NITWET2011 (National Institute of Technology Warangal Entrance Test) is a National Level
Entrance Test being conducted for admission into various M. Sc. Programmes at NIT
Warangal. The admission into M.Sc. programmes at NIT Warangal will be based on the Rank
obtained in NITWET 2011 ONLY.

Candidates seeking admission into M.Sc. should have passed B.Sc. or equivalent degree in
the subject concerned from a recognized University/ Institution with First Class and not less
than 60% aggregate marks (of all the years) or equivalent CGPA of 6.5/10. In case of SC/ST
and Physically Challenged (PC) candidates 55% aggregate marks or equivalent CGPA of
6.0/10 is the eligibility requirement.
