What is the total cost for B.Tech Material Science Engineering in IIT Delhi??

I can share the current fee structure at IIT Delhi. Tuition fees at other IITs may vary by around 20% and mess fees by 50% compared to IIT Delhi.

Total expenses (excluding pocket money, of course) depend on your parents' annual income and your category.

• 1. If you belong to the general or OBC category and your parents' annual income is greater than 5L per annum, you will pay around 105k per semester as tuition fee and 15k as mess fee. So, total expenses are around 240k per year.
• 2. If you belong to the general or OBC category, but your parents' income is less than 5L per annum and your CGPA and last semester's SGPA are greater than 6.0 (which are quite easy to achieve), your tuition fee will be refunded. In this case, you will only need to pay the mess fee (15k per semester), totaling just 30k per year.
• 3. If you belong to SC/ST, both your tuition fee and mess fee are waived, meaning you don't have to pay anything!

Additionally, there are various donor scholarships available for students.

If you're looking at pursuing B.Tech in Material Science Engineering at IIT Delhi, be ready for a total expenditure of approximately 13 lakh over four years. The tuition itself is around 1 lakh per semester, and with hostel and mess fees, it can add up quite a bit. For SC/ST students, the fees are reduced by about 50%, which is a great support for many. The experience and opportunities at IIT Delhi make it a valuable journey!

This was the Semester 1 breakdown of fees for UG Students who took admission in 2023–24:

While this includes adjustments for JOSAA counseling fees and some one-time security deposits, it excludes mess charges. The breakdown for the second semester was as follows (General/OBC with Annual Family income > ? 5 Lakh):

• ? 1,05,750 for Tuition & Exams
• ? 26,800 for Mess
• ? 13,250 for Hostel accommodation

This brings the grand total to ? 1,45,800!

The biggest chunk of fees, of course, is the tuition fee (as shown above).

(I’m not even sure what the Student Distress Fund Scheme is or that it even exists!)

Additionally, there are multiple scholarship opportunities that arise once you are at IIT Delhi, which is a topic that deserves a separate post.
