE): The flagship programme with the highest cutoff ranks.
• B.Tech in CSE (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning): Focused on modern computational intelligence.
• B.Tech in CSE (Data Science): Tailored for the evolving big data industry in Hyderabad's tech ecosystem.
• B.Tech in Information Technology (IT): Highly competitive with excellent placement records.

All programmes integrate the KMIT Finishing School modules into the final years to enhance employability.

Admissions at KMIT for 2026 are primarily conducted through the TS EAPCET (Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) counseling process. The intake is divided into Category A (Convener Quota) and Category B (Management/NRI Quota).

Students seeking Category B seats should apply directly through the KMIT official portal following the notification from the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE).

Note: Check exact dates on the official exam and college websites.

Note: These are approximate figures based on past trends, not official cutoffs. Check the latest official counselling cutoff before applying.

The 2026 cutoffs are expected to remain highly competitive, particularly for the CSE branch. Based on previous trends, the estimated TS EAPCET closing ranks for General Category (OC) are:

• CSE: 2,500 - 4,500
• CSE (AI & ML): 3,500 - 5,500
• CSE (Data Science): 4,000 - 6,000
• Information Technology: 5,000 - 7,500

Ranks vary significantly for reserved categories (BC, SC, ST) and female candidates. Competitive local regional candidates from Hyderabad usually target ranks under 5,000 to ensure a seat in the core CSE branch.
