CU Punjab M.Tech Computer Science & Technology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Central University of Punjab offers an M.Tech CST program, with a straightforward admission process via the CUCET exam. Faculty in the Computer Science and Technology department, including Dr. Amandeep Kaur and others, are appreciated as good teachers, though students often self-learn machine learning and AI due to rushed syllabi. The examination system is stress-free with a midterm and end-semester exam structure. Course fees are affordable, with initial tuition and hostel fees at Rs 15,900 and Rs 13,400 respectively, reducing to Rs 10,900 and Rs 8,400 from the second semester.

Monthly mess fees are about Rs 2,400. Placement opportunities are limited, requiring students to pursue off-campus options, although a placement cell helps with internships, especially in the 4th semester. Internships, mainly government projects, offer stipends ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 35,000. GATE-qualified students receive a monthly stipend of Rs 12,500. Admission fees initially are around Rs 17,000, reducing to approximately Rs 11,000 per semester subsequently, excluding hostel fees. General category students pay about Rs 30,000 per semester, while reserved categories pay less.

Scholarships like GATE and NSP, offering Rs 12,400 and Rs 12,500 monthly, along with state scholarships, help ease financial burdens.
