IIT KGP is a Talisman!!

Student Snaps:

Fees and Financial Aid:

IIT KGP is the onlh college that has these many branches. Jharkhand anr Orissa are mining states of India and therefore strategically too IIT Kgp becomes an out and out choice. The feed is 3.5 lakhs a year and even the lower caste students gets just 20% scholarships. Merit and sports based scholarships are also there and that again is something which is something not meant for average students like me.

Review by IITian - Anshu Kumar

Generally, the tuition fee is about 100k per semester and if we include hostel and mess fees then it will go upto 150 k per semester. Everyone can not pay the full amount if one's family annual income is less than 100k then they have to pay only hostel and mess few i.e 50k per semester and if it is between 100k and 500k then they have to pay 1/3rd of the total fee and if it is above 500k then they have to pay the whole of the fee.
