Detailed Solution

The 4-year fees at IIT for a B.Tech program generally fall between ₹8 lakh to ₹10 lakh for General/OBC students, while SC/ST/PwD students pay significantly less due to tuition fee waivers.

When we calculate the full 4-year cost, we must add tuition fees, hostel charges, mess charges, and other miscellaneous costs. For instance, IIT Bombay charges around ₹9.5 lakh for four years, while IIT Delhi costs about ₹8.5 lakh. On average, students spend an additional ₹10,000 – ₹20,000 per year on books, travel, and personal expenses. Therefore, the real cost of studying in an IIT might go beyond the official numbers if personal expenses are considered.

However, compared to private engineering colleges, where fees can go up to ₹20 – ₹25 lakh for the same degree, IITs are relatively affordable. Moreover, the return on investment is excellent, as most IIT graduates secure high-paying jobs soon after completing their studies.
