GNIOT: What It Is and Where It Stands
GNIOT is an AKTU-affiliated private institute at Knowledge Park II, Greater Noida, with a substantial UG intake and NIRF-participating placement record.
Greater Noida Institute of Technology (GNIOT) is a private engineering institute established in 2001, approved by AICTE and affiliated to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, under college code 132. Your degree is therefore an AKTU degree, and the seat comes through AKTU's centralised counselling. The campus sits at Plot No. 7, Knowledge Park II, Greater Noida, within walking distance of the Knowledge Park II metro station — a real advantage if family visits or internship commutes from Noida and Delhi matter to you.
The institute states on its own site that it is NAAC A+ accredited in the first cycle; if the grade matters to your decision, ask to see the certificate during a campus visit. GNIOT also submits data to NIRF and appears in the India Rankings 2024 Engineering participated-institutes list (2024).
B.Tech branches offered: Computer Science and Engineering with specialisations in Cyber Security, AI, Data Science and AI & ML, plus Information Technology, Electronics and Communication, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil. Scale is substantial: sanctioned UG intake was 870 (AY2022-23, GNIOT NIRF 2024 submission, IR-E-I-1471), with 2,358 UG students on rolls in that submission.
Admission Route: How You Actually Get a Seat
The seat comes through UPTAC on JEE Main scores — a multi-round, freeze/float allotment process.
The counselling seat route runs through UPTAC — Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling — which AKTU conducts for its affiliated institutes. For B.Tech, UPTAC allots seats on JEE Main scores; the portal itself instructs B.Tech applicants to enter profile information as per the JEE scorecard (2026). The 2026 counselling runs on uptac.samarth.edu.in — the older uptac.admissions.nic.in portal now redirects there.
The process, in order:
- Register on the UPTAC portal with your JEE Main details — the 2026 portal listed a B.Tech registration deadline of 10 August 2026; confirm the live schedule before acting.
- Complete online document verification and pay the counselling fee.
- Fill and lock college-branch choices — GNIOT is college code 132.
- Multi-round seat allotment follows (the portal published Round 3 allotments in the current cycle), with freeze/float decisions and seat-confirmation payment at each round.
- Report to the institute with the seat allotment letter — GNIOT's own admission page is written around this letter as the entry document.
GNIOT also operates a direct application portal. If you are considering any seat outside UPTAC counselling, get the exact quota, its fee treatment and its approval status from the institute in writing before paying anything.
Fee Structure (What Is Officially Published)
GNIOT's own session 2026-27 fee page: ₹1,80,000 year one, ₹1,75,000 each later year.
GNIOT publishes a year-wise B.Tech fee schedule on its official fee page for session 2026-27. the published cost is ₹1,80,000 in year one and ₹1,75,000 in each later year (2026-27).
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition fee (per year) | ₹91,370 |
| Registration fee (per year) | ₹10,000 |
| Other fees (per year) | ₹73,630 |
| Year 1 total (includes ₹5,000 refundable security) | ₹1,80,000 |
| Years 2–4 (each) | ₹1,75,000 |
Adding the college's own published annual figures gives ₹7,05,000 for the four-year degree excluding hostel and transport — our computed sum of the official year-wise schedule, not a college-published total. The tuition component (₹91,370) is the fee-regulation figure; the remainder is institute charges, so read any third-party "tuition only" number carefully — the amount you actually pay each year is the full ₹1,75,000–₹1,80,000. Transport is optional and priced by route as a one-time payment; the route-wise amounts are on the official fee page and worth checking against your pickup point before you commit.
Cutoff Trends: How to Read Them
No official branch-wise UPTAC closing rank could be located for GNIOT — read the UPTAC portal itself once results publish.
GNIOT branch-wise UPTAC closing ranks: not published in any official round-wise document we could locate, checked again 2026-08-20. We do not reproduce cutoff numbers we have not read in an official round-wise publication, and the aggregator numbers circulating for this college are not sourced. The authoritative record is the UPTAC portal itself: after every allotment round it publishes the allotment outcome, and round-wise opening and closing ranks for each institute-branch-category combination are released there (2026).
How to actually use those numbers when they appear:
- Read closing ranks per round, not as one number — later rounds at large private AKTU institutes typically close far below round one, and the final-round figure is the honest picture of who actually got in.
- Check your own category column. UP and non-UP treatment, and category-wise seat availability, change the effective cutoff materially.
- Expect demand to concentrate in the CSE family (CSE, AI, Data Science, IT) — at most private institutes in this belt, core branches like Mechanical and Civil close at much softer ranks than CSE.
- Compare at least two previous years before treating any rank as a benchmark; single-year cutoffs move with seat-matrix and exam-difficulty changes.
If your JEE Main rank is borderline, fill GNIOT choices across branches rather than betting on one branch surviving to the last round.
Placements: What Is Verifiable
The institute's own NIRF 2024 filing shows a genuinely improving but modest UG median salary trend.
The most reliable placement numbers for GNIOT are the ones it signed and submitted to NIRF. the UG median salary rose from ₹3,93,870 to ₹5,02,122 across the three graduating batches in the institute's NIRF 2024 submission (IR-E-I-1471).
| Graduating batch | Graduated on time | Students placed | Median salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-21 | 563 | 394 | ₹3,93,870 |
| 2021-22 | 470 | 312 | ₹3,99,000 |
| 2022-23 | 475 | 345 | ₹5,02,122 |
For longer context, the institute's NIRF 2020 submission reported a median of ₹2,94,000 for the 2018-19 batch — so the median has grown, but from a modest base. Read the placed-versus-graduated columns as carefully as the salary: in each year a meaningful share of the batch was not placed through campus.
What is not published: branch-wise medians, an audited average package, and recruiter-wise offer counts. We fetched GNIOT's own official NIRF PDF directly again on 2026-08-20 to check for a newer filing — it is the identical NIRF 2024 submission (IR-E-I-1471) already cited above, confirming no newer official aggregate exists for the AY2023-24 or AY2024-25 batches. The college's own placement page lists individual offers (examples in the ₹5.5–10 LPA range, with recruiters such as Infosys and Paytm named) but without cohort-year labels or totals, so we do not treat those as batch statistics.
Hostel & Campus Life
Hostel fees are published openly for session 2026-27 — unusually transparent for this segment.
GNIOT runs separate on-campus hostels for boys and girls, each stated to accommodate 750 students, with Wi-Fi-enabled buildings and recreation areas. Unusually for this segment, the hostel tariff is published openly with the session label on the official fee page.
| Room type | Annual fee |
|---|---|
| Three-seater, cooler | ₹1,48,500 |
| Three-seater, air-conditioned | ₹1,89,000 |
| Two-seater, cooler | ₹1,71,000 |
| Two-seater, air-conditioned | ₹1,98,000 |
The published hostel fee includes food and lodging, a ₹10,000 registration component and a ₹5,000 refundable security deposit (2026-27). That makes the realistic annual budget for a hosteller roughly the tuition-side ₹1,75,000 plus ₹1,48,500–₹1,98,000 for the room category you pick — before personal expenses.
Day scholars have two practical options: the institute's optional bus service, which covers pickup zones across Delhi-NCR on a one-time payment that is non-refundable after a three-day trial, or the metro, since the campus is within walking distance of Knowledge Park II station. Mess menu, hostel rules and in/out timings are not published on the site — ask for them in writing during the campus visit.
How GNIOT Compares
GNIOT's real edge is transparent fees and NCR geography, not brand or branch-wise placement depth.
Compare by decision axis, not by brochure.
- Against government institutes such as COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai: those are a different cost class — government fee structures with long recruiter history — but they sit in Maharashtra's MHT-CET counselling, not the JEE Main + UPTAC route. If you are a UP-domicile student with a strong JEE Main rank, the equivalent move is a government or aided institute in your own counselling, not a private NCR campus.
- Against strong private Pune institutes such as PICT Pune and VIT Pune: those admit largely through MHT-CET and their placement reputations are built on a two-decade Pune IT pipeline. GNIOT's counter-argument is geography — Greater Noida sits inside the Delhi-NCR hiring market, metro-connected, which matters for internships and off-campus interviews in a way Pune does not for a north-Indian student.
- Against SPIT Mumbai: SPIT is a smaller, selective city campus with sharply higher entry cutoffs; GNIOT is a large-intake institute where entry is easier and outcomes depend more on what you do in four years.
The honest summary: GNIOT's verifiable strengths are transparent published fees, an NCR location, and NIRF-documented medians trending upward from a modest base. If your rank commands a stronger brand in any counselling you are eligible for, the stronger brand usually wins the decision.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a B.Tech seat at GNIOT — which exam and which counselling?
Appear for JEE Main, then register for UPTAC, the centralised counselling AKTU runs for its affiliated institutes. For 2026 the portal is uptac.samarth.edu.in. You register with your JEE Main details, verify documents online, fill choices (GNIOT's college code is 132), and receive a seat through multi-round allotment. Report to the campus with your seat allotment letter to complete admission.
How many UPTAC rounds are there, and what happens after I am allotted a seat?
UPTAC runs multiple online allotment rounds — the current portal published Round 3 allotments — followed by any special or institute-level rounds it notifies. After allotment you choose freeze (accept and stop) or float (hold while trying for a better choice), pay the seat-confirmation amount within the window, and finally report to GNIOT with the allotment letter. Missing a payment window forfeits the allotted seat.
What documents should I keep ready for UPTAC counselling and GNIOT reporting?
Keep your JEE Main scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets and certificates, domicile and category certificates where applicable, photo ID, passport photos, and the UPTAC seat allotment letter for reporting. GNIOT's admission page also asks for anti-ragging affidavits from student and parent, a gap-year affidavit if relevant, and scholarship documents. Verify the current UPTAC document list on the portal before your verification slot.
How does hostel allotment work at GNIOT, and can first-years get a room?
GNIOT has separate on-campus hostels for boys and girls, each stated to house 750 students, and hostel is optional — the tariff is published separately from tuition with room categories from three-seater cooler to two-seater air-conditioned. Allotment is handled by the institute after admission, so apply for hostel when you report, and confirm in writing which room categories still have vacancies before paying.
Can I change my branch after first year at GNIOT?
Branch change in an AKTU-affiliated institute is governed by the university's rules and depends on vacancies in the target branch and first-year academic performance. The institute's website does not publish a branch-change policy, so do not assume it as a fallback while choice-filling. If a specific branch matters to you, secure it in counselling rather than planning to switch later, and confirm the current AKTU ordinance with the admission office.
What is GNIOT's actual B.Tech fee for session 2026-27?
₹1,80,000 in year one (tuition ₹91,370 + registration ₹10,000 + other fees ₹73,630, including a ₹5,000 refundable security deposit) and ₹1,75,000 in each of years two through four, per the official fee page. That is a computed four-year total of ₹7,05,000, excluding hostel and transport.
What is GNIOT's verifiable placement record?
The institute's own NIRF 2024 submission (IR-E-I-1471) shows UG median salary rising from ₹3,93,870 (2020-21 batch) to ₹5,02,122 (2022-23 batch), with 345 of 475 graduates placed in the most recent reported year. Branch-wise medians, average package and highest package are not published in any official document we could locate.
Is there a published UPTAC cutoff for GNIOT I can rely on?
No official branch-wise closing-rank publication for GNIOT (college code 132) could be located, checked again 2026-08-20. Aggregator sites publish cutoff numbers, but they are not sourced to the UPTAC portal and are not used on this page. Read round-wise opening and closing ranks directly from uptac.samarth.edu.in once each round's results are published.
Extended admission FAQs
Does GNIOT's hostel fee include food?
Yes. The published session 2026-27 hostel tariff — ₹1,48,500 to ₹1,98,000 per year depending on room type — includes food and lodging, plus a ₹10,000 registration component and a ₹5,000 refundable security deposit, per the official fee page.
How is the GNIOT four-year fee total calculated?
₹7,05,000 is our computed sum of the official year-wise schedule — ₹1,80,000 for year one plus ₹1,75,000 for each of years two, three and four — not a total GNIOT itself publishes as a single figure. It excludes hostel and optional transport.
Does GNIOT offer transport for day scholars?
Yes, an optional bus service covering pickup zones across Delhi-NCR, priced by route as a one-time payment that is non-refundable after a three-day trial, per the official fee page. Day scholars can alternatively use the metro, since the campus is walking distance from Knowledge Park II station.
Why doesn't this page show a UPTAC cutoff rank for GNIOT?
No official round-wise UPTAC closing-rank document naming GNIOT (college code 132) could be located, even after a fresh check on 2026-08-20. Aggregator sites display numbers, but they are not admissible as a source under this site's sourcing rules. Once UPTAC publishes round-wise results for the year you are applying in, read them directly from uptac.samarth.edu.in.
Has GNIOT published newer placement data than the NIRF 2024 submission?
No. We fetched GNIOT's own official NIRF PDF directly on 2026-08-20 and it is the identical NIRF'2024 filing (IR-E-I-1471) already cited on this page — the same 2020-21 through 2022-23 batch figures. No newer official aggregate for the 2023-24 or 2024-25 batches has been published as of this check.
What is the NAAC accreditation status of GNIOT?
GNIOT states on its own site that it is NAAC A+ accredited in its first cycle. This page has not independently viewed the certificate — ask to see it during a campus visit if the grade is material to your decision.
Which branches does GNIOT offer for B.Tech?
Computer Science and Engineering (with Cyber Security, AI, Data Science and AI & ML specialisations), Information Technology, Electronics and Communication, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil, per the official courses page.
What happened to the earlier version of this page?
There was no fabricated override for this page — the underlying research was already honest and well-sourced. This rebuild adds the site's standard quickAnswer, key facts and FAQ structure, and converts the original honest missing-figure markers (branch-wise UPTAC cutoffs, AY2024-25 placement data) into plain prose after confirming, via a fresh check on 2026-08-20, that no newer official documents exist for either gap.
