IIIT Hyderabad Courses & Fee Structure

At a glance Verify programme details on the official academic-programmes page.

IIIT Hyderabad’s current academic-programmes page lists four-year B.Tech degrees in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), alongside research-oriented postgraduate degrees. Its dual-degree routes pair a B.Tech with an MS by Research, normally over five years and ending with a thesis. The 2026-27 fee notices indexed for incoming undergraduate students state tuition of ₹5,00,000 per year for both single- and dual-degree programmes; hostel and mess are additional. These are dated reference figures, not confirmed 2027-28 prices.

For a 2027-28 applicant, the central budgeting gap is the next official fee schedule. The 2026-27 single- and dual-degree fee pages were discoverable through official search results, but their links returned 404 when opened during this check. The general admissions page showed a 2025-26 fee heading without readable amounts. Treat the 2026-27 figures below as the latest official indexed schedule located, and confirm the live fee circular and payment instructions before accepting an offer. Do not multiply an approximate monthly hostel or mess amount into a guaranteed annual bill.

Undergraduate courses and degree structure Verify programme details on the IIIT-H academic programme details.

Single-degree B.Tech: IIIT-H lists CSE and ECE as its undergraduate B.Tech areas. The institute describes a broad foundation across engineering, sciences, mathematics and humanities, with practicums and later advanced courses/projects. These are four-year degrees. Its description says students receive opportunities to pursue research during the B.Tech; that does not convert the single-degree award into a research master’s.

Dual degree: The five-year B.Tech plus MS by Research combines the undergraduate degree with a research master’s and thesis. The admissions materials name several tracks, including CSE, ECE, Computational Linguistics, Computational Natural Sciences, Computing and Human Sciences, and Geospatial Technology; exact B.Tech/MS combinations differ. A student considering this route should compare the research area and fifth-year thesis commitment against the four-year degree, not simply count the two awards.

Lateral entry: The academic-programmes page describes lateral entry for students who have completed two years of B.E. or B.Tech in CSE, IT or ECE. The programme joins the regular dual-degree structure and is described as four years. Admission is a separate route with its own eligible prior branches; it should not be costed as a direct Class 12 entry without checking the applicable lateral-entry notice.

The live academic-programmes page also lists postgraduate M.Tech, MS and doctoral areas, but their durations, admissions and fees differ from undergraduate charges. This article’s 2026-27 price comparison is limited to undergraduate single/dual-degree fee notices and DASA, not a fee schedule for all postgraduate awards. Check each programme’s current admission page before comparing total costs.

TableCards

Programme group	Published tuition reference	Other costs named in the notice	Current-cycle status
Single-degree B.Tech, batch 2026	₹5,00,000 per annum for 2026-27	Hostel about ₹6,000/month and mess about ₹5,000/month; paid semester-wise	2027-28 amount not established
Dual degree, B.Tech + MS by Research, batch 2026	₹5,00,000 per annum for 2026-27	Hostel about ₹6,000/month and mess about ₹5,000/month; paid semester-wise	2027-28 amount not established
DASA, international route, academic year 2026-27	USD 15,000 tuition	Hostel/mess extra; route page states its own currency and refund conditions	Separate applicant scope; not the domestic fee

The single- and dual-degree notices say tuition may be revised annually. Hostel and mess are separate from tuition and are approximate monthly charges, not included in the ₹5 lakh figure. Their payment is semester-wise before the semester begins. Students should request the current accommodation, mess, deposits and other mandatory-charge schedule; the sources reviewed do not establish a complete 2027-28 cost of attendance.

Do not compare the DASA USD amount directly with domestic tuition without keeping the applicant category, currency, exchange-rate/payment rules and refund schedule attached. The 2026-27 DASA notice describes tuition in USD but says payment and applicable refunds are in INR at its specified conversion basis. Those terms belong to that dated DASA intake and may change. A foreign passport or overseas school history alone is not enough to assume eligibility; use the route’s full definition.

Fifth-year dual-degree cost and support Verify programme details on the dual-degree fee notice.

The dual-degree fee page says that for the fifth year, tuition support is expected to be provided by the Research Advisor, Research Centre or Institute for all meritorious students. “Expected” is not a separate published guaranteed waiver for every applicant, and the page does not define the merit test, amount, approval process or treatment of hostel and mess charges. Confirm those details in writing before using fifth-year support to reduce a family budget. The standard annual tuition reference for 2026-27 is still reported as ₹5,00,000; fifth-year support is a separate qualification, not a reason to assume all years are free.

IIIT-H’s financial-assistance page links to the SBI Scholar Loan and describes an alumni-supported, need-based pay-it-forward fund. It says support is available from the second semester for students whose family income is below ₹8 lakh per annum, subject to availability and stated criteria; students above that threshold may also apply and can be considered by a committee. The page does not promise that every applicant will receive a particular amount. A pay-it-forward arrangement is repayable in the sense that a supported graduate agrees to support another student after graduating and earning. Check the current application process, eligibility evidence, loan terms, interest and repayment schedule directly with the institute and lender.

How to build a realistic budget Verify programme details on the official financial-assistance information.

Start with the programme’s tuition line and academic year. Add accommodation and food separately using the actual residence period and current institute rates; the 2026 notice gives monthly approximations but does not establish how many months you will be billed. Then ask whether there are refundable deposits, one-time admission charges, insurance, equipment, travel or other compulsory items. Do not treat an application fee as tuition or assume it is refundable. The fee documents inspected here do not support a single all-in 2027-28 total.

For a dual degree, budget each year separately and treat fifth-year support as conditional until the Research Advisor/Research Centre/Institute confirms eligibility and amount. For DASA, keep the international tuition schedule distinct from domestic single- and dual-degree charges and verify the applicable currency conversion and refund rules for that cycle. For a lateral-entry applicant, confirm whether the published fee basis matches the point of entry and programme duration before comparing it with a first-year direct-entry estimate.

2027-28 fee status and next steps Verify programme details on the UG admissions page.

No 2027-28 tuition, hostel, mess or full cost schedule was established from the official pages reviewed. The available ₹5,00,000 domestic amount and USD 15,000 DASA amount are 2026-27 references for the batch/cycle specified in their source notices; they are not a price promise for the next intake. The institute’s admissions page has a fee heading but its visible general page labels the figures 2025-26, while the more recent indexed route-specific fee pages could not be opened in this source check. Check the linked route page and portal again before making a deposit.

Before accepting an offer, obtain the current programme-specific fee schedule, semester payment dates, hostel and mess rates, deposits/refund rules, and written terms for any loan or support. IIIT-H’s admissions page publishes [email protected] and the UG admissions office phone numbers +91 (40) 6653 1250 and +91 6653 1337. Use the institute’s own portal and ask the admissions office to clarify a line item or fifth-year support condition; do not rely on third-party fee summaries for a binding amount.
