International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-B) Courses & Fee Structure

First separate tuition from the full student bill

IIIT Bangalore lists distinct fee schedules for its undergraduate, integrated postgraduate, taught M.Tech, research-degree and Digital Society programmes. They are not one common fee. The latest undergraduate schedule reviewed is explicitly for 2026-27, while the M.Tech pages also show a 2027-28 per-semester table attached to a row called “MTECH 2026.” Research fees are labelled 2026-27, and the M.Sc. Digital Society page shows a semester fee without an intake-year label. The PG Diploma in Digital Product Design and Management (PGD-DPDM) page reviewed describes a July 2025 cohort but does not give a tuition schedule.

For applicants planning a 2027-28 start, treat a dated 2026-27 total as historical. The M.Tech table’s 2027-28 column is useful as a posted rate for the named MTECH 2026 row, but it is not a new 2027 cohort total. The institute also says its fees can change. Confirm the fee notice attached to the exact programme and admission year before paying a deposit or comparing offers.

The comparisons below keep tuition separate from residence, food, insurance, refundable deposits and personal expenses. “Total tuition” means the institute’s stated tuition across the listed course duration. It is not a complete cost of attendance and does not include every cost a student may incur.

B.Tech and integrated M.Tech tuition

The official B.Tech and integrated M.Tech page publishes separate 2026-27 tuition schedules. For B.Tech, the listed semester tuition is ₹2.76 lakh in years 1-2, ₹3.04 lakh in year 3 and ₹3.35 lakh in year 4. The institute states a four-year tuition total of ₹23.82 lakh. Integrated M.Tech uses ₹2.76 lakh per semester in years 1-2, ₹3.04 lakh in year 3, ₹3.35 lakh in year 4 and ₹3.69 lakh in year 5, for a stated five-year tuition total of ₹31.20 lakh. The page labels both schedules 2026-27 and says fees are subject to revision, so these totals should not be carried forward as confirmed 2027-28 charges.

Both routes are residential, with compulsory hostel stay. The same page lists hostel and campus facility charges of ₹39,000 per semester and catering and food charges of ₹28,800 per semester. It lists medical insurance at ₹3,000 per year. At admission, students also pay a one-time ₹4,000 library deposit and ₹15,000 hostel caution deposit; both are described as refundable at graduation. These are separate from tuition, and the campus and catering rates are also subject to revision.

A useful budget sheet therefore has at least four lines: tuition by programme year, hostel and campus facilities by semester, catering by semester, and insurance by year. Add the two refundable deposits as cash needed at entry, not as tuition. Books, supplies, travel and a laptop depend on the student's choices and are not included in the published tuition total. See the official B.Tech and integrated M.Tech fee schedule.

M.Tech tuition and residential charges

The CSE, ECE and AI & DS admissions pages list ₹2.76 lakh tuition per semester for students joining in July 2026 and state a tuition total of ₹11.04 lakh for the programme. Their fee tables also contain a 2027-28 column with ₹2.76 lakh per semester against the row “MTECH 2026.” Read that as a published per-semester rate for that named row. The pages do not give a separate 2027 intake total, so applicants should confirm how the rate applies to their offer and cohort. The institute may revise fees.

The M.Tech pages say students pay an additional ₹39,000 per semester for hostel and campus facilities and ₹28,800 per semester for catering. They list a refundable library deposit of ₹4,000, a refundable hostel caution deposit of ₹15,000 and insurance charges of ₹3,000 per year. Other expenses such as books, supplies, travel and a laptop are personal costs. The institute describes M.Tech as a demanding programme with classes and laboratory work extending beyond ordinary hours and states that hostel accommodation is mandatory. Do not compare the ₹11.04 lakh tuition figure with a B.Tech or integrated M.Tech tuition total without also comparing course length and the separately billed residential charges.

The exact amount and schedule are repeated on the official M.Tech CSE, M.Tech ECE and M.Tech AI & DS pages. Check the offer-year fee schedule before accepting a seat.

Research-degree tuition and accommodation

The research-admissions page labels its tuition schedule 2026-27. For Ph.D. and Integrated Ph.D., it lists ₹77,000 per semester for years 1 through 5. For M.S. by Research, it lists ₹92,000 per semester in years 1 and 2 and ₹1.02 lakh per semester in year 3. The page states that M.S. by Research tuition remains payable until thesis submission and may be revised. Because the student’s completion date affects the number of semesters paid, the three-year fee table is not a guaranteed maximum for every research student.

The same page estimates hostel accommodation and allied charges at ₹39,000 per semester and mess charges at ₹28,800 per semester. It lists ₹2,000 annual medical insurance and a ₹19,000 caution deposit. Hostel availability is subject to availability, and these rates are subject to revision. Confirm whether accommodation is available for the selected registration mode and domain; do not assume a hostel place from the published estimate alone.

The fee page separately describes stipends for full-time scholars: ₹20,000 per month for full-time M.S. by Research, and staged Ph.D. and Integrated Ph.D. amounts tied to the comprehensive examination. These are stipend terms, not tuition discounts. Eligibility, timing and continuation conditions matter, so applicants should check the same-year stipend notice before subtracting an award from a budget. The linked research admissions and fee schedule is the relevant source for updated tuition and accommodation.

M.Sc. Digital Society and PGD-DPDM

The M.Sc. Digital Society page lists tuition at ₹1.92 lakh per semester and lays out four semesters, with a thesis or internship in the final term. At that published per-semester figure, four semesters would arithmetically equal ₹7.68 lakh in tuition. That is a calculation from the page, not a quoted programme total: the domestic fee line is not dated to a 2027-28 intake, and the same page says tuition is periodically revised for international students. Ask the programme office for the current domestic fee schedule and any hostel, food, deposit or insurance charges before treating the calculation as a payable amount. The M.Sc. Digital Society programme page is the official reference.

The official PGD-DPDM page says the listed programme lasted 12 months, July to June, starting July 2025. It gives no tuition figure in the page reviewed and does not establish a later cohort. Do not reuse the 2025 cohort’s duration or infer a fee from other IIIT-B programmes. Confirm whether a new cohort is announced and request its fee, payment calendar and included services directly from the programme contact. The historical page is PG Diploma in Digital Product Design and Management.

A practical way to compare offers

1. Match the amount to the exact programme and intake year. The 2026-27 B.Tech, integrated M.Tech and research totals are not published 2027-28 bills. For M.Tech, note that the fee table’s 2027-28 rate sits under “MTECH 2026”; verify the offer-specific schedule.
2. Write tuition as its own line, using either the per-semester rate or the institute’s stated programme total. Do not add a one-time refundable deposit to tuition.
3. Add residential charges only for programmes whose notice requires or offers hostel accommodation. B.Tech and integrated M.Tech require residence; M.Tech says hostel accommodation is mandatory; the research page says hostel availability is subject to availability.
4. Keep catering or mess charges, insurance, deposits and personal costs separate. Each may have a different billing period, and published rates can change.
5. Ask the programme office for a dated fee letter before paying. For an M.Sc. or PGD programme without a current intake-specific fee schedule on the reviewed page, request the current tuition, hostel and payment dates rather than filling the gap from another programme.

The most comparable number is the tuition for the same award and course length. The lowest semester amount alone can mislead when one programme is four years, another five, and housing or catering is billed separately. Use the current offer letter and fee notice as the final basis for your family’s cash-flow plan.
