ICT Mumbai Courses and Fees: Programme Costs and What to Confirm

Choose the course before comparing the price

ICT Mumbai’s 2024–25 handbook groups programmes across chemical engineering, specialised B.Tech. branches, pharmacy and science. Its fee tables do not use one uniform rate for every student. They distinguish programme groups and study years, while hostel charges sit outside the academic schedule. A useful comparison therefore starts with the exact degree, branch, campus and entry year, then follows the matching fee row rather than comparing a single institute-wide headline.

The Mumbai undergraduate list includes B.Chem.Engg., B.Pharm. and seven B.Tech. specialisations: Dyestuff Technology; Fibres and Textiles Processing Technology; Food Engineering and Technology; Oils, Oleochemicals and Surfactants Technology; Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology; Polymer Engineering and Technology; and Surface Coating Technology. These are different curricula and the historical seat table assigns different capacities to them. Before comparing fees or cutoffs, make sure each alternative leads to the degree and technical area you actually want.

The available handbook is for 2024–25. The values below explain what that schedule recorded; they are not estimates for 2027–28. Use ICT’s current course notice and fee schedule before making a budget or paying an admission amount.

Undergraduate charges: the old table did not give an all-in total

In ICT’s 2024–25 undergraduate table, the library deposit was ₹5,000. Other fees were stated to follow Government regulations, while the total was to be declared in the admission notice. The handbook labelled the figures indicative and subject to change. That means the 2024–25 table itself is not a reliable total-cost quote, even for a historical comparison across courses.

For a current offer, ask for the complete year-wise schedule for your exact programme and category. Check tuition, university or examination charges, deposits, one-time items and payment dates separately. A refundable deposit should not be treated as a recurring annual fee, and a total that excludes hostel or mess cannot be compared with a residential-campus total. If the current notice still points to a later admission notice for the final amount, budget only from the later published schedule.

Postgraduate fees: programme groups and years differ

The 2024–25 handbook listed this first-year breakdown for the specified M.Chem.Engg., M.Tech., M.Pharm. and M.E. Plastic Engineering group:

TableCards

Component	2024–25 amount	Schedule note
Library deposit	₹5,000	One-time
Academic fees	₹45,000	First year
Other fees	₹42,000	Includes contingency
First-year total	₹92,000	Indicative schedule
Second-year fees	₹1,00,000	Separate year amount

The handbook said hostel fees would be charged separately for students who opted for accommodation. These figures apply to the named group and source year; they should not be transferred to every postgraduate programme or to a new intake.

The M.Sc. schedules were different:

TableCards

Programme group	One-time library deposit	First-year fees	Other first-year fees	First-year total	Second-year fees
Physics, Chemistry, Textile Chemistry	₹5,000	₹40,000	₹25,000	₹70,000	₹76,500
Mathematics	₹5,000	₹40,000	₹20,000	₹65,000	₹71,000

These are separate programme rows. Do not average them into a generic M.Sc. amount. The distinction matters when comparing a course with a different lab, department or fee structure, and when estimating the total across the full duration.

These are year-wise historical figures, not a guarantee that the same programme names, deposits or amounts apply to 2027–28. Check whether a current schedule has revised a component, whether it applies to the Mumbai campus and your student category, and whether a one-time charge is included in the displayed total. Save the schedule with its academic year so that a later portal page or payment demand can be checked against the right version.

Residence and other costs are separate questions

The handbook states that hostel fees are charged additionally when a candidate opts for hostel accommodation. It does not make the historic academic totals a complete residential budget. Ask the institute for the current hostel amount, mess charges, deposit and allotment rules. Confirm availability separately: an academic fee schedule cannot establish that a room will be offered to every student who wants one.

Also separate costs that are paid to different authorities. An entrance or counselling application fee, institute admission payment, hostel charge and later examination fee may have different deadlines and refund conditions. Build the budget from current notices for each stage and record whether the amount is refundable, one-time, annual, semester-based or optional. Do not add numbers from schedules with different years or fee periods into a single total.

Reimbursement and aid need current eligibility checks

The 2024–25 undergraduate fee table carried a note that fees for SC/ST/OBC/VJNT/SBC candidates were reimbursed by the Government of Maharashtra. That note is historical and does not establish current eligibility, the documents needed, the scheme used or when a reimbursement would reach a student. Check the current government scheme and ICT instructions for the exact category and course before deducting aid from a budget.

For postgraduate programmes, read fellowship terms separately from tuition. A test score or programme label alone does not prove that funding is available to every applicant. Confirm the current provider, number of awards, score or merit requirement, continuation conditions, payment period and whether the award can be combined with another scholarship. Treat an amount as confirmed only when the official current notice describes it for your programme and eligibility group.

A five-point fee check before accepting an offer

1. Match the schedule to the exact programme, campus, category and academic year.
2. Separate tuition from deposits, other mandatory charges, hostel and mess.
3. Add the correct year-wise payments across the normal course duration; do not multiply a first-year figure unless the notice says it repeats.
4. Verify any reimbursement or fellowship with its current eligibility and application instructions.
5. Read refund, withdrawal, late-payment and reporting rules before paying, and retain the schedule and receipt.

For ICT, the published 2024–25 schedules show why the exact row matters: the undergraduate total was left to a later notice, the listed postgraduate groups had different year-wise amounts, M.Sc. Mathematics differed from the other named M.Sc. courses, and hostel charges were additional. They offer historical structure, not today’s invoice. Use the latest official handbook and fee notice to establish your actual 2027–28 cost, then add residence and any independently verified aid on a matching time basis.
