And also there is a fee concession for reserve categories such that for SC, ST ,PWD and students with family income less than 1,00,000 per year has not to pay any tuition fees and only have to pay the hostel and mess charges. And for families which have an income of 1 to 5 lakh per year the tuition fees is reduced by 2/3 and has to pay only the 1/3 tuition fee. Now for the fee structure trend the tuition fee are increasing steadily over recent years and also further hikes are possible. So the money needed for the completion of four year B tech in EC branch is approximately 8 to 10 lakhs for general category. Now the scholarship and the financial aid includes Merit cum means, central and state scholarships, Institute scholarships and other scholarships like by private players example Aditya Birla, ONGC, Tata etc. So on conclusion the hostel and mess fees are compulsory for all students and the fee structure may vary by year or Batch by the central government guidelines and the institute policies.

In first year, I paid around 1.5 Lakhs. The tuition fees is around 65000. There is also caution fees and various other fees for many categories. There are fee waivers for students belonging to categories and also for students having annual income less than 1L or between 1L to 5L. Till now, I am not aware of any scholarship provided directly by the institute.
