Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST) Shibpur Courses & Fee Structure

What the latest official fee schedule covers

IIEST Shibpur’s latest opened fee schedule for new undergraduate entrants applies to academic year 2025-26. The institute’s revised Board of Governors schedule covers a four-year B.Tech. degree and separates one-time charges, annual Monsoon-semester charges, other semester charges, tuition, hostel seat rent and mess dues. It is a dated reference for planning, not a confirmed 2027-28 quotation: the institute says fees may be revised, and the current notice pages reviewed for this update did not publish a new B.Tech entrant schedule for 2026-27 or 2027-28. Check the current academic order before paying or budgeting for a future intake.

The first-semester amount depends on fee category and accommodation. The schedule’s “total fee payable” combines the institute charges shown in the table; hostel mess charges are listed separately. For B.Tech students admitted in 2025-26, the first-semester day-scholar totals were ₹96,600 for the Gen/OBC/EWS income-above-₹5-lakh column, ₹54,933 for the ₹1-lakh-to-₹5-lakh column, and ₹34,100 for the under-₹1-lakh column and the SC/ST/PwD column. The first-semester hostel totals in the same columns were ₹1,06,600, ₹64,933 and ₹44,100. Do not compare those category totals without noting that the amounts reflect different tuition treatment, one-time charges and, for hostel totals, the hostel seat rent.

Tuition, semester charges and hostel costs

The AY 2025-26 B.Tech schedule shows why a headline “annual fee” can mislead. For the Gen/OBC/EWS column above ₹5 lakh family income, tuition is ₹62,500 each semester. One-time charges total ₹15,000 and include ₹6,000 refundable institutional caution money. Annual charges total ₹7,600 and are payable in each Monsoon semester. Other semester charges total ₹11,500. Adding these components gives the institute’s first-semester day-scholar payable amount of ₹96,600: ₹15,000 + ₹7,600 + ₹11,500 + ₹62,500. The hostel-seat rent adds ₹10,000 per semester, so the first-semester institute total with hostel is ₹1,06,600 before hostel mess dues.

Later semester bills differ because one-time and annual charges do not recur on the same basis. In the 2025-26 schedule, the high-income day-scholar total for a Winter semester (other semester charges plus tuition) is ₹74,000; a subsequent Monsoon semester adds the ₹7,600 annual charge and totals ₹81,600. Adding ₹10,000 hostel seat rent gives ₹84,000 for Winter and ₹91,600 for subsequent Monsoon before mess charges. These are the schedule’s charges for the stated student category and year, not a forecast for 2027-28.

For hostellers, the same 2025-26 schedule separately lists ₹27,700 in semester mess charges: ₹6,000 establishment fee, ₹1,700 entrance fee and a ₹20,000 food advance. The food amount is adjustable against actual bills; excess is to be refunded or adjusted after semester close, and extra bills may be payable. A separate one-time refundable mess caution money of ₹1,000 is due at hostel allotment. A single room, if allotted, carries an additional ₹1,000 per semester. The institute states that its fee amounts are subject to revision; the mediclaim premium may also vary year to year.

Income bands and tuition-waiver limits

The schedule’s tuition columns vary by student category and income band. For B.Tech entrants in 2025-26, the listed semester tuition is ₹62,500 for Gen/OBC/EWS candidates with annual income above ₹5 lakh; ₹20,833 for the column with income from ₹1 lakh through ₹5 lakh; and zero for the under-₹1-lakh and SC/ST/PwD columns. The schedule lists full semester totals that already combine tuition with its one-time, annual, other-semester and, for hostellers, hostel-seat-rent components. A zero-tuition column therefore does not mean every fee is zero.

IIEST also issued a first-year UG tuition-waiver notice for students admitted in 2025-26. It invited B.Tech/B.Arch students outside SC/ST/PH categories to apply for full or partial waiver based on family income in Financial Year 2024-25, with the certificate period and submission deadline specified in that notice. A January 2026 follow-up confirms that the institute approved full waivers for 207 students and two-thirds waivers for 106 first-year UG students in AY 2025-26. This shows that waiver treatment was verified and applied through a separate institutional process; the published fee table alone is not an application approval. These thresholds, forms, exceptions and dates belong to the 2025-26 cohort and should not be carried forward to 2027-28 without a new notice.

Applicants should budget using the amount shown for their own category, the actual semester, and their accommodation status. Keep the income certificate and category documents required by the active notice, and check whether the current cycle asks for a separate waiver application. Do not assume that a prior-year certificate, a general scholarship listing, or an automatically displayed estimate will satisfy the institute’s current process.

How to plan and what remains unknown

Before comparing costs with another institute, separate tuition from institute charges, hostel rent and mess advances. IIEST’s 2025-26 sheet states that the ₹20,000 mess food fee is an advance reconciled to actual mess bills; it is not described as a fixed food cost. It also distinguishes refundable institutional caution money and mess caution money from non-refundable charges. A first-semester amount is therefore not a recurring semester amount, while a hostel amount without the separately listed mess charges understates the cash required for a hosteller.

A useful planning worksheet is: identify the correct programme and admission year; select the income/category column supported by current documentation; determine day-scholar or hostel status; separate first semester from later Winter and Monsoon semesters; then add the current mess dues and any stated refundable deposits. For the 2025-26 general high-income B.Tech example, the first-semester hosteller paid ₹1,06,600 under the “total fee payable” row before separate mess charges. Adding the listed ₹27,700 mess charge and ₹1,000 mess caution money produces ₹1,35,300 at entry, consistent with the institute’s 2025-26 UG reporting guide. This calculation is a reconciliation of two official tables for that year, not a current fee quote.

The fee schedule also includes international categories with amounts in US dollars; those are not included in the domestic totals above. Its currency note says dollar amounts are converted using the RBI rate on the transfer date. If you apply through an international route, use the exact route, accommodation and currency column in the current schedule rather than the domestic example.

As of 1 November 2026, no official B.Tech fee schedule for newly admitted 2027-28 students was found in the sources checked. Use IIEST’s latest Academic fee order and admission instructions when they are issued. Until then, 2025-26 figures are historical comparison points only, and the 2027-28 amount remains unconfirmed.
