Fee Overview
KIIT University follows a semester-wise fee structure. Fees vary by program, branch, and hostel type. The total annual cost for a B.Tech student (including hostel and mess) typically ranges from INR 3.5 to 5.5 lakhs depending on your choices.
Fees are paid semester-wise (twice a year). The admission portal generates fee challans with exact amounts for each student.
Good to know
Fee amounts are approximate and subject to annual revision. Always check the official admission portal for current year exact figures.
Tuition Fees by Program

|---|---|

Total Annual Cost Estimate
Here's a rough breakdown for a B.Tech (CSE) student in a double-sharing AC room:
| Component | Amount (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Tuition Fee | INR 3,00,000 |
| Hostel (Double AC) | INR 1,00,000 |
| Mess (Veg) | INR 50,000 |
| Miscellaneous | INR 20,000 |
| Total Annual | INR 4,70,000 |
For 4 years, the total comes to approximately INR 18-20 lakhs (including one-time fees). This is competitive for a private university of KIIT's ranking.
