Detailed Solution

The fee structure of IITs generally ranges between ₹8 – ₹10 lakh for the full 4-year B.Tech program, including tuition, hostel, and mess charges for General/OBC students, while SC/ST/PwD students get tuition fee waivers.

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have a structured fee pattern that includes tuition fees, hostel charges, mess fees, and other one-time deposits. The tuition fees are usually the largest part, averaging ₹2 – ₹3 lakh per year. Hostel and mess charges vary between ₹50,000 – ₹1,00,000 per year depending on the IIT campus.

Apart from this, there are minor charges for registration, library, lab usage, and medical facilities. The fee structure is updated regularly by the IIT Council, so students are advised to check the official website of the respective IIT before admission.

Understanding the IIT fee structure is important because it helps in financial planning, applying for scholarships, and avoiding last-minute surprises. Students from economically weaker sections can apply for waivers or government-backed education loans to make the process easier.

IIT Campus	Tuition Fee (per year)	Hostel & Mess (per year)	Total (4 years)
