NIT Meghalaya B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total fee for the 4-year B.Tech CSE programme at NIT Meghalaya is INR 5,97,000, which includes tuition of INR 5,00,000, institute charges of INR 87,000, and a refundable caution deposit of INR 10,000. Hostel charges of INR 74,000 to INR 79,500 per year are charged separately and not included in this total. SC/ST/PH students receive a full tuition fee waiver under Ministry of Education norms.

Ans. B.Tech CSE is the most sought-after branch at NIT Meghalaya, and its JoSAA closing rank is typically the lowest (most competitive) among all branches at the institute. As a newer NIT in Northeast India, its CSE cutoff is generally more accessible than older NITs, making it an option for students with mid-to-good JEE Main ranks who miss CSE at higher-ranked NITs. Checking previous year JoSAA closing ranks on josaa.nic.in gives the most reliable estimate.
