IIT Bhubaneswar admission criteria for undergraduate courses including all B.Tech and Dual Degree programs are based on the results of the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Advanced and counselling, which is conducted through JoSAA. Eligibility to take the exam requires completion of 12th grade with science subjects. On the other hand, admission to the Integrated Teacher Education Programme is determined through the National Common Entrance Test, along with subject-specific eligibility and marks criteria.
For postgraduate programs, admission to the M.Tech program requires a valid GATE score and a relevant engineering degree. Entry into the M.Sc program is through the JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.). The MS by Research and PhD programs necessitate a GATE, CSIR-UGC NET, or other comparable national-level exam scores, depending on the specific area of study. Reserved categories receive concessions concerning marks and upper age limits for all programs.
