UIIT Shimla B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to the college is determined by a 200-mark entrance exam focusing on physics, mathematics, English, and information technology, emphasizing higher secondary-level mathematics and physics. The application starts in April, with exams in June at centers in Chandigarh, Dharamshala, and Shimla. Admission decisions, based on exam scores and interviews, are followed by classes starting on July 1. The faculty includes permanent and guest members, with a faculty-to-student ratio of 20:1.

Regular classes require 75% attendance, and the computer science faculty is notably well-regarded. Though faculty performance is rated 6/10, with students relying on self-study, they remain approachable and supportive, especially in placements and scholarships. The annual fee ranges from 80,000 to 110,000 rupees, with semester fees recently increased to around 45,000 rupees. Scholarships, including full tuition waivers, are available for high achievers and certain categories. Despite complaints about fees being relatively high for a government institution, the fee structure is transparent and flexible.

The college boasts a strong placement record, with about 90% of students securing jobs annually. Salary packages average between 3.5 to 6.5 lakhs, with the highest reaching 25 lakhs. Companies like Wipro, TCS, Paytm, Amazon, and Mahindra Tech actively recruit on campus. Students are eligible for placements from the 7th semester, often sourcing internships independently. Scholarships for meritorious students and certain categories, such as single girl children and faculty children, are available, with coordination for bank loans.

Tuition fees total around 4.5 to 5 lakh INR for the complete course, with additional monthly expenses estimated at 8,500 INR. Despite high tuition, costs are reasonable compared to private colleges, and scholarships can be accessed through the National Scholarship Portal and private NGOs.
