NIT KURUKSHETRA: An Honest Review

For students with an annual income of more than Rs.5 lakh,the tution fee per semester is approx Rs.92,000 making it Rs. 1,84,000 per year .Additionally,mess and hostel charges amount to approximately Rs. 40,000 per year. To support students financially, several schlorships are available at NIT KKR:- 1)MERIT-CUM-MEANS(MCM) schlorship 2)Post-Matric Scholarship Many other too as NITK ALUMNI schlorship and national schlorship portal. I would suggest you to apply in off campus schlorships too. Many of my friends taking benefit of those schlorships such as FFE ,amazon schlorship and many other which provide around 50,000 to 1,00,000 per semester as a financial help.

The total course fee is about 100000 but concession is there based on family income. If family income is below 1 lakh their will be no tution fee and total course fee become around 3 lakh. If family income is between 1 to 5 lakh tution fee will be half i.e. 40000 and course fee become around 5 lakhs including mess fee. Mess fee is chargeable for all that is around 35000 per semester. Other charges like examination fee library fee are covered in tution fees they are like aroung 5-6k per semester. Merit based scholarships like RECK scholarships are also given to topper of every branch every year by alumni association.

Tuition fee and hostel fees is included in Tuition fee only which is around 78000 for a semester for a general candidate without any income quota. But based on income quota accordingly it gets reduced to 7000-8000 per semester. Additional mess bill has to be paid according to their diets which is around 30000 per semester.
