All B.Tech branches (CSE, Mechanical, Civil, EEE, ECE, Chemical, Biotechnology, Engineering Physics, Production, Materials Science, Energy Engineering) have the same fee structure as above for Indian students.
Due to the centralised admissions process via JoSAA, the most important consideration for a native OBC (Other Backwards Classes) student applying to NIT Calicut for admission to the B.Tech CSE programme in 2025 is their JEE Main rank rather than their academic % need.
