MIIT offers admissions to various programmes to applicants solely on the basis of merit. One of the elements considered for admission is the academic performance of the applicant in the qualifying educational programme/qualifying exam. For admission to the bachelor’s degree programmes, it is the marks obtained in the qualifying examination, that is, the Matriculation Exam of Myanmar. For admission to the master’s degree programmes, the applicant’s academic performance in the corresponding bachelor’s degree programme will be one of the elements that are considered.


=== Input Qualifications ===
In addition, applicants have to appear in an entrance examination. A weighted average of the applicant’s performance in the qualifying examination and the entrance examination (conducted by MIIT) is used to create a merit list. This merit list is used to finalise the admissions.
Applicants must have passed the Matriculation Exam of Myanmar in the year of admission, with mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English as the subjects.<ref name=BDP/>

MIIT currently offers admissions to applicants to the following programmes:

* Bachelor’s degree programmes in Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics & Communications Engineering, that is, B.E. (Hons.) in CSE and ECE

== Fees and Scholarships ==

=== Bachelor’s Degree Programmes ===
Currently, MIIT charges tuition fees consistent with the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The tuition fees charged for the bachelor’s degree programmes is approximately 25,000 MMK per semester. There are no other specific, academic fees charged.

The present tuition fee is at fairly affordable levels, and there have not been any requests for scholarships to cover the tuition fee. However, students of the bachelor’s degree programmes have to stay off-campus in Mandalay during the academic year. Extremely needy students can apply for a maintenance support scholarship. This scholarship is offered by the [[International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore]] (IIIT-B), the mentor institution of MIIT. It is considered only for meritorious students who have documented evidence of financial distress in the family.

=== Postgraduate Diplomas ===

The tuition fee for the entire postgraduate diploma programme offered by MIIT is 500,000 MMK.

Extremely meritorious students hailing from poor families can apply for a scholarship offered by the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIIT-B), the mentor institution of MIIT. The scholarship amount may cover the entire tuition fee, or only a part of it.

Several faculty members from other Computer Universities and Technological Universities of Myanmar also seek admission to the programme in order to strengthen their subject-matter expertise. As part of the faculty development initiatives at MIIT, jointly organised with IIIT-B, scholarships to cover the tuition fee are usually provided to selected candidates.
