Indicative total for 4-year B.Tech

Typical, indicative figures by institute type — not the exact fee of any one institute. Verify the current fee on the official institute website.
The headline fee of an institute is rarely what a family actually pays. This calculator gives an indicative four-year B.Tech cost by institute type, applying the income-based fee waiver for IITs and NITs and the SC/ST/PwD tuition exemption across types. It uses typical figures — not the exact fee of any single institute — so treat the result as a planning estimate and confirm precise numbers officially.
How to Use It
- Choose the institute type — and for IIITs, whether it is government-funded or PPP.
- Select your category and family income band.
- Tick whether you will stay in the hostel.
- Click Estimate My Cost for an indicative annual and four-year breakdown.
Why These Are Indicative Figures
Fees differ from institute to institute even within the same type, and they are revised periodically. A calculator that claimed an exact figure for every institute would be misleading. Instead, this tool uses representative figures for each type and applies the waiver rules that genuinely are standardised — giving you a realistic ballpark. For the exact, current fee, the only reliable source is the official fee page of the specific institute. The detailed structure is explained in the IIT fees, NIT fees and IIIT fees guides.

No. It uses typical, indicative figures by institute type, not the exact fee of any one institute. Fees vary and are revised periodically — confirm the precise current fee on the institute’s official website.
