Universal AI University B.Tech Fees 2026

B.Tech at Universal AI University is built around technology tracks that reflect the institution’s core identity. Three four-year programmes are available: AI and ML, Data Sciences, and Sound Engineering and Production. The first two share the same fee at INR 16.42 Lakhs for the complete programme. Sound Engineering comes in slightly higher at INR 17.62 Lakhs. Lateral-entry students joining the second year pay INR 15.44 Lakhs for the three-year programme, uniform across both the AI and ML and Data Science tracks. Admission to B.Tech is through JEE Main scores or the university’s direct admission process.

One fee comparison worth noting: the B.Tech plus MBA dual degree at INR 25.40 Lakhs bundles five years of engineering and management education at essentially the same price as a standalone two-year MBA at INR 25.46 Lakhs. Students who plan to pursue both qualifications save nearly the entire cost of a separate undergraduate programme by opting for the integrated path.

Universal AI University B.Tech Specializations and Fees

Universal AI University B.Des Fees 2026

At INR 20.42 Lakhs for four years, B.Des is priced identically across all eight specializations. Communication Design, Fashion Design, Game Design, Game Art and Design, Graphic Animation and VFX, Product Design, Strategic Design Management, and Transportation Design all carry the same fee. The specialization choice is purely academic, with no financial trade-off between tracks.

One unusual fact in the broader fee structure: B.Des at INR 20.42 Lakhs costs more than B.Tech in AI and ML or Data Sciences at INR 16.42 Lakhs. Design education at Universal AI University is positioned at a premium over the core engineering tracks — a relatively uncommon pricing structure.
