Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT)

Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT), established 1997, is a private autonomous engineering college in Gandipet, Hyderabad, run by the Chaitanya Bharathi Educational Society (the same trust behind CBIT) and affiliated to JNTU Hyderabad. NIRF placed it in the 251-300 band for engineering. Per NIRF-linked placement reporting, 698 of 820 eligible UG students were placed (about 85%), with a median package near ₹5 LPA. CSE sees the strongest recruiting.

Founded by Chaitanya Bharathi Educational Society (the same trust that runs CBIT - both colleges share governance and Gandipet location). MGIT shares campus proximity to CBIT and benefits from similar Hyderabad IT corridor access via Outer Ring Road.

BTech admission through TS EAMCET counselling - primary route. Management quota also available. ~1200 BTech intake across 7+ branches. CSE and AI/ML specialisations are highly competitive.

TS EAMCET cutoffs are estimates from publicly available Telangana State Counselling data; verify against TS EAMCET annual reports.

Seat splits and fees vary by college and year. Always confirm the current management-quota fee directly with the college before deciding.

Total 4-year cost: ~₹8-10 Lakhs

Per NIRF-linked reporting, 698 of 820 eligible UG students were placed (about 85%), with a median package of roughly ₹5 LPA. A separate 2024 placement drive reported a highest offer of ₹25 LPA. CSE placement is stronger than the college-wide average; other branches trail behind it.

Branch-wise B.Tech Placements

Branch-wise figures are ESTIMATES ONLY, not independently verified against an official MGIT report. Relative ordering (CSE strongest, Civil weakest) is plausible, but exact rupee figures should not be treated as confirmed - and the college-wide verified median (₹5 LPA) is notably lower than every branch figure shown here, which is itself a sign these branch numbers run optimistic. Needs a follow-up pass against an official branch-wise disclosure.

• Hostels: On-campus hostels for most students; separate blocks for men and women; mess with regional cuisine; 24/7 security.
