Fees and Financial Aid:

As per the IIT Council's decision to increase the fee for the academic programmes, IIT Madras has decided to increase the fees particularly to deter students who discontinue their courses mid-way. The IITM study costs comprise the tuition fee of ?3000 (for General students) and an exam fee of ?500 per semester. Many scholarship opportunities are available to students across various academic programmes, mostly for reserved category students. Some scholarships are given to the meritorious students (top 25 to 35%) of a class. The stipend for PhD students normally depend upon the fellowship. They range from ?80000/year for INSPIRE, ?75000/year on average for PMRF, ?31000/month for first 2 years with an annual contingent grant of ?20000, then ?35000/month for later years in JRF/SRF. Every year IITM has numerous students getting placed in top companies corresponding to the pharmaceutical, software and academic sectors, like Zydus-Cadila, Flipkart, Byju's and Trexquant to name a few.
