Real life experience from IITG student

Since I am from General ews I got a scholarship on an income base, The fee without any scholarship is 12 lakhs for 4 years and fee for me is 5.6 lakh. People from sc st category get many scholarships and girls generally get a good amount of scholarships. And talking of internships girls get more internship opportunities from 2nd year itself. Scholarships include Kotak, quadeye, etc.

IIT Guwahati College Review

College curriculum is tough and the grading is relatively tough in comparison to other iits.

So, per semester it goes to 130000 rs for a General category student breaking it to 100000rs tuition fee and hostel fees around 30000 in which mess charge of 18000 is included and rest 12000 hostel rent including room charge, electricity and etc. For SC, ST students there is 100% tuition fee waiver. For Gen Ews if annual income is below 100000rs there is 100% tuition fee waiver and if below 500000 then 2/3 tuition if waived off. In campus we have MCM scholarship - Merit-cum-Means scholarship for financial assistance. I your department rank is 1 you get scholarship.
