IIITH-UGEE: International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad Undergraduate Entrance Examination

UGEE is not just another engineering entrance—it’s IIIT Hyderabad’s exclusive gateway to research-driven dual-degree programmes. If you’re comfortable with puzzles, enjoy thinking from first principles, and want a B.Tech plus an MS by research in five years, this exam is designed to filter for exactly that. Unlike JEE, UGEE weighs analytical ingenuity as heavily as PCM knowledge, and your final shot at a seat depends entirely on an interview, not a rank. The exam structure (SUPR + REAP) rewards strategic risk-taking because every wrong answer costs you 25%. The reward? A place at an institute where undergraduate research is the norm and placements routinely cross ₹30 LPA.
