IITM- How the top institute in NIRF really is.

Fees get hiked almost every year, but the cost is affordable and better than other IITs, even being in the centre of a metropolitan city. In phd, you will get a stipend of 37k per month as jrf and 42k as srf (after 2 years). If you are getting pmrf, it will be get doubled. Additionally, you can take HRA of 27% if you stay outside. The fees you need to pay is around 30k per year as college fee and 60k per year for hostel fee or 10k per year as hostel fee if you are a non-hosteller, which includes medical facilities and establishment fees etc.
