Tuition waivers by family income
- Family income below ₹1 lakh/year — full tuition-fee remission.
- Family income ₹1–5 lakh/year — two-thirds tuition-fee remission.
- SC / ST / PwD students — full exemption from tuition fees.
- Merit-cum-means scholarships and institute free-ships further reduce the burden for eligible students.
What varies between IITs
Tuition is identical everywhere, but hostel rent, mess charges and one-time fees differ — so the all-in figure ranges from about ₹10 lakh to ₹13 lakh across campuses. Older IITs and those in metros tend to sit at the higher end. Always check the exact fee notice of your allotted IIT rather than a generic figure.
How to fund it
IITs are on the [PM Vidyalaxmi](/finance/pm-vidyalaxmi-scheme) QHEI list, so a collateral-free loan (with a possible 3% interest subvention) covers the cost cleanly. Public banks also run premier-institute schemes at the lowest rates — see the interest-rate comparison — and the collateral-free rules usually apply in full. NITs are cheaper on tuition; compare with our NIT fees guide.
