Fees and Financial Aid:

Fees in the IIT Madras BS program do not stay the same every year because the program runs term-wise. The main payment happens when courses are registered in a term, so the yearly total depends on how many courses are taken that year. If more courses are taken to finish faster, that year’s fee becomes higher. If fewer courses are taken due to time or other commitments, the yearly fee becomes lower, but the degree takes longer. For overall fees by goal: Foundation Only is ?48,000; Foundation + One Diploma is ?1,29,000; Foundation + Two Diplomas is ?2,10,000. The BSc Degree total is around ?2,86,000–?3,10,000 and the BS Degree total is around ?3,86,000–?4,50,000. There is also a one-time registration fee of ?3,000. Batchmates in other categories also don’t pay one fixed amount. After the qualifier, fee waivers can apply to any category based on family income and documents, so eligible students pay less. In general, income above 5 LPA usually means no support for General/OBC, while SC/ST and PwD may still get ~50% (SC/ST+PwD up to ~75%). For 1–5 LPA, support is often ~50%, and for 1 LPA or below, it is commonly ~75%.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Year-wise fees are not fixed like a normal college because the IIT Madras BS program works term-wise. The payment happens mainly at the time of course registration in each term, so the total fee for a year depends on how many courses are taken in that year. In a year where more courses are taken to finish faster, the total fee for that year becomes higher. In a year where fewer courses are taken due to time, exams, or personal schedule, the total fee stays lower, but the degree timeline becomes longer. So it is best to state year-wise fees as “this is the amount based on that year’s course load,” instead of one fixed number that fits everyone. Goal Total Fees INR Foundation Only ?48,000 Foundation + One Diploma ?1,29,000 Foundation + Two Diplomas ?2,10,000 BSc Degree ?2,86,000 - ?3,10,000 BS Degree ?3,86,000 - ?4,50,000 Registration fee is ?3000 Batchmates from other categories do not pay one fixed amount. After the qualifier, fee waivers can apply to any category based on family income, so eligible students pay less. That’s why even two students in the same batch or same category can end up paying different totals, depending on waiver approval and how many courses they take each term. In IIT Madras BS, what students finally pay depends more on need-based fee waivers (income proof + documents) than on the category name. So most financial aid is basically a verified fee waiver that reduces the payable course fees. In IIT Madras BS, the final amount usually depends more on need-based fee support than just the category tag. In general, if family income is above 5 LPA,General/OBC students don’t get support,while SC/ST and PwD students can still get support around 50%,and SC/ST+PwD can go up to about 75%.If income is between 1–5 LPA,many students across categories get around 50% support after submitting the right certificates.If income is 1 LPA or below,support is commonly around 75%.
