Personal Experience at IIT Guwahati

Dislikes

Exams are quite often here , which makes the academic hectic and time consuming.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Per sem tution fee is 100000, and hostel fee per sem is 43200(including all extra charges like medical fee, fest fund). So this makes the tution fee per year as 200000, and hostel fee as 86400(including all extra charges). Scholarships : For annual family income less than 100000, there is no tution fee charged. Also if it is between 100000 and 500000, then 66% is wavied, i.e only 33333 per sem tution fee is charged. There are other scholarships like mcm , ncp etc.

IIT GUWAHATI -THE NATURAL BEAUTY

The fee structure is 1 lakh per semester. They provide various waivers for economically weaker sections of people. They give MEB / OEB to the students which benefits students greatly. They provide stipends for MTech and PhD students. BTech students have various opportunities in different fields like finance, tech, sports, management, consultancy, etc. BTech students can explore themselves in all these fields.

"IIT Guwahati": The dream of a million

Student Snaps:

The overall fee for a general candidate is approximately 11 lakhs for a btech programme. Huge fee waivers are available for reserved caste students. Campus jobs are limited but you can earn through internships that come in 2nd year, and majorly in 3rd year. I have got no job as of now.
