New Institute of Technology Kolhapur B.Tech Fees 2026-27

At INR 3,19,319 for four years, B.Tech at NIT Kolhapur works out to roughly INR 79,830 per year across 8 semesters. The precise figure reflects the government-regulated fee structure applicable to private engineering colleges in Maharashtra, which is fixed by the Fee Regulating Authority (FRA). Admission is through MHT-CET (PCM), with the 2026 exam held from April 11 to 19, 2026, and results expected by June 16, 2026. JEE Main scores are also accepted during Maharashtra’s CAP counseling rounds.

Choosing between Additive Manufacturing, AI and Machine Learning, CSE, or Electrical and Power Engineering carries no financial difference — all four cost exactly the same INR 3,19,319 total.

B.Tech Lateral Entry Fees 2026-27

Diploma holders can enter the second year of B.Tech through Maharashtra’s lateral entry process at INR 2,42,046 for three years. This saves INR 77,273 compared to the four-year route and cuts one academic year. NIT Kolhapur offers lateral entry in Additive Manufacturing and Power Engineering. Seats are filled through Maharashtra’s LEET (Lateral Entry Engineering Test) and CAP counseling.

New Institute of Technology Kolhapur Diploma Fees 2026-27

Six Diploma programmes at the same fee across the board: INR 1,77,998 for three years, covering AI and Machine Learning, Automobile, Civil, Electrical, Electronics, and Mechanical Engineering. This uniformity mirrors the FRA-regulated structure, where polytechnic fees are set by the state authority rather than the individual institution. Diploma admission is through Maharashtra’s 10th-pass polytechnic entrance process, separate from MHT-CET.

For candidates already holding an ITI or 10+2 certificate in a relevant trade, lateral entry into the second year of a Diploma is available at INR 1,04,280 for two years — the most affordable option at the institute. All six Diploma streams have lateral entry variants at the same fee.
