Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (BIT)

Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (BIT) offers four-year B.E. and B.Tech programmes, two-year M.E. and M.Tech programmes, and a two-year MBA programme. Because the institute operates as an autonomous, self-financing institution affiliated with Anna University, admission routes and fee structures differ significantly depending on whether a candidate secures a seat through the Tamil Nadu state counselling processes or via the management quota.

Detailed tuition and hostel fee schedules are not publicly consolidated on the official site, varying instead by admission quota. The following fee ranges are drawn from government fee fixation norms and independent reporting. Applicants must note that the tuition fees listed below do not include optional hostel accommodation, mess charges, or one-time deposits.

Undergraduate Programmes (B.E. / B.Tech)

BIT provides 22 undergraduate engineering disciplines, divided between traditional B.E. degrees and specialised B.Tech degrees.

Eligibility: Candidates must have passed the 10+2 (HSC) examination with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry (or a relevant vocational subject). The minimum aggregate requirement is 45 percent for the General category and 40 percent for reserved categories (BC, BCM, MBC, DNC, SC, SCA, ST).

Entry Routes:

• Government Quota: Seats are allocated through Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling based on 10+2 marks.
• Management Quota: Seats are allocated directly by the institute based on merit.

Fee Context: Under the TNEA government quota, the annual tuition fee is universally set at Rs 75,000 across all B.E. and B.Tech programmes. For candidates applying through the management quota, tuition fees are unregulated by the state counselling authority and typically range between Rs 1,00,000 and Rs 2,00,000 or more per year, with high-demand branches like Computer Science and Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Information Technology falling at the upper end of that spectrum.

Postgraduate Engineering Programmes (M.E. / M.Tech)

BIT offers two-year postgraduate degrees aimed at technical specialisation.

Eligibility: A recognised B.E. or B.Tech degree in a relevant field with a minimum of 50 percent aggregate (45 percent for reserved categories).

Available Programmes:

• M.Tech Biotechnology
• M.E. Communication Systems
• M.E. Computer Science and Engineering
• M.E. Embedded Systems
• M.E. Industrial Safety Engineering
• M.E. VLSI Design

Fee Context: Government quota tuition fees for M.E. and M.Tech programmes are typically aligned with state norms (approximately Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 per year), whereas management quota seats carry higher tuition fees determined by the institute.

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

The two-year MBA programme focuses on management principles and business administration.

Eligibility: A recognised Bachelor degree of a minimum three years duration with at least 50 percent marks (45 percent for reserved categories).

Entry Routes: Government quota seats require a valid TANCET score and are allotted through Tamil Nadu MBA counselling. Management quota admissions also use TANCET, MAT, or other recognised management entrance exams.

Fee Context: For candidates admitted through the state government quota, the annual tuition fee is approximately Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000. Management quota fees are higher and should be confirmed directly with the admissions office.
