Why IIT Kharagpur is the best IIT?

The tution fee for one semester is 1 lakh rupees which makes 2 lakh rupees yearly and hostel and mess fees are separate. But for economically weaker students there is concession in fees. If student's annual family income is between 1 lakh to 5 lakh then the fee for him/ her will 33% of original fees which 33k per semester. If a student's family income is below 1 lakh then 100% fees are deducted from original.

The College Journey

As, i am a B.Tech student, the fees of the college 1.3L/ sem is not very affordable for a middle class family. But the thing is, one can get various scholarships to aid his/her fees which makes it possible for anyone clearing JEE advanced to join an IIT

The tuition fees is one lakh per semester and that could be very expensive for students because most of us are from rural backgrounds and can't afford so much honestly. Scholarship makes it's good but everyone doesn't get the scholarship

Exam culture is too hectic which creates stress

Fees structure depends on things provided like hostel,mess,tuition fees,etc. For a four year course, the fees sums up to around 12 lakhs.Semester Fees are to be paid at the beginning of each semester.

The fees structure. The hostel food (not bad but boring)

Because this institute is under National importance of institute there is some fee waiver based on income. But although this fee has so high for all students. Likely for study for 1 year without waiver students need to pay nearly 4 lakh. So it's to costly on my view. And I didn't do any job and get any job opportunities till now so I don't know. But yes I sure there will be good opportunity.

The course is quite heavy for students. Due to which it gives very stress to students.

Fees structure for students vary according to their category. For general students whose parents income is above 5 lakh per annum is 1.5 lakh per semester including tution fee and hostel fees and students whose parents income is less than 5 lakh per annum has to give approx 80000 per semester. Tution fees is nil for SC/ST students and students whose parents income is less than 5 lakh per annum. There is no stipend for Btech students. There are so many scholarship programs you can apply for.
