If you want to study engineering in western Uttar Pradesh, IFTM University in Moradabad is one of the names that comes up early in the search. It is a private university with its own School of Engineering and Technology, and its B.Tech is a four year undergraduate degree. This guide pulls together the eligibility rules, fees, branches and application routes for 2026 entry. Fee and eligibility figures below are as listed on admission portals such as Collegedunia, CollegeDekho and Shiksha for the 2026-27 session, so confirm the final figure on IFTM's official admission portal before you pay anything.
Who can apply
The basic rule is simple. You need to have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, with at least 45 percent aggregate marks. For SC and ST candidates the minimum is 40 percent. That 45 percent line is consistent across the admission portals that list IFTM's B.Tech programmes, and it matches the general norm for private universities in Uttar Pradesh.
There is no single entrance exam that every applicant must clear. IFTM admits students through JEE Main scores, CUET UG scores and merit based on Class 12 marks, depending on the branch and the round. If you have a JEE Main score, it strengthens your application. If you do not, a strong Class 12 PCM score still keeps you in the running through the merit route. Diploma holders can enter laterally into the second year, with a minimum of 50 percent in the diploma.
Branches on offer
IFTM's School of Engineering and Technology offers B.Tech across the branches students actually ask about: Computer Science and Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Biotechnology, and Agricultural Engineering. CSE and AI draw the most applicants, which is no surprise given where software hiring sits in 2026. Civil, Mechanical and Electrical remain solid choices if you want core engineering roles or government exam preparation after graduation. Agricultural Engineering suits students from farming backgrounds in western UP who want an engineering degree tied to agriculture.
Fees: what four years actually cost
Admission portals list IFTM's B.Tech tuition fee at Rs. 92,000 per year, plus an examination fee of Rs. 10,000 per year. That works out to Rs. 1,02,000 per year before any one-time charges. Add a one-time processing fee of Rs. 5,000, and the four year total comes to about Rs. 4,13,000 in tuition and examination charges.
- Tuition fee: Rs. 92,000 per year
- Examination fee: Rs. 10,000 per year
- One-time processing fee: Rs. 5,000
- Four year total (tuition plus exam plus processing): about Rs. 4,13,000
- Hostel (optional): about Rs. 45,000 per year including food and lodging, as listed on admission portals
That total puts IFTM in the affordable band for private engineering colleges in UP, where four year totals often cross Rs. 6 lakh. Compare the same bundle everywhere, not tuition alone.
Entrance exams and the two routes you should not confuse
Students often mix up two different admission systems. IFTM University runs its own admission process as a private university, through JEE Main, CUET UG or merit. Separately, Uttar Pradesh's centralised counselling for AKTU affiliated colleges is called UPTAC, and it runs on JEE Main ranks. For the 2026 cycle, UPTAC registration ran from May 25 to June 15, 2026, with choice filling from June 22 to 25 and the first seat allotment on June 27, 2026. Seat confirmation fees in that system were Rs. 20,000 for General and OBC-NCL candidates and Rs. 12,000 for SC, ST, EWS and PwBD candidates.
The distinction matters. If you are applying to IFTM directly, you deal with the university's admission office and its own rounds. If you are also applying to AKTU affiliated colleges, you go through UPTAC separately. Applying to one does not cover the other.
For the 2026 session itself, the main counselling windows have closed and classes commenced in August 2026. Admission portals note that IFTM conducted spot admissions for remaining seats in September and October 2026. If you are reading this late in the year, do not assume a seat is available or closed: call the admission office and ask which branches still have seats, and get the answer in writing before you pay a fee.
Documents you will need
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- JEE Main scorecard or CUET UG scorecard, if you have one
- Transfer certificate and character certificate from your last school
- Domicile certificate, if you are claiming a UP state benefit
- Category certificate (SC, ST, OBC-NCL or EWS), if applicable
- Aadhaar card and recent passport size photographs
- Diploma mark sheets, if you are applying for lateral entry
How to apply, step by step
- Check the branch list and the fee structure on IFTM's official admission portal, and note the last date for the current round.
- Fill the application form online with your Class 12 PCM marks and your entrance exam details, if any.
- Upload the documents listed above and pay the application or processing fee through the official portal only.
- Track the merit list or counselling round for your branch, and respond within the window given for seat confirmation.
- Report to the campus with original documents for verification, and keep every fee receipt.
One practical warning: apply only through the university's official portal or its admission office. Admission season brings fake agents and lookalike websites that charge for forms the university gives away or charges far less for. If someone promises a guaranteed seat for an extra payment, walk away.
Scholarships worth checking
Two scholarship routes matter for IFTM applicants. The first is the UP government scholarship, which admission portals list for students whose parents' annual income is below Rs. 2 lakh, for General, OBC, SC and ST categories. Apply through the UP scholarship portal in the window the state announces, and do not depend on the college to file it for you. The second is merit based fee relief: admission portals list scholarships of 10 to 50 percent of tuition fees based on marks obtained. Ask the admission office whether the relief renews every year or applies only to the first year, because that difference is worth lakhs over four years.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not pick a branch only because a relative said it has scope. Scope changes every few years, and you will live with the subjects for four years. Do not judge a college by its highest package alone; ask for the median package and the percentage of the batch placed. Do not wait until the last day of a round to upload documents, because portals slow down and verification teams do not extend deadlines for individual applicants.
The bottom line
IFTM Moradabad's B.Tech case is straightforward: a four year degree, PCM eligibility at 45 percent (40 percent for SC and ST), a four year tuition and exam total of about Rs. 4,13,000, and admission through JEE Main, CUET UG or merit. The deciding factors are the branch you choose, whether your scholarship actually renews, and whether you use the four years for internships and skills, not just the degree. Confirm the current round and fee on the official portal, apply through official channels only, and keep every receipt.
