Truth about NIT Raipur

Student Snaps:

Fees and Financial Aid:

NIT Raipur B.Tech Fee Structure (2024-25) The total fee for the first semester is Rs. 1,07,800. This includes a tuition fee of Rs. 62,500, admission fees of Rs. 20,000, and other charges such as a caution money deposit (refundable) of Rs. 10,000. For subsequent semesters, the tuition fee remains Rs. 62,500, but the total payable amount decreases as the one-time charges are no longer applicable. The total fees per semester are: First Sem: Rs. 1,07,800 Second Sem: Rs. 70,300 Third Sem: Rs. 68,930 Fourth Sem: Rs. 68,390 Fifth Sem: Rs. 68,540 Sixth Sem: Rs. 68,000 Seventh Sem: Rs. 68,170 Eighth Sem: Rs. 67,630 The image also notes that students whose parents' income is below Rs. 1 lakh per annum are exempt from tuition fees. Those with an income between Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 5 lakh are required to pay a tuition fee of Rs. 20,833 per semester. It appears the tuition fees remain constant over the four years of the program. And same goes for sc / st they are also exempt from tution fees. Like ews students have to pay 60000 each year similarly , 1 lakh to 5 lakh regime peoples have to pay 17000 per year , sc/st student also have to pay 7200 per year . There are mainly scholarship but I am aware with 2 of them only one is provided by ONGC for the OBC students based on merits , and one is by state government.

College rules

Yearly I pay nearly 1.4 lakhs while some other caste students have to pay only 20 thousand for 1 year.... which is very unfair and it is government college still these is the condition . College should change the scheme and equal the value of fees for every one

College is on the costlier side if you see the facilities they provide

The year-wise fees you pay for btech is 71k per semester for first two semester and then nearly 66k for the rest 6 semester but if you are from St/sc category then your tution fees is reduced to zero and the fees you paid during admission will be refunded to your account

The tution fee varies from student to student based on their category and income. For OBC-NCL(Non creamy layer) students fee waiver will be applied. For SC,ST students ,even though their income is more than 1 lakh fee waiver is applied. For general category students if their income is less than 1 lakh they will avail fee waiver,and for income more than 1 lakh they havbe to pay the fee(around 63k per semester). Students can apply for scholarships like Reliance scholarships,Foundation for excellence etc.Or you can visit globalscholarship.org for info regarding the available scholarships.
