Review of Dr. BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar

Year-wise fees for btech students depends on their income status and caste. For Sc, St students there is no tuition fee but they must pay 92000 per year as compulsary charges to avail facilities offered by institute. For other castes, it depends on yearly family income. For annual income greater than 8 lakh : 126000 yearly tuition fees For greater than 1 lakh but less than 5 lakh : 42000 tuition fee per year For less than 1 lakh : no tuition fee. Note that compulsary charges of 92000 per year are in addition to tuition fee for everyone. There is no official scholarship offered by institute on basis of merit but most of students apply for external scholarship sources.

I didn't had any scholarship for the course. Although scholarships come every year or semester but they are for SC/ST candidates. Also i am studying from Education loan from canara bank. So scholarships are not for student's who availed loan. I got the whole course fee included in the loan + laptop For me, the course i think is affordable as it is based according to your family income.

There is importance for extracurricular activities, even we have credits for that.

There are many assignments and projects and quizzes, so you wil be struggling for other skills . You'll have to manage your time well for that

My fees is 110000 rupees per year because I'm obc student and my income is below 1 lakh, so i don't need to pay tution fees. SC/ST students also dont need to pay their tution fees. Those who have income between 1 and 5 lakh need to pay 1/3 of the tution fees and above 5 lakh they have to pay full tution fees. There is no management quota here as it is a NIT. But there is DASA quota which is for foreign students who have to pay higher fees comparatively. I haven't opted any scholarship.
