I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKG-PTU) Courses & Fee Structure

Check which campus and programme the fee belongs to

I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University has a main campus and constituent campuses, while its website also serves affiliated and autonomous institutes. A fee shown on one campus page is not a university-wide price. The clearest itemised schedule in this review is the official Mohali Campus II fee page. It lists B.Architecture and BCA charges for that campus; it should not be applied to similarly named programmes at Kapurthala, Mohali Campus I, or an affiliated college. Use the university’s 2026-27 campus programme directory to confirm the location first, then check that campus’s fee page and the exact course row.

This distinction matters when comparing offers. A campus, programme mode, entry route or academic session can change both the course and the applicable charge. The schedule below is a 2026-27 reference captured from Mohali Campus II. The page does not establish that the same amounts apply to the 2027-28 intake, and it does not provide one all-in cost for every IKGPTU programme.

Mohali Campus II: B.Architecture and BCA semester charges

The Mohali Campus II schedule lists B.Architecture at ₹68,900 for semester one and ₹57,300 for semesters two through ten, each per semester. BCA is listed at ₹41,400 for semester one and ₹29,800 for semesters two through six. These are the page’s total fee figures for the named semesters. B.Architecture is shown as a ten-semester programme and BCA as six semesters, but do not multiply a semester amount into a guaranteed full-course bill: the schedule may be revised, and a student’s payable total depends on the applicable session and the exact components charged.

The BCA first-semester component table lists tuition ₹15,500, development fund ₹5,000, student-related fund ₹4,700, university-related fee ₹1,600, examination fee ₹3,000, other fee ₹1,600, refundable security ₹8,000 and admission processing/counselling fee ₹2,000. That breakdown explains why the first semester is higher than the recurring ₹29,800 shown for semesters two through six. Confirm how the refundable security is returned and whether the processing or counselling fee applies to your admission route. Do not treat the total as tuition alone.

The B.Architecture row lists the semester totals and a refundable security, but the available page extraction does not give a sufficiently clear component breakdown for every item. Use its official fee schedule directly and confirm the current payable amount with the campus before making a deposit. The page’s exact campus scope is Mohali Campus II; it does not establish fees for the same degree elsewhere.

Build a budget from the current course row

For a useful comparison, separate tuition from recurring university, student, development and examination charges. Then identify one-time admission or counselling charges, refundable deposits, and costs outside the semester schedule such as hostel and mess. The listed BCA security is explicitly described as refundable, so it should be tracked separately from non-refundable academic charges. Ask when it is returned and what conditions apply. Check whether an advertised first-semester total includes the same components as the recurring-semester figure at another institution. Comparing tuition-only at one place with a component-inclusive total at another can make the cheaper option appear more expensive or the reverse.

The university’s central 2026-27 schedule is amended by later notices, including an October 2026 amendment for BHMCT lateral entry. That amendment is a reminder to check the latest course-specific notice, but it does not apply to B.Architecture or BCA just because those programmes appear on the same campus fee page. The university’s session fee notice index and the relevant campus page should be read together when they cover the same course. If rows conflict, ask the campus accounts or admissions office which later notice governs your course and session.

When you ask for a revised quote, request the semester-by-semester schedule rather than a single headline amount. Check whether a stated “first semester” total includes the admission-processing charge, refundable security and examination fee, and whether later semesters exclude those one-time items. Ask the office to identify any fee notification that supersedes the page and the date from which it applies. Keep the written response with the prospectus or offer so that the campus, academic year and programme are all identifiable.

For BCA, the listed recurring amount is ₹29,800 per semester after the first-semester total of ₹41,400. The ₹11,600 difference corresponds to charges present in the first-semester row that are not included in the later-semester total, including the ₹8,000 security and ₹2,000 processing/counselling line. Treat this as a comparison of the displayed table rows, not a guarantee that the security will be refunded in every circumstance. Ask for the refund conditions and actual refund timeline. This small check helps separate repeatable academic charges from the cash required at admission.

What to confirm for the 2027-28 intake

The official amounts above are labelled 2026-27. The material reviewed does not establish Mohali Campus II’s 2027-28 fee schedule, a current fee deadline, or a complete hostel and mess price. Do not carry the previous semester totals forward as a quote. Before accepting an offer, request the current schedule for your exact programme and year of study, ask which charges repeat each semester, and confirm deposits, examination fees and any course-specific additions in writing.

Also confirm the teaching campus, programme duration, mode and entry route. If you are comparing a constituent campus with an affiliated institute, obtain the latter’s own fee notice; the university’s campus schedule does not set every affiliate’s charges. For accommodation, use the relevant campus office rather than assuming that main-campus hostel information applies at Mohali. Keep the dated fee notice with your budget so that any later revision is visible, and recheck the official campus page before making payment. This keeps the comparison tied to an actual session and location instead of a generic IKGPTU figure.
