Is there an option to leave two subjects in JNTUH?
Yes,JNTUH has an option of leaving 2 subjects. But that does not mean you don’t have to appear for the exams in these subjects. It’s just that these two subjects are spared from being included in the final grade calculation.
So you have to study all the subjects and appear for their respective exams. Ultimately when the result of your final semester exams is out, you can leave two subjects in which you have backlogs. For this, you will have to fill out the form beforehand. Also, this is subject to certain conditions such as
- These 2 subjects should be non-technical
- The credit value of these 2 subjects should be equivalent to 8.
In such case case, you don’t have a single back, then non-technical subjects having the least value are removed automatically. The final percentage is calculated after removing these subjects only.
How many marks do we need to get a distinction in JNTUH?
As per the new R-09 and R-13 regulations, JNTUH students won't be getting a distinction for each and every subject. Once their 4th-year 2nd Semester results are out, a Consolidated Marks Memo(CMM) will be issued to them. This CMM includes all their semesters' subjects and respective marks. This Memo will also include the marks of the 2 excluded subjects, the marks of which will not be included in the final result.
In JNTUH, calculating your grade is quite easy. Grades are calculated on the basis of the percentage calculated on the score that you have secured in all the semesters combined to the total mark of 5250. Students are graded as follows
- Those who have secured a 69.5% and above get “First Class with Distinction”.
- Those who have secured between 59.5% and 69.5% get “First Class”.
This process continues further for subsequent percentages.
However, the procedure might be different if you are following the R-16 regulations. Under the new grading system, you can check your Subject Performance Standards like Outstanding, Excellent, etc. You can also see this SGPA which stands for Sessional/Semester Grade Point Average which can be converted in percentage format. Additionally, there will be a CGPA which is calculated as such
CGPA=(SGPA1+SGPA2+.....+of all semester)/(SCP1+SCP2+.....+of all semesters)
Here, SCP stands for Sessional/Semester Credit Points set to all subjects. Overall, students getting 6.95 and above in their CGPA/OGPA, will be given distinction along with First Class, O, A+, A, any other grade, etc.

What should be the PGECET rank to get an MTech seat in JNTUH for an OC male candidate?
Unfortunately, there is no proper answer to this question. In reality, GATE qualifiers are preferred by JNTUH over PGECET rank holders. Even Rank 1 in PGECET can not guarantee your admission to JNTUH.
But to give you a concrete number, you must get at least rank 50, unless you want a less popular branch like Biomedical Engineering. But then again, most of the seats are filled at JNTUH by GATE qualifiers.
It will be better if you prepare for GATE instead of PGECET, to get an M.Tech seat in JNTUH or Osmania.
Which is a better college for CS, JNTUH or CBIT?
Before I tell you about the better institute between JNTU Hyderabad and CBIT, let me ask you a question. Are you genuinely interested in CS, or is it just because it’s a highly coveted branch and everyone is after it these days? You need to determine if you are serious about becoming a coder or a computer programmer or if is it just because you want to get placed early.
Once you are sure about CS, then considering the quality of education, infrastructure, and experienced professors, JNTUH seems to be the better option.
Ultimately, the institute does not guarantee your chances of success but your passion and hard work do.
Which is better, IIIT Sri City or JNTU Hyderabad? Is IIIT a low standard when compared to JNTU Hyderabad?
IIIT Sri City is better than JNTU Hyderabad. It has a better peer group which is reflected in the higher cutoff requirements. IIIT Sri City follows the course structure and curriculum of IIIT Hyderabad. So, you will receive better learning and resources.
The institute has maintained an excellent placement record over the years. Companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, etc. take part in IIIT Sri City placements. The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA.
I have a choice of joining JNTUH or CBIT this year. I can also repeat to go for the NIT or BITS the next year. What should I do now?
A close friend of mine is currently pursuing an integrated program at JNTU and is not at all pleased with its standard of education. He stated a few points that clarified his stance further
- Majority of the subjects are taught by lecturers and not the actual professors. They have no interest in teaching and teach only a handful of subjects and leave the rest to untrained and underqualified lecturers.
- Introduction of new courses like IDP, IDDMP, IIDDMP is greatly affecting the quality of education. The high batch size affects the student-teacher ratio and the limited resources cannot be availed by everyone.
- JNTU 5-year course placements are very poor. CBIT has better companies than JNTU that offer better packages and opportunities.
- JNTU has a better location than CBIT which is in a remote location and has limited outside life.
- JNTU has no transport facilities so this might be a major obstacle throughout your program.
In all, I would suggest you go for CBIT as it seems to be in a better position than JNTU both in terms of placements as well as quality of education.
How is the fee structure at JNTUH?
The fee structure at JNTUH for the popular courses is as follows.
- B.Tech: INR 1.19 lakhs.
- M.Tech: INR 3.09 lakhs.
- MCA.: INR 3.06 lakhs.
All the fees mentioned above are for the first year. The fee for IDDMP courses is INR 70,000 per semester.
The structure of the fees also depends on the reimbursement of the same and the Management Quota. The fee reimbursement candidates get an exception of fees of INR 35,000 and they will have to pay a fee of INR 65,000 a year.
The candidates in the management quota have an understanding with the college department that is mutual. The bracket price comes around to 4 or 5 lakhs once you have completed the degree.
Which is better, Osmania or JNTU H?
It's difficult to determine the better university between Osmania and JNTU Hyderabad as both universities have their unique strengths and weaknesses. However, I have listed some common points of difference to give you a slight idea
- NTUH is relatively younger than JNTU which was established as early as 1918.
- JNTUH has 4 different sets of question papers like the pattern of CBSE Board exams while Osmania University has a single set only.
- There are more than 200 colleges under the umbrella of JNTUH while Osmabia has only 7 colleges under its affiliation.
- A 70% in JNTUH is considered the highest grade i.e. A+.while in OU it's easy to score around 85-90%.
- NTUH syllabus gets updated every 2 years while the OU syllabus remains the same throughout a decade and is therefore irrelevant to the current trends.
Rather than saying one is better than the other, I would say, both OU and JNTU are proficient in diverse academic fields. in their educational performances. JNTUH is better for engineering while Osmaniya is better for the medical field.
Which university is good, Osmania or JNTU, for engineering in Hyderabad?
One of my friends studied at Osmania University. According to him, Osmania University really helped him in learning engineering from scratch. Here are some reasons why it is his first choice.
- Less number of colleges: Osmania, unlike other universities, does not give affiliation to any random college, thus maintaining a standard. JNTU has hundreds of colleges under its wing, due to which the newly established ones lack quality.
- Fair Evaluation: Due to lesser colleges there are lesser students, which gives Osmania the advantage of evaluating exam papers precisely. Also if they are found incorrect the cost of reevaluation is less, INR 300. Whereas Reevaluation at JNTU costs INR 1000. JNTU was also infamous for its faulty correction.
- Projects: JNTU has students submit a mini project in 4-1 and a major project in 4-2. Whereas Osmania does not put much pressure on the students, as they have to pitch the idea of the project in 4-1 and submit it in 4-2.
It is widely known among every student and professionals that Osmania’s degree has more value than JNTU.
