IITK From Sparsh's Perspective

Dislikes

The Academic is very tough. You have to grind those 4 months real hard in order to get good grades

Fees and Financial Aid:

The Acedemic fees for per semester is 1lakh that makes up 2 lakhs per year for academic fees. And then there is Hostel fees which 30-40 thousand yearly but a little high as a fresher because we need to pay the security fees as well. And the student coming from SC/ST and PWD category has to pay 0 rupees as academic fees but hotel charges remain as usual for the students. Student with the Income certificate of less than 5 lakh we will the given 66 persent scholarship in the academic fees. The waster charges , development fees, lab fees are negligible.

Life At IITK

The year wise tuition fee is 118000 around something per semester, the hostel fee is 12000 per year and the mess fee depends on the student. For sc/st category students and parental income less than 6 lakh per year there is no tuition fee but other hostel and mess fee is charged.

The academics here may be tough but they are enjoyable. Professors are good and the cources here train you to be great. They are tough but relevant

The grading is harsh you have to work really hard to score.
